24°C today then then high 20`s into the 30`s for the next 4 days and very dry in the Saskatoon area so the grass will be very brown by the end of this week. I`m not looking forward to this.

Yes, this heat is a bit much for me. However, the kids pool is inflated in the back yard, and I have some misting jets set up on the fence that are really refreshing to sit near. Should help.

That`s a good way to beat the heat.
With no rain insight I wish I had irrigation, everything is going to be brown by the end of this week.

Irrigation is a wonderful thing, lawns watered every morning before 6.

The world is still spinning around here 77. New owner takes over on thursday and hopefully we have a good sit down, will have 2 or 3 before we decide whats happening with this place I hope, he doesnt know what he got into so the neighbors and I will give him the history. There should be a few options for me, I just hope some idiot hasnt programmed him not to take advice from home owners and only listen to scammers and those with no brains. Hes been ripped off already on this place by following others advice. 2 more days to go. Been building fences and sheds for the hood, will have refenced my side of the alley by the end of summer, its starting to look nice, cops hate it as the hoes are losing trick spots and the junkies are losing their dope holes plus the street is coming together on chasing them off with out fear of reprisal.

It`s quiet here too and I hope it stays that way, we`re under a severe thunderstorm watch. Hopefully it misses us.

I think it's Wednesday today. Got my hands on something I'm not sure I need. A relative was getting rid of an old helium tank, the kind used to fill balloons. It's apparently 100% bled down empty, and the company they rent from didn't want it back for some reason. Maybe they are out of business, it wasn't clear.

Anyway, been wondering about building it into an air reservoir tank, since my crappy air compressor has a tiny tank. Not really portable, since it's about a hundred pounds, but could hook it up in my garage. What are some other cool ideas? Do these things have any value? If I could sell it, that would probably be smarter. Make money instead of spend money, ya know?

I'd give Oxypro a call on that one as it's not really big or convenient enough for compressed regular air. Same type of tank used for other gasses just painted and labeled for helium.

I bought a non working up right air compressor just for the 60 gallon tank and my plans changed. If we were closer you could have it seventyseven.
