65 right now...high of 81 today with a 60% chance of thunderstorms.
Mowed most of the lawn yesterday...I'll finish it today. Rigged the cutter on the tractor yesterday too. I need to adjust the height of the tail wheel to get a lower cut today.

No other plans after those two chores.

61F low 80's for high w/good chance late afternoon t-storms.
Wash the pickup and tractor yesterday also sharpen 3 set mower blades than putter.
Heading out soon for some pole saw action.

Enjoy the day all.

I guess I have to make the coffee this morning, since my wife had a "toss and turn" night.

Sitting here pondering the week. No rain. Garden dying. Cracks in the ground. I was so glad I went to Mikim's funeral. It was a sad/happy occasion. Good to see my TBN peeps there. Another old schoolmate passed away in a bad car wreck and his funeral was yesterday, but I had to work. Be sure to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you often.

So hot outside from noon til dusk, you don't even want to go out in it. Need to mow the grass, but the drought is keeping it from growing too high. Maybe I'll let it stay high until the next rains?

83 this morning and headed to 94 today. Need to go see how warm to chicken coops are. Birds arrive tomorrow. Plus grease some fans and put belt back on mower and try to figure that out. Wife wants supper from Patties Place. So sounds like we maybe having 2" pork chops for supper.

Hope y'all's moms get to feeling better.

Eric I have found that dry years are the best time to extend those fences. As they solve the problem in wet to normal years.

Good morning! We went to the Hot Nights Cool Tunes on the square in downtown Brenham Texas last night. It was hot 97˚ at 7pm and still 91˚ when we left at 9PM, but the singing group was cool - Molly and the Ringwalds.

We are starting to get ready for our annual VFD fish fry in just 4 weeks. I still am going to push to have it moved to October next year. The people really come out good in August, and it has never rained the past 33 Fish fries but it's really tough for us old guys to turn the cow field into a outdoor kitchen and tent dinning room for 1200 in the heat.

Ron I hope you mother gets to feeling better. Did the high blood pressure come on suddenly or over time?

83 degrees, 59% humidity, boy is it nice outside; Texas has the heat right now.
Have been up since 3am for no reason whatsoever, just couldn't go back to sleep and so by now
I am sure ready for a Sunday afternoon nap. Four straight hours working in the garage and actually was able to
park the truck in there when I was done. A long overdue goal that I'm quite pleased to get done. In four days it will be a year since I've owned this home and I promised myself I'd have it reasonably organized in a year. Running a bit late on the garage...but got it done. for the rest of the day I intend to work very hard at doing utterly nothing.

Don I always remember the local Grange chicken barbecue at the annual Fair in August. Must have been 100 degrees in the food tent; even the flies were sweating.

Ron I hope you mother gets to feeling better. Did the high blood pressure come on suddenly or over time?

High blood pressure was sudden. Got doctors report today. She had a stroke at back of her brain. She can talk, see and move her limbs. They are not fully sure of how she will be down the road. At 96 they are not going to be operating to relieve the pressure. As week progresses we will see how she responds to the care she is getting. Tough lady that has made it through things that others could not.

68 right now...back to the heat, 85 today and it'll be in the mid to high 80's all week.

Plenty of rain did come as promised yeasterday, though no where near enough to float off a turtle, or a load of chickens, as some of you get in a single day.

Those potatoes I inherited from Mr Weaver are doing very well, despite most of them being nibbled by mice before I got them into the ground. Shame I didn't find out the variety as the ones lifted so far are very good. Perhaps I should save some to plant next year.

Gary, hope you got that new line up and running for today. Do you get time off in-lieu to work on those finishing touches to your 1/2 scale ?

Ron, your mom sounds a fighter. If she can talk, can she smile too ? It's nice if you can both recall a few happy memories while she is stuck in a hospital bed.
