When I start whining about being cold next January when it is 20 below somebody remind
me of how tired I am right now of these 90 + temps that are hanging on so tight... ;-)
Last year we never hit 90. This year we have had about 10 of the last 12 days where it
has been 90 or above and a bunch more before that. I am really getting tired of walking
around soaking wet from sweat. The hu-muggity is staying up around 75 to 90 % with daily
attacks of 100% (rain). It has already rained once today and looks like some heavy stuff
coming. I was mowing at the west barns about a quarter mile down the road and when a
sudden rain hit I just drove to the open face tool shed and drove inside and parked where
I could see out. About the time the rain slowed a bit I was thinking about shooting out
of the building toward the house then I heard it coming again but with bucket sized
drops. I waited... Then above the clatter on the tin roof I heard a tractor running. Down
the road came a fellow I didn't recognize driving an open backhoe outfit. He looked a bit
like a drowned rat. He waved as he passed and I held out my hands palms up like I was
feeling for the rain (I was still in the building) and he laughed and hollered that it
had quit and that I was safe... :-) The whole farm is rapidly turning into a rain
forest...
