"they" are the 2 guys that took today and tomorrow off.

I didn't really believe them, and like Pete said today wasn't that bad with the breeze blowing

Aaron, the idea of being on/in a kayak that is hovering less than an inch above cool, relieving water...well...that just sounds terrible. I would prefer jumping in the water directly.

Had a nice ride through the woods on the bike, then a dip in the pool afterward!

F that noise.

On my way home from work I passed one of the Cella Bros. tractors with a loaded wagon heading back to the farm. I was going to stop and say hi since I hadn't seen the one kid I used to work with who was driving the tractor in ages then decided the chances of me being suckered into throwing hay were too high.

in other news james' 7.3 is pushing 650hp, and he took second in the 10,000lb class at goshen. apparently he needs a bigger turbo, with the 74mm his drive pressure is at 50+ while boost is 45. he said he has an 80mm but it needs a different housing to make it t4.

hilti is awesome but if you are not using it every day you shouldnt afford it.

what you need to figure out is how much distance you need, then buy the cheapest one that will still shoot far enough.

Wow, that would be pretty impressive to see!

I never minded doing hay, no matter how hot it was. It's normal to sweat while doing hay.

Yeah, it was a better part of $2000 for the Hilti. I only need a hundred feet at most, but mostly under 30'.
