Yeah, only 10,000 more items on my "to do" list and I will have caught up to where I should have been last month.Damn Rich, your making so much progress you won't know what to do with yourself.....
Buenas noches, hermano.
Catch ya later crocagator.

Email is down at the moment, so I have no notices of posts, so coming here was a wild guess.
Partly cloudy all day (fair weather cumulus) but could see thunderstorms far to the south all day. Luckily, they did not come in our direction. I got the wiring done on the cross fence and the charger is now happily pulsing down the fence. Had a little time left over after my vape break, so I did some mowing. The grass was very moist, so I'll have to clean the crap out of the deck, but that's the price you pay.
Well, at least the quail left you a dozen 'maters.

Sounds like a very productive day, Rich...!Email is down at the moment, so I have no notices of posts, so coming here was a wild guess.

I started at 6 this morning and finished at 8:00 this evening. Altho it was a decent day, I don't believe it hit 100....just glancing at the temp from the truck dash it was showing 96 on my way home this evening....that is really Strange.
I was talking to a customer in Kansas today, apparently he has been getting your rain too, claimed he never seen so much rain this spring. Said it wasn't raining today, but it was one hot humid SOB.
Don't ya just hate those 14-hour days? I haven't had to do that since I got out of management. Well, OK, ranching is a 24-hour job, but I don't have to be on-the-ball all that time.
Yup, sounds like he has the same weather issues we do. Seems there is this giant loop from Montana to Oklahoma/Texas and back up to the Great Lakes (huge stationary front) that nasty weather just sits on and runs back and forth but doesn't really move away like it should. I have been trying to figure out why it has been there so long and why it won't go away and what is it that keeps feeding it all this moisture. No answers yet.
The only good thing about working long hours today is I'm NOT working tomorrow, which is going to feel strange, since I've worked everyday since I returned from the last galavant to SA.Don't ya just hate those 14-hour days?

Wow! I'm gonna mark my calendar: "Dale is not working tomorrow."
I'll package up your chocolate tomorrow. I'm gonna send Jimi some too. Damn that is really good chocolate.
I put a piece in hot organic coconut water last night, then poured it in the blender for a froth, SOB was that delicious.

I shall be looking forward to that package with bated breath. I will have to keep it away from Lannie for the first bite, however, because she is a chocoholic (she might inhale the entire box in one giant chocolate suck).
That would be a LOT of chocolate in one sitting, the bars are about an inch think and 6-inches long,I shall be looking forward to that package with bated breath.

Oh, and about 4-inches wide.....
THAT's a BIG chocolate bar! Even Zipper (our Dober[wo]man) probably couldn't get all that in one bite (but she'd try).
Well, in that case, I'll try for the first nibble before Lannie gets the rest.

I'm sending 65% 75% and 85%, I have some ideas with it I need to call Lannie about.....have a market for a certain product here.THAT's a BIG chocolate bar! Even Zipper (our Dober[wo]man) probably couldn't get all that in one bite (but she'd try).

Well, she is the cook and brewmaster in this house, so she'd be the one to bounce ideas off of. Better PM her for best time of day to talk.
I really have to put this tired ass to bed now. Yak more tomorrow.

Have a good one, I'm heading there too.
OK, Jimi, how about I post those for you?
You are most welcome, sir. Wish we lived a little closer and I would show you in person how to do all this stuff.
As in all other things, follow the money trail. The global warming farce is only a means of taking your money and giving it to someone else. And if the truth were to be spread far and wide, no one would pay for their lies.
Me neither. While it was only 73, after pulling huge weeds in the garden, I burned a shitload of garbage and brush and was sweating so bad I couldn't see out of my glasses. If that's what it's like at 73 (with 60% RH), I'm not sure I want the forecast 90+ for this coming week.
Haven't looked at any guesses lately, but I hope there off their rockers as usual.
Me too. I really wish it would be 50 at night and 70 in the daytime with nothing above or below. Hmmmm.... maybe I should be in one of those futuristic domes...
That would be the ideal climate, which is what the mountains of EC have.
Do they have retirement homes for old pharts like me who can't seem to remember where he left his bed? Damn, I am tired after all that work...
I'm heading there too....have a LONG drive again tomorrow.....
Good night my friends. BS at y'all again tomorrow.
Today's funny ha-ha:
It was a nice day (the rapidly passing sprinkle just after noon doesn't really count), so I mowed the Bejeezus outta this place (looks a lot like a golf fairway now), but it was a bit breezy so I got a lot of dirt and grass clippings all over my body, and I figured I better have a bath tonight (you all know you should take a bath at least once a year even if you don't think you are dirty) and the funny part is that I did not close the bathroom door all the way. After lying in the hot water for almost two hours (OK, fairly cold by then), I heard a meow and Teddy pushed the door open, rushed in, put his front feet up on the side of the tub and told me in no uncertain terms to get the hell out of all that water before I drowned. I told him it was OK, but he insisted I get out. I ignored him and scraped more dirt out if my pores. He turned around and left, but before he did, Xena came in and repeated everything he had just done. She was even more insistent that I get the hell out of that water before it killed me. I decided it was about time by then anyway, so I hit the drain and slowly struggled to my feet (damn, old age makes getting out of a slippery tub hard) and started to dry off when a tiny black object (the latest kitten, Ewok) flew into the room, jumped up on the side of the tub and watched the water until it was gone. Only when she was sure that dangerous stuff was all gone did she get down and tell me that the three of them no doubt just saved my life, then she left and I decided maybe I should log onto this stupid box before going to bed. And hey, the above really happened.

I fucked up, thought I was going to a simple 3,000 sf building, but it was 13,000 sf.....slight miscalculation on my proposal, although the buyer emailed me saying it was 3K sf, so I got a good bonus for the misquoting of the footage. It was really nice today, below 100, sunny.....but I'm just burned plum out.
So both of us oldies-but-goodies are gonna crawl in the sack now? Try not to work too hard tomorrow (congrats on today's bonus) and perhaps we can get on here a little earlier tomorrow night. See ya then, amigo!
Hmmmm.... looks like it is starting already...

NWS just interrupted Hogan's Heroes to tell me there is a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING with quarter-sized hail, so I went upstairs to make sure all the windows are closed. Lightning is flashing so fast and often, it looks like the lights in a disco bar, and it is raining like hell. So much for the forecast earlier in the day that suggested we only had a 10% chance of rain. Sigh...
Rain again, unbelievable. Was decent here again today, about 100 with the usual blue sky. We'll prolly get hit with 115+ temps any day now until Nov.....
Had another numbskull from the east coast call at 5 in the morning asking about a job he needs done asap, well at least after answering the phone and emailing a proposal, I got the job, and 5 others today......
Not just rain, but the light show and the thunder is like World War 3 is going on right outside my house! Heysoose Christos!
Congrats! But now you might never see EC again...
5 jobs is five days....
TV signal lost. If I suddenly become totally non-responsive, you'll know my power is out too.
