Good morning!!!!

[riptides]

70 outside this AM. Highs into the 100's again today. It's really bad for a lot of people around here. The sun and humidity sap your being out of you.
Today is finish mowing around my round bales that were in the front yard. Should take a few minutes. LOL.

Lots of gatorade on tap and ready to go. Lots of fresh water in the house. We get the nice big water bottles that chill oh so good. This time of year, the water coming out of the kitchen, which still has not been remodeled is pretty warm. One of these days, we will finish what we started some 12 years ago. LOL.

Be safe, have a great day all. Drink lots of water today and stay chilly!

Drinking first cup of coffee. 68 with mostly clear skies this morning. Heading to 90° with sunny skies. Started moving stuff out of wood bin. Helper will be a no show today. It's tough when you have parents, 2 pairs of grand parents, baseball, and band practice trying to use your time. Good kid and not enough time in the day for everything. Gone to band camp next week. Cut lawn today and continue moving stuff from bin.
Drew, the plastic wraps work good. Heavy duty types work best. Here is a way to do it with a cheap length of PVC pipe.
Good Morning All.

Don, Kyle and Ron, thanks. I ordered a dozen of the grey ones from Amazon. Great idea.
pleasant 74 now, zooming up to 95 with heat index of 109
sounds like a water wagon day, ride around and spray myself with water when hot.
Surprising how nice just running cool water over your hands and wrists is
Yesterday I had to put hose on top of my head and let it run for awhile

Good morning! The temp finally dropped below 80 at 77˚ but will shoot up again at sunrise, another 100˚ day.
I still have not had my 2nd weed eating day on the front fence. Little things keep popping up during my 3 hour morning window of productivity.

Hey wingsprd, get out the Georgia obituaries!

Same hot and humid here as all you others have.

Good morning all. 70 right now going to 94 with a 30% chance of T storms. Heat advisory on both sides of me. Thankful for the mountains. Going to get the wood ready to turn a roller for my wife's rug loom. I am changing it so that she does not have to warp it after every 8 or 10 rugs. (It only takes about 20 hr to warp it.) This new roller is the first step. Going over to the wood turners school where there is a lathe big enough to turn it. the teacher/ friend will help me.

Buppies, I worked as a sander on a paving crew when I was 17. Hot exhausting work, be careful out there.

Wngsprd. I started to post yesterday morning and my laptop locked up and I had to turn it off to get it going again. That is the 2nd tine lately and both times I was typing a post on TBN.

Have a great COOL day. Ed

Good Morning!!!! 70F @ 5:30AM. Sunny. High 97F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

Got the holes on the van ground out and painted yesterday, wire/hose re-routed, and the grommet/tube in place just waiting for the paint to dry. Mechanic still hadn't gotten the insulation installed on the fuel tank, and has kept complaining it was too dirty/damaged/didn't have the right glue. So I brought it home with me and will take care of it over the weekend. He did start the installation on the A/C after I offered to do it for him; I think he really needs the money and doesn't want to let go of the work. Still have some wiring to sort out on the back of the van, just what does that blue wire with the red stripe do?:confused2:

There was a story on the news last night about a fire suppression system that saved a house in the Big Sur fire last year. It uses a series of sprinklers to spray the same stuff the borate bombers drop, and can be triggered automatically by sensors or remotely by a phone call. The name of the company that designed it is Firebreak Protection Systems, and I've got an email in to them asking for more info. It won't be cheap, but then how much is a house and everything you own worth?

Headed for another hot weekend, the sixth or seventh +100F weekend in a row for us. Picked up some blue pond dye and more glyphosate at Tractor Supply yesterday, so will get out on the Kubota and spray this morning before it gets too hot. Was surprised that glyphosate has gone from $45/2.5 gallon jug to $65 in the year since I last bought it. And the clerk wanted everything but my astrological sign before she'd sell me any. Be interesting to see what happens next time it goes on sale and I try to pick up 10 gallons of the stuff.

TGIF folks!
