I probably drove right past it, I'll have to stop next time I roll through. I was on my way from Kittery, Maine to South Lockport, New York. Took about 10 hours I think. I think it was highway 9 I took all the way across and it turns into 7 at the border if I remember right.

Good morning Washington truckers!

Unfortunately, it is really smoky here this morning, 80° and 30% RH at 0930.

Ken, I'm going to guess that 95° and 75% RH is going to be worse.

Good evening Washington, Tim, Wayne, Ken, Nikolas and all the crew.
Sorry so late to drop in but a tooth ache will make you rethink your entire day!

Tim, take my word that Cody Wyoming at 105° and 12% RH is far more tolerable than 80° at 75% humidity.
The first time Becky and I went to Wyoming to see her brother in July. It was an average of 100-105° and 10-12% rh while we were there. We left 75-85° and a sweltering 75%rh. We very comfortable and had to drink a lot of water!

I've been in the Phoenix area at 114* with less than 20% RH...easier to breathe than 75% RH and 95*.

Evening Tim and Ken. Just plain too humid here. I fiddled around in the garage with some air fittings but not much else. Oh yeh, I did have to repair my tomato patch. We had high winds last nite and it snap oof 6 of the wooden poles I had supporting them. I had to drive steel supports in next to the broken poles and tie them to them since the poles are all interconnected with the string. It didn't really help the plants too much. some of them look really beat up now. hopefully they straighten out as time goes by.

Good evening troopers,

I got my 3D printer in an enclosure today, I'll try and remimber to get a photo afterwhile. And after all that Maria excused me of just playing around.

Anyway I did do a little work outside today, Maria did a bunch of timing plants so I hauled it all up to the burn pile.

Had to go to town for some irrigation parts, so I took the opportunity to jump in the lake and order a pizza.

It really is and I wish I utilized it sooner! Hehe.

I got tired of running around with a truck full of a bunch of jugs of used engine oil only to be told by all the part stores that their tanks are full and haven't been picked up in forever! Ugh Soo when I was on your side I picked up 2 orchard heaters and I've used those a bunch during winter or when it's raining out but not right now with the heat and fire risk.

I still have another 50 gallon tank of diesel I need to empty out and have it hot dip cleaned at a radiator shop. I emptied the passenger tank last weekend and I'll get that dropped off this week and do the other one later.

In the barn at 343am taking a water break to replace what I sweat out.

Good morning friends of Washington truckers. Wanted to share this shot of 5:20 this morning with the giant ball of fire rising, spilling its red color over the grass and refuge. The promise of a new day is always special and looks so different from the rest of the day. 66 degrees then, looking for 104 later today, and 100+ for the next 7 days. I will agree the lack of humidity is the only saving grace. I know I could never do well in the south or east.

Thanks for checking in Roy!

If we could have spring time weather all summer that would be great!
