This job is almost all fabricating, and welding, and about 80% is on the top of grain bins, and his elevator. Not for the faint of heart either! Fire danger, explosion danger, and falling to your death..................

This job won't start till about Sept, have to wait till after harvest.

Well its nice and warm and overcast here.

At the start of June, we were like 5" below our normal rain fall for this time of year. Since the 1st, thru today we are 5" above our normal rain fall.

So in one word, WET!

Haven't had any rain in over a month. We only get about 8-9 inches for the whole year. The grand daughter is here for a week before she heads off to Germany for a year, and the rest of the grandkids are out playing on the 4 wheelers, and dirtbikes. Wife just put some Elk burgers on the grill. Just another day in the desert!
