We are having an interesting summer here. If the sun is out then it is hot but we get some relief from the daily rain storms coming over and it cools down a good bit.

The Schmidt's and Nate were over for dinner last night. We enjoyed the evening and even had a nice rain just at dark. We cooked some Swan's steaks and some of that Snook sausage. Lisa made an awesome salad for us. Of course the Nolen's were on our minds and several of their present UK experiences were part of the discussion. Nate had to leave early for the Jemez...said something about having to meet a girl about a horse. :)

Well just sitting here enjoying the last time-trial of the Tour de France. It should be exciting since Floyd Landis is in third place overall, 30 seconds back, after an incredible mountain stage where he made up an incredible seven minutes to win the stage going away and get back in the hunt for the GC and the yellow jersey. He has been a better time-trialer than the two riders in front of him. Now it will be interesting to see if he can make up the 30secs to have the yellow jersey going into Paris and win the Tour. Only the third American to win if he can pull it off. LeMond and Armstrong are the other two Americans. Floyd starts the stage at 8:09am..in about 13 minutes. :)

UPDATE: Floyd did it! He came in third in the stage but out did both leaders by enough time to take the overall lead in the GC and will be in yellow tomorrow. Now they ride into Paris and it is done. :)
