Chivas might get me spoiled, Lou, but if whiskey is carb free, I have plenty of Evan Williams as well as some Jack Daniels around here!
Thanks, Lou! I don't mind the ice, on a hot summer day, but usually forego it in the winter!

Thanks FG19!HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRANDI!
I understand that you will be 29! That's a great age! I hear folks say "Life begins at 30", but I'm not sure if I'll ever find out.
Yes, I turned 29 yesterday.hugs, Brandi

Well it was a toasty 85*, sure it was closer to 125* standing on the asphalt!! I also found out that using a jackhammer is not nice for my lower back. After feeling better the last 2 weeks, (after 14 months of Hydrocodone), I went and done it again
BTW, we got down to around 24" deep before we started getting "cooler" earth, it is amazing how much "baking" goes on under a parking lot!.
Jim, this is the 1st time I have had to water to this degree, even in sandy gardens before. I did dig a few rows up and am pretty sure that the moles still effect me even after not seeing sign for almost 3 weeks. The trails they made under my rows are still there and there is little doubt I am fighting that. I will be on them suckers like you know what next year.
So far I really like the soaker hoses and will get more, they are convenient, especially added with the straw mulch. I dont know if I will get enough to have an official "hose array", but I will get enough to get the job done
Tried the 3 cantelopes the wife picked, 2 where PAST their prime, but one was not half bad:thumbsup: Have had better though.
Time for painkillers and an early bed, you guys do good in the heat today, sure "aint" Disney land out there!!!
Dennis,
Sorry to hear about your back. Maybe it's time to let the young'ens do it, or get a backhoe or skid steer with a hammer on it.

We got somewhere around 3/16ths of an inch of rain either Sunday night, Monday, or Tuesday. May have been more, as I only checked the gage late last night.

Well, here's some pictures of my monster tomato. Now bear in mind that Lou's tomato was over twice the size of this one, but I didn't use nuclear waste as fertilizer nor water with Lone Star Beer. Still, I'm mighty proud of this tomato because it is easily the biggest tomato I've ever grown. I think it's big because the plant only had a dozen tomatoes while the others of the same type had twice that many. I didn't thin the vine down, but it was shaded by a fast growing Sweet 100 cherry tomato plant and only set a dozen tomatoes. Also, it's a determinate type (BHN602) and only makes one crop of fruit. Lou, I pass the TBN blue ribbon to you and gladly take 2nd place.
