Hope you all have a way to keep cool!!!

nope only in the mid 90's up here today, the humidity was close to that though, so I spent all day in a swather cutting hay. but of course the A/C compressor blew up in it so it was a glass oven all day.

Happy Monday everyone.

The wife & I are heading to Sedona for a few days. We have to enjoy the quiet time while we still have it. So, it's time to blow all of my Hilton points and get away from the extreme heat.

Have a great week.

Yeah, that's exactly what we do. It creates a chimney effect, to some degree, but the machinery is so hot, it doesn't really cool down too much. It may drop down to 105* or so.

It's only 6:30 and it's already 107* up there! Gonna be another warm one, I'm afraid!
