	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...
