Pellet heads!! What's up today?

It has been great here too 54 this morning my daughters were up from NC for a few days ,we had a nice visit drank a few Beers . They headed home today house is quiet now , having a few Then gonna catch up on some of the sleep I lost when they were here

 

Tell mama to remember being a kid...we didnt care if it was a little chilly....let 'em have fun

 

You could take a swim in Lake Michigan. According to the news, the water temp at Holland State Park was 43 this morning. The north wind upwelled a lot of cold water.

Water that temp will make something pucker, that's for sure.

 

Or this might happen

 

My wife ran the stove two evenings ago. It was in the 60s outside and damp inside. So we had the stove going and the window open. Took the dampness out!

 

The only time I've had a fire in the summer was in August 2009 (the summer that never was). We had a rainy day where it didn't get out of the 50s. I scrounged up a bunch of wood scraps in the barn and made a fire to warm it up a bit. It's got to get pretty cold inside before I'll make a fire between June 1 and October 1.

 

Nice but a bit humid and overcast today. Just got done unloading pellets and going to hit the bike trail soon.

 

Been a great summer here so far. According to the local metro area weathermen, July was tied for the third coldest July ever, and was also the 8th driest July every, or at least since they've been keeping records. Basically every day was highs in the mid to high 70's and very little rain. Just perfect weather. Rainy and cool today. I think I feel a nap coming on...

 

Kinda dead on my feet today. I was working in Traverse City yesterday afternoon. Didn't finish until 1:30 AM. Turns out the Traverse City film festival is this weekend and most rooms were booked. Stopped at a gas station, bought a Mountain Dew (which I hardly ever drink anymore) and made the drive home. Got home at 4 AM. A week from today I head Wisconsin for 5 days.

Today I'm sitting outside enjoying the decent August weather, looking at a few things I should do in the yard, not wanting to do them, and enjoying a couple cold ones.

 

Had 3 little showers today,just enough I did not want to get on roof,very smokey now,6 fires in state and smoke coming in from the west,may have to follow 343's lead and get the brown bottles out!

 

Where to in Wisconsin?

 

New Berlin, about halfway between Milwaukee and Waukesha. Really not too far from where I live in miles if that pesky thing called Lake Michigan wasn't in the way.

Instead I get to drive through one of my least favorite places in the USA to drive. Chicago. The trip there on Sunday shouldn't be too bad, but I'm not looking forward to the drive back home Friday afternoon.

 

The sun! It was up and out ALL day! We've had SOOOOO much rain the past few weeks it's insane.

 

If ya get bored take a 2 hour ride north, we can have a beer or 17 together...

Drier than a popcorn fart here. Way behind on rainfall and lotsa brown grass...

 

Fire danger signs here all say LOW, which is rare for CO. Not complaining (too much) but it was nice to see the sun. If winter brings as much moisture as summer did this is going to be a long one lol

 

If I wasn't going to be working 12+ hour days I'd take you up on that.

It's dry here too. I broke down and watered the backyard today for the first time this year. Only good thing is I'm back to my usual summer 'mow every two weeks' schedule instead of every 5 days like most of the summer has been.

 

Well then I'll drink your share too.
