Colder here. What's your temp? What ya burnin?

90*f and humid as it gets without rain. Tomorrow is supposed to be worse. Common February...

 

My dashboard temperature was 96ºF today at about 3:30 PM. Who needs to burn when the weather is like that?

 

Our weather has been nothing to write home about this summer. Not really hot, and not really cold either. It seems crops are slightly behind, fruit trees and berries are having a rough go too. Our highest temp this year (I think) was 32 C and feels like 36 C with humidex. That's about 90 F feels like 98 F.

 

That seems hot considering some of the temps I have seen folks in MI and the north east post

 

Oh for sure that's hot, I was just remarking that was our absolute hottest temp we've hit this year. Mostly a bunch of 68-78 F type weather.

 

93 Degrees and 64% humidity. Not burning a dang thing. Contemplating sticking my head in the freezer. Still going to get out and mow the pasture though, as it needs it and I have to fly out tomorrow for work. It's all good, I read somewhere that pain is weakness leaving the body!

 

That's what those cross fit crazies say.

But yea I still get out in it. We have to down here in the south. I guess you could work 6am to 10 am and then like 9pm to 1am or something to be in the cool or mow all night long to be in the 70s.

 

Wouldn't that be a surefire way to get on the neighbors' sh** list! Although, I do have an awesome guy on one side of me that has a raggedy old jeep that somehow gets stuck out on the trails behind us every weekend in the middle of the night when he gets to drinkin'! Don't think he'd mind, but the neighbor on the property to the other side wouldn't take late night mowing too kindly. I can bow hunt on his property, and can scrounge for wood back there too- I'd prefer to stay in his good graces. I hear what you're saying though about behavior modification around the weather. I wash my vehicles and do the "heavy lifting" chores before the sun gets too high overhead.

 

I wouldn't really do it at my house I live at but the farm is far enough away. When I go work there on weekends I often don't get off the tractor till 9 or sometimes 10pm

 

Yea I know. In farm country it's not a big deal. If you farm you do what you have to esp if lots of rain coming and you have to get crop out or in.

I'd be on the tractor all night long if need be. I learned when my son was born the sleep we say you need is optional in the short term. Now I was exhausted but in 16 months I only slept 8 hours in a row a few times. Many nights got 3 or 4 hours broken up. And probably slept like 8 hours that first week. He was a light sleeper and a napper, didn't sleep at night really.

 

Yep that's hard stuff.

I grew up hearing my grandmother tall about picking cotton out in the fields for quarters. All the women did it she said. They laid the "chaps" under a shade tree. This was before this area had fire ants. Often they would put an older in charge she said, if they didn't keep them on their backs.

Do that now a days they law would be called!

This would of been in the 50s. Yes poor whites picked cotton too back then.

 

27F when I finished work this morning.

Had to clear the ice of the ute before driving home.
