Good morning!!!!

[LS Tractor Owner]

Didn't do anything more than step outside to change zones on the drip system. Only one more zone to do (there are 12 of them). I swear I heard the trees, shrubs, and flowers all sigh in unison.....

We hit 97° today, a couple of degrees above the forecast.

It's still 82° at 21:15.... way warmer than what we usually are this time of night. We should be in the upper 60's now and 50's overnight.

I am amazed at how far north this heat wave has expanded.... Boise Idaho...102°. Montana, Wyoming, S.Dakota.... crazy high temps!

.....AND -- it's all heading east. You guys better get your kidde pools prepared!

Mostly, from drinking too much water at night, then having to get up early. Once up, takes awhile to get to sleep.

Not much happened today. Did have a new Mexican food truck at work today, ordered burrito bowl, got burrito. It was ok.

Watered garden about 9 pm. Cantaloupe plant about all dead, don’t think the melons on it will get ripe. It should of had enough water. Got peppers on, but wife says they are red and need to turn. Tomatoes also green.

Totally off subject here ---- where is a good place to get ammunition. The local shops here have no .380 ACP rounds except for reloads. I did a google search, but 3/4 of the sites have so much BS on them, I just move on....

Any good recommendations? --- where you have actually purchased from?

Natchez is one I have bought from midway in the past expensive now

71 high of 94 the heat is a coming

good morning all
another scorcher, no worries Ted, you have sent the heat successfully to the East, 96 here today.
Folks just don't want to do anything in this heat

never got the Eley hose reel completed, good excuse to have good friend come over and we can fix it in ten minutes.

dealing with ground hogs at church. Have gotten a variety of quotes. Our own caretaker wants a shot at it, literally but we told him he can't shoot
the animals, they have to be hauled off. Thirty years ago we used to drive them over the Delaware River (not far away) and let them out in NJ.
We just can't shoot off firearms in a Quaker graveyard. No no no. So we have to catch them. Melon rinds I read here, great info.

I'm more used to .22 hollow points and head shots. Like RS.

I need to go find a pool today. Lawn needs mowing but if I don't do that early, what a sweat box. Mostly clover flowers which makes the bees happy.

hope you all have a great day, safely, hydrated, etc.

Popgadget, how do the alpacas handle the heat with all that fur?
do you run fans in the barn?

megamillions up to 600M +. 350 Cash. Maybe I could throw in one implement with the new tractor.
trying to figure out what to offer Popgadget, He already has the most powerful hydrostatic tractor out there, going larger, as I did, means
you have to learn a new transmission. And since there are no tractors that fly...

69° right now...high about 90° if the forecast holds...

No dump run yesterday...just not enough stuff to justify it.

Couple webinars today, that's about it, I reckon

GM crew.
69 outside this AM. Heading to lower 90's.
Did about 1/2 the weed whacking yesterday after finishing up the yard with the ZTR. Logged 4 miles yesterday. Only two shirts. Should have been three....but two miles away from the house...not changing. LOL. Yeah it is hot and humid. I actually gave up on the whacker....my trigger finger was hurting so bad.
Will finish up today and putz around poking holes in the Milk House for electric.
Hope all have a good day. Be safe. Stay cool and hydrated. Get healthy too...for those ailing.

oh to be young again, this looks to be about 45 years ago.
found this pic, one of the very first digital pics I took, I think on a Sony camera, first gen, with a real CD in it.
they didn't have memory sticks then, soon did afterwards, in order to make camera smaller.

this was one of my favorite trucks. Was working hard in insurance agency, active in fire company a block away from office, those
were good times. Still need to make more good times.

2.8 V6, manual, lot of fan noise, those engines sounded like bus motors.
My first bed cover, with matching custom wheels with brown centers, all color coordinated.
I have no idea why I got rid of it, around 50k miles when sold. I bet it would be worth more now than what I paid for it.

sometimes my fire coats smelled so bad after a fire that throwing it in the back of the truck was a must.
Then take it home and hose it off and hang it up. Later on my wife was not fond of that burned smell.

Wow. That's a long time ago. LOL. Ahh to master time.....

S10 - My mechanic called mine the deer slayer. Mine was a fun truck. No mechanical issues other than deer aggressively banging on it. And IIRC a trip into the woods due to black ice. That truck proved I have a guardian angel or angels. Was a good truck, just outgrew it with home/farm/family responsibilities. Ended up donating it to a charity. Fond memories of a good truck.
