Whooooie,,anybody want some of this,,,,,,,???

 Well,,,I will say this,,,,we been lucky so far this year cause it has only been touchin the 100° mark just a few times,,but not gone over the 100°,,,,untill last 3-4 days when it pulled the plug and got plumb serious bout lettin us get a taste of some HOT stuff,,,,!!!!

WHEW,,it was 107° today and they is forecsating 109° for tamarrow,,,!! I had to quit early bout 1PM as it was so friggin HOT and when the motor on my roll-around swamp cooler started to slow way down,,,I knew it was time to call it a day and come inside. Found out the local electric coop was havin trouble supplyin enough KW's to keep all the coolers out here goin,,,,,SHeee-it,,,!!

 Sure hopin them weather people is wrong bout the 109° for tamarrow,,,,Dang,,,!!!

 Naw,,Jay,,,I've heard him say too many times how he suffers from thet little ole heat they gots in Blair,,,chit he ain't got NO idea what real hot can be,,,,,I ain't been,,,"down there" just yet but this weather can come mighty close without havin the flames nippin on your azz,,,,,,,

 Right now is when a fellar needs to be visitin up where them folks like ole JC and TBone and Jay and all them lucky dudes up in the northern climes,,,,,'cept,,,they can dang sure keep their winters,,,,

 Hey Steve,,,,I just envy Ms Jo Jo,,,,say,,!! I'm tryin to remember,,,is her's a 56 or a 57?? A dude I went to school with had a 57 TBird that had the 312 and,,,,and,,,one of them very rare paxton superchargers,,,, but he still couldn't beat this other guy that had a 57 Chevy 2 door with the Fuel Injection 283 and 4 speed,,,, Then there was this other guy whose family had the local furniture store also had a 57 Chevy with the Fuel Injection 283 also but for some reason both the other guys would always kick his azz in every race,,,,,,SOOooo,,him being sorta affluent took his 57 to somewhere in Texas and had a 389 with the 3 twos out of a Pontiac installed and for a while he kicked everybody's azz,,,,till he finally got around to racing the guy with the super charged TBird,,who beat his azz yet  again,,!!!  Then the next night the guy with the Fuelie Chevy also spanked him good,,,,,,we never saw THAT Pontiac/57 Chevy in town again,,,,amazing what money will do for your pride,,,,,

DJ, juss be like ol' shameless and point that hot dry wind up here and by the time it gets here, maybe, just maybe it will not have collected the moisture and give us some nice 75-80 degree days for a month... I sure would appreciate it... Was trying to do some haying last week, cut down bout 30 acres and then the friggen clouds rolled in... an an an,,, I finally decided to start raking it, even though iti looked like rain a coming and it had dried enough... got part of it raked but got dark... next day it was still cloudy with a quick glimpse of sun for a few seconds and go back to lookin like it could rain... I baled what was raked... raked more up, baled that, raked the rest of the field up and I swear ol' Shamers was testin his machine a little bit... just hadn't put the freon in it yet... cuzz had a slight mist and then that went away ... went to the last field and raked half of it and got the balin tractor over to it and started baling... getting down to the last 2 windrows and there we had it, sprinkles on the hood that didn't quit. ... and kept getting worse... finished them and shut her down... Nuther half hour, I might have gotten the last dozen swaths raked and baled.  

  Been thinking that between old ma nature cryin and cryin her eyes out all summer, and old man winter with his special blizzards... and shameless in cahoots with them, I think it is going to be a nasty winter coming. Never really hit a hundred degree day up here this year, couple were above 95 but otherwise , the temps stayed down enough that we didn't even put the AC in this year.

 Here is a short vid of Sunday... from my 'office' when baling hay.   Windows use to have a tint in them, now they are getting a foggy cloudy look to them.   Still using the same XT and baler that we got back in 1976...   And been on the job for 42 years, wasn't there retirement after 30 years?

Joe, don't forgets to send me thet hot dry air of yours for the next month.

Chask,  What did ye say? 

 She really isn't to bad on the ears, but the old D17 Diesel with a straight pipe on her, and workin, You needed them earmuffs real bad... with the foam ear plugs in too...

 I will tell you the worst combination was when I had set the NH 717 chopper knives up real good and chopping corn with my other XT and having to have the back window open to adjust the spout... The sizzle off the knives felt like you was in the dentist chair and getting all your teeth drilled on at the same time. Yup, needed them muffs and plugs there too. 

 Joe, when are ye sendin your dry heat my way?

  I've seen more trees blown down and broke off this year since the tornado of 2001 went through here... don't need no more rain or winds for a long time. 

 OH,,and a great update from yesterday,,,,,,,I could not believe what a turnabout we had yesterday,,,!!  The mornin broke and all cloudy and first temp was ,,,,,,77° and,,,,and,,,it gradually heated all the way up to,,,,,,,,84° with just a touch of breeze and overcast most of the day,,,I kept thinkin,,chit it must be nice to have these kind of temps Most of the time,,,like most of you Northern boys,,,,, DANG,,,could I get to really like this kind of weather,,,,!!!

 UMMmmm,,,gonna get back up to the high 80's today but forecasteers is sayin Fall is on the way so low to mid 90's be the norm ,,,,maybe,,,,
