I agree. And now our 13year old whole house air conditioner is deciding to crap out.Can't really complain as we have never had a problem with it. Just sucks that we have a week of 90's plus coming. I'm heading for the tractor, the air works great in that. Might be hard sleeping.....

Didn't know the B had buddy seat(s)...gonna get crowded in there soon...

99 degrees, am thankful a/c's work, voltage down to 113 on a Sunday which is pretty low.
I guess if one has an a/c it's going to be turned on today.

got all my pumpkins planted, better late than...

Hit 98° with heat index of 115 today, didn’t do much.

Did get the metal working class in HS due to moving but was always interested. Never had a need that justified the investment unlike my wood tools. A few years back my good friend sold his mill and lathe, old, good stuff. I secretly hoped it would languish a bit on CL and I could bargain to a price I could justify, but alas they sold very very quickly.

As for the cleanup. I remind myself they didn稚 get in such bad shape overnight so it痴 gonna take time to fix. Not that makes it more pleasant. LOL

I took shop in HS but it was a welding class only when it came to metal. They had a metal lathe but the teacher knew nothing about it but did let me play with it a bit.
I can't justify it ether for the work I know I need to do with it but I am looking at it as a hobby. I do hope to do some jobs for people sometime but it will be a while. Ed

Good evening all. 80F this morning, mostly clear, and windy. Wind died off till rain got close, sky clouded up this afternoon. high temp was 98F untill rain was close then cooled off to low 80's. Rain did miss us , Muenster got 1/3 inch of rain. Did make it to chapel this morning, Stepdaughter's golf cart discharged passed where her charger would recharge and had to "tickle" 3 batteries to get it charging, then moved stuff for her. Too hot to do much but nap this afternoon. Got this pic from another guy on the ride, I on the left with the leaning rack bag.
Prayers for all, especially Buppies,Rip and LS.

Back to work...yippee skippee

 

[ronjhall]

Need to pour first cup of coffee. 75° with a few clouds this morning. Heading to 86° with partly cloudy skies. Trip to Port Huron, MI. to visit Aunt and Uncle today.
Good Morning All.

 

[Thomas]

71F now mid 90's for high no rain in sight.

Really not all that excited about going to work and dealing w/heat complaints...the selfish ones.
Time for E muffin feed little critters and slow roll to work.

Enjoy the day all and stay cool.

Another hot day here too.
Busy morning, dentist first, then breakfast with friends, then drop off some freshly pulled carrots (atomic red) to the food pantry, carrots a little woodier and dry than I would like but still good. Also three packages of mixed okra, not a big week but after all those potatoes, I can slow down a bit...

okra is fun to pick. I'll think something isn't quite long enough in the morning and by evening it will be fully grown. Amazing growth rates. I have two varieties of green and two varieties of red so this is very colorful. Must be picked every day, everyone lectures me to cut it small.

72 going to 97 with Feds issuing Heat Advisory.

Early dentist appointment for me, too.

Drew, are those red carrots in that photo?

 

[daugen]

Drew, are those red carrots in that photo?

yes, Atomic Red

 

[wngsprd]

yes, Atomic Red

Okay, thanks...somehow I missed reading that in your first paragraph...too busy thinking about okra, I guess. And to answer your question yesterday, I usually play Frisbee with Coco every morning before or at sunrise.

Good morning! Hitting 102˚ today, yesterday was 101˚. Comparing highs it looks like I have moved to a hotter location. The gulf breeze keeps Galveston in the low 90s but by the time the breeze gets here the land heats it up 10˚, but the humidity is less so it actually feels better.
Shelves to add in the utility room and caulking outside are on the list today/this week. For fun spinning classes start, first Horticulture meeting today (the club that has a tractor) and I need to make a decision on repairing my "vintage" bike or getting a new one. The roads are so smooth and dust free and wide here here, I have to take advantage of them. They are extra wide so the golf carts and bikes can use one side. Mostly has me motivated, maybe by Fall we can start comparing miles and times.

This huge neighborhood has small neighborhoods inside it. They were numbered as they were built. The lower the number the older the homes. They are now building neighborhood # 80. Each of the neighborhood has between 15 and 150 houses and each neighborhood is like its own small little town with a entrance from the major streets. Each neighborhood has events, clubs, newsletters and email notifications of important information and deaths. Everyone is very friendly and while in the larger cities you barely know a few neighbors everyone here seems like a cousin.

Still trying to figure out a new avatar . . . . . .

Drew, your turnips are shaped funny.

edit: todays high 104˚ tomorrow 105˚, before heat index.

Good morning all, 70 going to 93 with fog then a 20%chance of T-storms. Got up late and had some quiet time, took trash out to the curb and worked in the garage a bit and remembered Good Morning. Had a quiet day yesterday and hope to get some work done in the garage. We will see.

Hope and pray everyone is doing better and does not get to hot. Have a great day. Ed

 

[txdon]

Ed, show us your first project. I have no knowledge of what a mill can do or make.

 

[toppop52]

76 going to 95 with lots of humidity. Going on a cruise to Tangier Island tomorrow. Hope the heat breaks some.
Prayers for all.

Good morning all,

70 going to 98 with Heat Index of 105.

Well yesterday was fun. With the heat and humidity, I was in full sun mode working on the run-in. Actually burned my butt, well right above the butt, across my lower hips. Made the mistake of taking my shirt off, which was soaked. As were my pants, socks, underwear.... you get the picture. Drank 10 bottles of water and four gatorades. Yes, it was hot and humid. LOL.

Guess from now on I need to - keep pants up, keep shirt on, or use sun screen. Or don't do projects anymore, especially those requiring bend-overs. LOL.

I never burn, but then again, my lower, lower back don't usually see the sun.

Got a lot done, almost all framed out now. Just need to frame up the floor and work on the roof pitch.

Other than that, I watched the grass wilt.

Have a great day all, be safe.

Good morning.
Another hot day down south. The AC systems now run incessantly.
Had an eventful weekend. My cousin came in for a visit. Lots of food and fishing. My friend gave me a couple wild pigs. There are few things more American macho than barbecuing a wild pig on the weekend of the Fourth.
On Saturday, had to come out and help bail out a boat to keep it from sinking. A young father, an inexperienced boater, took two sons out on the lake and their new boat was taking water. The children were scared out of their mind. I learned two things:
1. An inexperienced boater should never take a child out on the water, let alone two.
2. A chocolate cupcake can calm a panicking child in 30 seconds.

I also dug up my rainbow eucalyptus tree and turned it into a bonsai. I planted it 1 1/2 years ago. It grew to 10 ft tall but then died back from the hard freeze last winter. I decided that I don't want to keep nursing a tree through a freeze anymore so I turned it into a bonsai. That way I can take it inside when it is too cold.
