Good morning tractor drivers and Happy 4th of July!!

It's been HOTTER then bejesus around here the last few days. It was 106° here yesterday. I have lived here for 28 years and I can't recall it ever getting this hot for more then a day or two, it's been near or busting the 100° mark for a couple of weeks now.

I hope you all have a fun and safe 4th!

If it ever got that hot here, people would be dying by the hundreds, if not thousands. I suspect a lot of our infrastructure would fail, it isn't designed to get that hot.

70* here but very humid.

Cleaned the riding mower deck in preparation for a new belt, which I will get next week since the dealer was closed today.

Used the forks on the FEL and pushed the poison Ivy covered tree back against the tree line on the road right of way. Yesterday I had cut some of the top off to make it easier. Had to lift it over a fence post and a couple forsythia bushes. scraped off some of the ivy with the forks. picked up the top limbs from the yard and dumped them out of the way, then picked up the smaller pieces wearing gloves. The main poison ivy vine growing up the tree is over 2" in diameter. Took an immediate shower afterwards and have all the clothes in the washing machine. Hopefully I don't get any more poison ivy on me than what I got last week.

Wife not feeling well so not going to see fireworks tonight, stay safe everyone.

We all went down to my cousin's place on Four Mile Creek. Mamma {in the white chair} and assorted kin folks chillin'. Cousin James and his grand nephew fishing. They caught a bunch of small ones, but the little kids still got a kick out of them. This was my first time at my cousin's place, and I was very impressed. The house is small, and the piece of land isn't very big, but because of the big horseshoe bend in the creek, he has lots of waterfront. He only paid $25K, but has put about that much more into getting the house fixed up.

67 this morning high of 79 later today with showers and storms some of which may be heavy. I think we are stuck in a rut. Wife mowed grass between rain showers then took Z to mow more grass. Got half way done then quick hard shower came but no choice waited it out and finished even steep part.

Took Z to shop for service and new motor. Going fro 23hp to 29hp with fuel injection much cheaper than replacing Z. This Z is ten years old and the old saying they don't make them like they used to really applies. So we decided to go this route and hopefully it's the right one

Neighbor came over and bought in 12 loads of dirt to fill in behind my storage building. Will regrade and plant in grass. Some of the trees we cut down really opened up the view of the mountain and with time plan to put a deck on the back. This has been eight years in the making and will be a four step process.

Supposed to pack this morning then head south for the week for some R&Rbut no ocean this time too many shark attacks for my liking

Need to get coffee started. 54° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 83° with hazy sunshine. Another nice day. Not much planned today. Our dog and our sons dog that is staying with us while his family is on vacation, had a terrible time with fireworks noise yesterday evening. Kept us up until fireworks stopped after midnight. They are both sleeping in this morning.
Larro, nice relaxing pictures.
All those on the roads today, be safe.
Good Morning All.

I got the sister-in-laws lawn mowed and cut a big bull pine for a neighbor. Could only pull eight feet of it at a time up out of the hole it was in. Got to make several more trips to get the rest of it out and She has a half dozen of these that are spoiling her view. :-(

68 heading to 81. Got a few showers again yesterday. But dried out enough to mow around the house...have guests coming over today for one of our son's birthdays.

Had a nice cookout at a friend's yesterday...his birthday is on July 4...also celebrating his retirement.

Saw and heard more fireworks in the area last night than ever.
