Good morning all, 62 going to 87, with 20% chance of thunderstorms. Could be heavy rain, large hail.............. Looking forward to today. This will be our first day out in a good while. Cracker Barrel and then do some shopping, and then likely some work moving mere furniture to the house from the storage unit.
Eric Wife liked the Friday thing. She knows about my punctuation already. I hope I put in enough ,,,,,, to last a while up above. If I run out let me know.
Farmer We ought to take up a collection, that is the best reason I have heard in a long time for buying a bailer. I'd kick in $20 if it gets going. Ed

Good morning! 71˚ heading to high 90s, clear skies.
Buckeye, I knew there was more to the story, I didn't picture you like some of the TBNers that have a half acre and think they need a 75hp tractor. My Dad is 88 and still works on his tractor also so I know how you feel. Slowly all his jobs are becoming mine with his eyesight dimming. We need to keep them happy and active as long as they want.
Commas are important or people's imagination in other countries will run wild!
Today is the quiet day before the invasion. The city folks are coming and They need warnings about the spiders, snakes, bees, hidden washouts and trees and how not to run over Whipper in the golf utility vehicle when she catches a scent and dashes in front of the tires. My trails are in bad shape this year because of all the fallen trees and rain. Actually I have no trails anymore and the field grass is waist high so all we have is the driveway road that goes through the middle of the property and it is still wet in some areas that are still seeping.

Good Morning! 75F @ 4:45AM. Abundant sunshine. High 101F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
Today is supposed to be the last of the 100+F days for a week; our relief will consist of low to mid 90s for highs and low 60s for lows. Not much of a break, but I'll take 10 degrees if that's all that Mother Nature is making available.
Buckeye, your father's gonna do what makes him happy, and at 92 he's earned the right to whatever he wants. It's a shame other family members would conspire to take that away from him, no doubt "for his own good". :thumbdown: If you can be his partner in "crime", more power to you!
One nice thing about spreading that gravel in the rain, Drew, is the water will help it compact as you "wheel roll" it with the tractor.
I know what you mean about the invasion, Don. Here the boaters swarm the reservoir, and some of them are pretty careless. Noise day and night, but the worst is camping on the shore with campfires. They're not supposed to do it, but every year I go down to the shore after the holiday and find it strewn with trash and smoldering fire rings. I try to be home in case one gets away, not that there's much I could do to help put it out, other than call in the alarm if I see it first.
A comma is a powerful thing. Some in this country would try to put some extra ones in the 2nd Amendment, and use them to separate us from our right to bear arms. However in Kaliformia the politicians prefer to ignore it outright: Twelve new bills are headed to the governor's desk that will do little more than make tens of thousands of new criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens and waste hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on the resulting lawsuits.
Got a haircut yesterday. The shop is down to one barber (the owner), who has instituted an appointment system to more efficiently manage the customer wait. It's working so well that the shop is virtually deserted, and the lively conversations that used to take place between the clientele are gone, too. But that hasn't slowed the barber any; he's an Englishman and is very happy with the results of the Brexit vote. He claims that the middle class has vanished in Merry Ol' England, resulting in a widening gap between haves and have nots. His conclusion is that the vote was the result of the have nots rising up and sticking it to the haves, as the negative economic impacts will be more severe for those with something to lose.
I usually open the sliding glass doors in the morning to let cool air circulate through the house, and this morning I can hear the low moaning of what I think is a mountain lion on the hunt. Just before that came the braying of a mule or donkey, he probably heard the lion, too. Last week I read a thread somewhere in which the claim was made that it was easy to confuse the braying of a mule with the howling of a coyote. I suppose anything is possible, especially if you've never heard either. :laughing:
TGIF folks!

I woke up to a Bi Centennial commercial, I looked over at my wife and she wasn't 23, that's when I realized it was a news story! 
Anyway, with that fantasy gone....Overcast and sticky as a kid in a candy store, storms later. Going to look an Agco Allis later.

75 ish here this AM. I'm off today, so I get to stay home and terrorize the family..... Especially my wifey this Friday.
"Feels Like Temps" are going to dangerous levels the next few days, with Sunday being the highest forecasted at 107 degrees.
Punch list today includes spraying for insects, I use some stuff called Demon because it is supposed to work on scorpions although I haven't seen scorpions in their usual places. We are having an infestation of some small beetles about 8-10 mm long (I put it in mm so Eric could follow along ). I have one of those bug zapper lights running outside and it is almost catching fire zapping this beetle infestation. I have it about 6 meters from my barn in case it catches fire...I'm here to tell you those zapped, burning beetles stink to high heavens.
We got a decent rain shower a few days back, but I'm starting to get the usual dry cracks in my clay soil yard. Usually in late July and August, they get to be almost 3" wide and go waaay deep. Maybe 1 meter.
RNG, do you carry in case of mountain lions? I've seen video of them stalking and pouncing, and they are quite stealthy. A fun thing to do if you have absolutely nothing to do would be to go to the public boat launch and watch the rookie boat launching show. It can be hilarious at times, with husbands yelling at wives or kids about what to do or not do.
Buckeye, I wish I had a round baler, but those things are pricey. Like close to $40,000 new. Sounds like Drew could use one too with all that mowing.
Ed, enjoy your day with your wife de jour.
Ron, get a little better day by day. Glad you have nice weather for your walk. Stop to smell the roses. Does your 14 year old grandson know how to drive the tractor?
Buppies, hope you're feeling better too.
Good day all!

73 headed to 86 today. Light rain in the area this morning.
Once rain moves out I need to get some cows up and treated for flies. They are getting bad this year. Then work on spreading some concrete remnants that I had piled for road repairs. These roads are just farm roads for me but have gotten bad enough that 4wd's are having trouble during wet weather. Maybe I'll have time to cut some firewood later.
Buckeye that's as good of a reason to buy a round baler as any.

Farmer, how's your boy doing? Is he in Popsicle heaven?

Kyle. He's doing good. He's a much different kid in a hospital. In the hospital he layed in the bed and didn't move. Even after they took the iv out of his foot. He got home yesterday and went back to a lot of his normal stuff. We've been having a hard time getting him to calm down. You wouldn't know he had surgery 2 days ago by his actions. He's slacked off the Popsicles and has now switched to yogurt and fruit. He's been turning down ice cream also. Although he did ask for a honey bun last night.
This getting him to drink every 2 hours when he's asleep is back firing. At 2 hours I can get him to take water from a syringe and stay asleep. At 4 hours he wakes up and is up for the rest of the night. Let's just say wife's not in a good mood.
