[AT] List up and running?

[Indiana Robinson]

After a long period of what seemed like constant heavy rains and flooding
we finally have some dust here in Central Indiana. The thermometer seemed
stuck at 90+ for many days / weeks but at least it cooled down decently at
night much of the time. I was trying to do some roof work on the house but
it was nearly impossible... At one point I took a thermometer up there and
in the sun it shot up above 125 degrees. Some clouds finally moved in and
it dropped to about 110 degrees. I could only work a short time and had to
come down for fear of passing out. I don't bounce well... I finally got a
tarp installed (not blue, I hate seeing blue tarps except over immediate
storm damage) and said that I was waiting for cooler weather. It appears
that it is arriving now and for the rest of the month. It's still calling
for 80 degrees plus but I can work around that.
The areas around the horse shelters were nearly foot deep mud and rarely
firmed up much. Now they are dust. The grass parts of the lots are growing
great but are rough to walk or drive on due to the tracks having been so
deep late in the spring.
