Tim...one of the nurses at the clinic runs a farm with her significant other and they've been haying for about a week. She's a tiny little thing...4-10...maybe 100 pounds. She can throw bales with the best of them!!!

Happy Hump Day Washington, Tim, Ken, Steve and all the crew. Around here, they have been working in the hay fields for a couple a weeks with first cutting.

Ken, Sounds like you shouldn't make her mad. She may through you!

Good morning guys,

Managed to get a few things done yesterday even with the wind.

My neighbor came up with a part off of his riding mower and needed a little help. Some sort of adjustment device that was double nutted, he couldn't get the nuts to loose.

Today looks to be a nice day, no wind yet and sunny. Starting at 54° headed to the mid 70s.

Thus...the weekly treats...this week...cinnamon buns...and...some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I know which side my bread is buttered on.

Tim, you tired me out just reading what you did today! LOL
Yes I do.

The bigger problem is remembering where the bathroom is. Last time I was at the house in Utah I got up to go to the bathroom and found myself in the master closet. Fortunately no accidents.

Thongtastic Thursday Washington, Tim, Eric, Ken, Steve and all the crew. Looks like Sunner is getting here in my woods. Starting today near 90° and full hot sun and reaching into the 90's over the weekend.

Did I miss anything? Hehe j/k

I've been doing some lurking around here again trying to build some motivation to work on my truck. I'll be around longer this time around I'm sure.

Hope all is well!

Similarly toasty warm here, upper 80's today but a cooling trend is scheduled to blow in for the weekend with 72 forecast for high Saturday. When it gets hot in WV, doesn't that come with oppressive humidity? That's the beauty of summer here, it doesn't get muggy with humidity typically well under 25% and 7" of annual precipitation.

Yes unfortunately. Customer here is a royal pain. I keep seeing the same response for most everything I find wrong here, their answer is "this is how we do it and we've always done it this way"

And my response is"just because you've always done it that way does not make it right, you have just been lucky!"

Evening Washington gents. I do like the sounds of your low humidity. Sticky weather can really drain your energy.

Sometimes in situations like that, they have also been doing other things their own way and compensating for their error. I am just talking generalities of course but seems to be a common mentality. Hang in there.

Good afternoon, Eric, Wayne, F350Ken, BigKen,Rod and Steve.

Pretty much overcast and feels a little muggy today, not muggy like the Midwest or further East but still for here it seems muggy at 76° and 25%RH.

That fire I reported a couple days ago is still burning at almost 1,800 acres now. Wind is predicted for the next couple days, they must be worried as they are building up quite the fire camp at the local rodeo grounds. With lots of man power a road grader, Bulldozers, water trucks and I don't know what else. Anyway, to the best of my knowledge the fire looks to be about 9 miles form the nearest road.
