Good morning!!!!

[lennyzx11]

Welcome! What type of work takes you to Mt?
.

Hi. I'm a site construction manager for building the big wind turbines for GE. Travel all over but am usually in rural areas.

Left Abilene at 100+ degrees and woke up to 51 degrees in Great Falls this morning.

51 here for a few days would be wonderful!

Kyle what are you watching from, Netflix, Hula . . .?

Ed, and others that should also be on the heart disease reversing diet, Cathy Fisher has started a Kickstarter for her new book, I jumped in and ordered one through her Kickstarter program. The Straight Up Food Cookbook by Cathy Fisher —Kickstarter
I'm have been on her email list and her recipes are really really good. Her recipes are also good for those want to loose weight. Plant based, no oil, no salt, no sugar.

Well Lenny there is a serious supply of hot air here so get those blades spinning!
You get 100 bucks a kw generated towards your next tractor. :thumbsup:
Not only are you in rural areas you are in rural windy areas...
Did you work on GE gas or steam turbines before this or is this a far flung relative in the power generation field?

I always wonder what happens to one of those things when a tornado cruises by. Likely something on YouTube.

Tell me why they do not work in DC, more wind there than anywhere. Or is just hot air there? Then there are the state capitals also.

We are hot and have been for I am sure a month with temps running from mid 90's to low 100's most days with heat index being I think as much as 115 a few days. Construction workers have been knocking off about 2 for a while. When our lows are 75 plus with humidity we often run (very seldom are be lower than 60%) it separates the boys from the men. But boy does the sun bring the tourist to be tanned at our beaches, 20 miles from Myrtle Beach SC.

I had one sweet old lady tell me I needed to turn those big fans off one day out in east Oklahoma.
Said it was too windy with them running wide open like that!
Of course I said "Yes ma'am. I'll slow em down a mite."

I like Rome, violent bastards, but entertaining, I mean how many shows feature an aristocratic woman getting a huge ***** for her birthday? :laughing:

A lot of overcast today, but hot and sticky as a Bit O Honey on a BBQ grill!

Waiting for my youngest at his Eagle Scout board of review.

Still in the 90s.

Kyle what are you watching from, Netflix, Hula . . .?.

I believe we have a Roku with Netflix and Amazon prime. I've already watched Breaking Bad. It was good, but a trainwreck you couldn't take your eyes off of.

Putting up windmills sounds like an awesome job. A modern day Don Quixote.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

Waiting for my youngest at his Eagle Scout board of review.

Still in the 90s.

That's something to be proud about.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

That's something to be proud about.

Thanks, both sons are Eagle Scouts, and fine, outstanding and polite young men.

Good evening all. 77F this morning partly cloudy and calm. Original forecast was for 93F and showers. The high of 90F was at about noon, followed by a strong thunderstorm that dumped 1.9 in rain. Temp droped to 75F during the heavy rain, and have recovered to 80F. Rode the bike ahead of the rain then made a Costco lunch run.

61 right now..a bit cooler high of 86...maybe a thunderstorm.

Good morning. Looks like we are in for a good number of showers today, although I did manage to pull a few more ragwort plants in the dry. It's a shame a plant that looks so pretty when in flower is so toxic when eaten.

Our earthquake delayed Toyota has finally arrived, I'm off to collect it later this morning. Rain was starting as I got a cardboard box out to empty the Honda, always surprising how much junk accumulates inside a car after a few years. Like all the Hondas I have had before this CR-V has been very reliable, I ought to be sad to see it go so early in it's life, however the tax rules have changed significantly for me in the last 2 year now I am totally self employed, so a hybrid should at least keep my accountant happy.


Welcome Lenny. If you have the time to take a few pictures, I'm sure many of us would be interested to see the kind of places you get to and how the work progresses.

I have been following a whole food vegetable based whole food diet, very low oil and sugar diet for about 3 years now. The problem is my wife likes to cheat and she is the cook so I end up with a bit to much oil in my diet. Even so I am able to do much more than I could do before. A 100 yard walk in normal weather and I would be puffing like I just ran a mile. Now I do pretty good unless the temp and humidity are up and even then I do ok if I just walk and don't get in a hurry so it is a big improvement. Ed

62F clear sky might touch 90F.
Weekend getting closer w/cooler temps,that alone helps get thru the grind of today.

Enjoy the day all.

 

[Ed of all trades]

Good morning all. 70 here this am going to 86 with 80% chance of thunderstorms this pm. Radar shows a storm heading out way now so I will need to walk the dog soon as he is afraid of thunder. Have some running to do today after a visit from my mother in law.

We just got a Bonanza video pack from the library and have watched two of them. Fun in a cheesy kinda way.

Buckeye, Proud papa with good reason.

Better go walk the dog, Have a great day, Ed

77 going to 97 today, another morning only day outside.
Suddenlink coming early this morning; my internet keeps cutting out, always in the afternoon, always works in the morning, a bit odd, strange signal could be heat related but I think there's a physical problem with the cable line.
They told me right away there was a problem with the signal,probably way too weak. Hopefully they won't dig up my back yard putting in new cable to the pole.

Then food shopping, and I'm picking up a few more of those veggie burgers. Evolution, not revolution, will try to alternate beef and plant.
why don't any fast food places offer a veggie burger? It's just another patty on a bun...

 

[Buppies]

Buckeye I'm sure you are very proud

70 this morning huge thunderstorm yesterday afternoon flooded entire complex we were working in washed out sections of trail we put in the day before mud everywhere.

Today's high 90 but more numerous storms by lunch time. A/C still broken
