Fried and baked, I want skin on. Not so for mashed.
I believe that's right. I'd have to check Lannie's weather book to get an exact date for the last snow.
Indeed, I love the skins, more so than the innardsFried and baked, I want skin on. Not so for mashed.
Not even sure about Flagg. Not even sure there is a "farm" anywhere in Arizona.. A few cattle ranches, but no farms. Not enough water.
Yuma has a huge farming community, but they get water from the Colorado river
I suspect Yuma's farming is (or will be) decreasing because the Colorado River has less and less water making it that far downstream. Seems to be everyone UPstream is stealing it to water their damn golf courses, etc.
True, but there is a lot of water flowing down it, doubt it dries up in our lifetime, but who knows
I read not too long ago that there is less water in the lake behind Hoover dam than ever before and they claimed they are not letting more out through the spillways.
I thought last winters runoff added a shitload of water to it
Maybe the article I read was from before this past winter. ???
So it was lower but (on average) is coming back up.
Yup....thanks to all the rain and other shitty weather up north.....
Well, I need to take my shitty weather to bed now. I am way past my old phart curfew.
Our last snowfall this year was May 5, and the last frost day (freezing or below) was May 9. Then the rain started.
Dale, I like to grow beans, but the garden was so wet, Rich couldn't till it and it was nearly impossible to work the beds because they were all mud. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't plant any beans, because they would have all succumbed to rust (a fungus) from all the wet. And peas? I love peas, but they don't grow here because it's too hot. I've tried numerous times and the only year I managed to get any tiny baby pods, I just ate them out in the garden, then the plants died in the heat. All the other years, the plants died just before or after flowering. It is just flatly too HOT here in the summer. Anyway, I gave up on peas... Prolly this year would have been a good year for peas, but my prescience wasn't functioning back at the beginning of summer and I didn't know we were in for such a long stretch of cooler, rainy weather. Go figure!

Hmmmmmm... must have just been my constant bitching about the bad weather that made it seem like it was snowing right up until June.
Looks like a LOT more rain in the five day guess.............Hmmmmmm... must have just been my constant bitching about the bad weather that made it seem like it was snowing right up until June.
Cooled off here tonight, its about 93
Just poppin' in for a minute before bed.
Overcast all day, occasional thundershowers with high winds (downrush) up to 50 mph throughout the day. Raining fairly steady but light right now. High today was only 73, but right at the moment, it is only 49 (I think that's the lowest we've had since last May). Summer isn't officially over for a couple more weeks, but already it feels like winter is sneaking in. Ah well, it'll probably be 80 again in a few more days...

I just popped in for a sec too.....have a good one, I'm outta here
G'nite amigo. I'll try to Yak in earnest tomorrow night.

Vaping Illnesses: Consumers Can Help Protect Themselves by Avoiding Tetra-Hydro-Cannabinol (THC)-Containing Vaping Products
September 6, 2019 -- Consumers are likely aware of the recent reports of respiratory illnesses -- including some resulting in deaths -- following the use of vaping products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) remains deeply concerned about these incidents and is working closely with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as state and local public health partners to investigate them as quickly as possible.
Note folks: Even the FDA, in this case anyway, is referring ONLY to vaping THC OIL. Vaping any kind of "oil" is likely to destroy your lungs, but apparently some people have such a desire to "get high" that they overlook the point that this shit might kill you.

Can't fix stupid
Potential Lack of Sterility Assurance.....lots of that shit going on lately.
The low temperature this morning (the darkest hour is just before the dawn - assuming no frontal activity, that is also usually the coldest part of the day) was 46 °F. Cloudy all day, winds around 10 mph, light rain off and on all day, high temperature this afternoon was... (hold your breath) only 56 °F!
Now the sad part: About three days ago, two chicks hatched under a Guinea hen. Because chickens hatch in three weeks from when someone sits on them and Guinea keets hatch in four weeks, I can only assume some stupid chickens laid eggs on the Guinea egg pile while the broody Guinea was off the nest getting a bite to eat. In any case, the chicks hatched and assumed the Guinea was their mother. Now if a Chicken hatches Guineas, she will assume they are hers and take care of them as if they were indeed her babies. Not so with a Guinea hen. She knows they are not hers and, in spite of the fact that those chicks will try to follow her around, she will ignore them and they will have to fend for themselves. These two baby chicks survived on their own for three days (what brave little babies!), but the nasty rain we got yesterday and most of last night, plus the cold temperature, with them not having a mommy to get under to stay warm and dry, I found them dead this morning, only a foot away from where they were hatched. I guess they expected someone would shelter them, but they had no one to protect them from the cold, so they are now gone from this world. Such is farm life.......

There was a hint of a monsoon this afternoon at about 4:00...but that dissipated quickly and the sun returned. Was a humid bastard today, but the temps were down a little, with the humidity it still felt like 105+
I have always known I would never be happy (temperature wise) in the greater Phoenix area, but having had to wear a coat for both morning and evening chores today, while it is still supposed to be fucking summer, I am harboring serious thoughts that living in death valley might not be all that bad.
...........................
I was at my mothers house this afternoon trying to dig up a dead grapefruit tree (no dice), the freaking roots intermingled with all the rock....I'll try ripping the stump out the week ahead with my truck, after I buy about 100 foot of STRONG rope. It a dwarf tree, but the base is the size of a normal tree, they graft it about a foot from the base, so the very bottom is about the size of my leg.....
It'll have to be very strong... a heavy chain might work better.
Friend of mine is in the tree business, he has some strong ass rope, but he can't get his stump grinder through her gate without me taking blocks apart, which I'm not going to do....if the rope doesn't work, I'll go back to a previous profession, Controlled Demolition....
As in using dynamite in mom's yard?
If I can rangle a blasting mat back there-----
And how many permits would you have to get to do that in town?
Just one, but I'm not going to do it anyway (just kidding), her neighbor just put about 100K in backyard improvements, if one crack occurred regardless of the cause, he'd blame me.
Sleep well, don't work too hard, BS more tomorrow.

Due to Microbial Contamination.....seems to fit a pattern.
Oddly enough, no rain since very early this morning. Nasty dark overcast early, then cleared off in the afternoon. 70ish (73?) and light winds. Got a little work done, but I know I should have done more.
