Good morning!!!!

[PJSprog]

71°F and cloudy with scattered rain this morning, going up to 91° today with more storms expected.

A fairly windy storm moved through yesterday just after I got home from work. Temperature dropped 13 degrees in about two minutes. I didn't hate that. We got some much-needed rain from it, too.

The Wife and I go back and forth over asphalt on the driveway. Part of it has been paved with chip and oil by the county road crews her grandfather knew when they had some leftover material. Unfortunately, it fell into disrepair over the years, and now has patches of loose gravel here and there ... which frequently wash out into tire-eating holes requiring constant vigilance to keep them level. I want to just asphalt the whole thing, but she's afraid the slope is too steep for winter ice on a smooth surface and wants to rock it like we did the top area by the garage. As expensive as new asphalt is, I suspect she's going to win this one.

That's quite a trip, mostly_. It's about 400 miles across Kansas. Did you ride roads or trails?

It was 43* this morning, it made it into the low 70's yesterday. Today looks like it's going to be in the low 80's with a 20% chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon.

I think I'll start on painting the water shed today. I painted it a few years back and got it done in one day. But it was a 14 hr day, I'll make it a two day job this time.

Hope everyone has a nice hump day.
CWB.

It's cool in Texas with lots of rain. That's unusual...another hot day here though, but with thunderstorms all day predicted, a little cooler than yesterday's scorcher. 78 on thermometer at 5am, so not starting cool at all.

Hope you all have a good day.

Duplicate.

Well Drew .......... it IS about our turn for some rain and a bit cooler weather.

74 degrees this morning and our rain continues. It’s so far been good soaking rain. Prior to yesterday we’d had two 1/4” rains in 65 days.

It’s 82 now, going to about 85 today, hit 95 yesterday.
I’m trying to get ready for Carlisle GM this weekend, but it looks like rain. Got the car cleaned up and ready to go in case the weather gives us a break.
Happy anniversary to the Farmers.
Prayers for all.
Hope you guys have a good day. Heading to mow grass.

Randy, good luck at the car show. But if the rain in Texas is headed our way, may be a washout. Who knows....hope for the best and plan for the worst.
Apparently some flooding going on in Texas, major rain storm.

All the hard work done for the day. Second set of clothes wet but mostly from hose. Headed out after resting to water shrubs planted this Spring.
And look at the tall clover in the lawn by the road and wonder didn't I just mow that two days ago?
We've had plenty of rain to keep the grass green, just not enough to sink in much further.

Bird, prayer for your daughter and you.

Drew, we are thinking of how we can cut out work in our yard. We have 20-25 shrubs- trees that all need cutting or pruning. I am voting for the heavy equipment cure. Have fun and take care in the heat.

hope today is a happy one. Ed

Ed, I have two big azalea bushes in the rear of the house that desperately need pruning, and two in the front that need yanking out
with the FEL, but I figure they will just have to wait. Maybe for a cooler day too...
Hope your a/c is keeping you cool as a properly chilled cucumber.

Good morning to all! Low of 52 this morning at 06:00. Going up to around 90. Super dry, humidity was at only 8%, probably drop to 5-6% by this afternoon. No chance of rain. The sun is intense without any humidity to diffuse it, much better and tolerable in the shade.

Rick, glad you finally got some worthwhile rain. It's a shame that there's so much flooding going on near the gulf.

Drew, glad you didn't melt yesterday . Amazing that the weeds / garden can tolerate that heat as well.

Bird, prayers for your daughter, hope everything goes well.

Ron, thoughts, prayers and well wishes for your appointment next week.

Thomas, make sure you have your running shoes on when dealing with the nasties...

Lenny, congrats on the move and cooler weather, condolences on the 'furniture shopping '

RNG, there are policies in place about 'rough housing', not sure if ther were any reprimands issued.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Out to the farmers, have a nice day together.

The knee is tolerable, still swollen and a bit of pain. Only took 3 phone calls and 3 days for the ortho Dr to call back....first appt available is next Monday...hopefully better by then. Just taking it easy in the meantime.

Prayers and thoughts out for everyone this morning, have a great day!
