The 2014 steamy summer chat thread

Well, it has come to be the time to move on into summer! I get to start the summer with a new job as an engineer at CEI Equipment, which is much more local to me. It will be a challenge dealing with the 9 month backlog, but I am excited to see what I can really do!

Howdy Roger. Part of my lawn is a swamp, thought I was going to sink the tractor! We need a few days to dry out.

The water is within inches of making my commute a lot longer... The good news is that it is to stay that way, not come up any more. I just got back from checking out a creek crossing on the back of the farm. It survived, but took a beating. About 1/4 of it washed off the back side, but didn't help that one of the 3 tubes got blocked off. I had to mud bog and rut bounce down and back...
