To the best of my knowledge, this outfit is in Kansas. The product, while having the same name as what you can buy over-the-counter is actually an institutional product (sold to hospitals and nursing homes).
Hasta la bye bye and catch ya on the flip flop.
Yeah... lightly off and on all day, but most of the clouds are in hiding at the moment. High of only 73 again today. but right at the moment it is already 20 degrees lower than that.Raining again, Rich?
......................................
Looks like tomorrow may not be much better.
They were calling for rain today and I was PRAYING for it....No Dice
Maybe you could hire a Navajo or Hopi to do a little rain dance...
They're prolly already doing um at some other locationMaybe you could hire a Navajo or Hopi to do a little rain dance...
Went from two job everyday to no jobs tomorrow, one guy backed out of a deal and the other can't make it here until next week, claimed his brother died.....so I'll work on taxes tomorrow.....and a million and one other things
Now that would be your best stress reducer.
Haven't been back to Faith since last week.
Well, we all have huge "to do" lists, but what have you scheduled for yourself to unwind? Don't want you to burn out.
True, but you know that changing the oil every 3000 miles is not cast in stone. I have been known to double that and the truck is still OK.
The only thing the bobcat would be used for until it snows is to move massive amounts of cow shit. It is not equipped with mowers or augers or back hoes or anything but its little bucket.
Thats what I was talking about....Cow Shit......True, but you know that changing the oil every 3000 miles is not cast in stone. I have been known to double that and the truck is still OK.

I will move all that in one day. But Bob can't pick up the shit inside the cow or horse barns; that has to be done by forks or shovel and wheelbarrow and us old folks aren't doing too well in that department. And I still have a zillion weeds to cut and mow and the rain puts a halt to that.Thats what I was talking about....Cow Shit......
I think the weather guessers are still promising a warm up in a few more days. (fingers are crossed) 
With the exception of occasional thunderstorms, you Arizonians are used to a fairly static air mass, which makes changes in temperature or cloud cover happen very slowly. Up here on the Prairie, we have nearly constant and radical change.
After 15 years of scratching my head, wondering how this all happens, one gets used to it, but...
...that's the part I still hate. I'd love to have a bunch more calm days. But there is nothing out here to block the air from moving quickly across all this open ground. I grew up close to mountains and they block these air masses pretty effectively. Nothing to block it here.
Today's weather report: Dark overcast all day with steady rain, heavy at times, embedded thunderstorms in evening. High temp only 60, wind 10-15 most of the day, but evening gusts up to 30-35 mph. Both morning and evening chores required wearing muck boots and winter coats.
Nother day in paradise.....
Now the crying story:
After morning chores, we stopped in the garage to fill the feral cats' food dish. Thereare were two adorable little six-month old kittens living out there, but have become sufficiently domesticated to allow us to pick them up and snuggle them. They are were brother and sister litter mates, Sam and Gidget. Sam showed up, but Gidget didn't. Lannie found her lying on a cushion where the two of them sleep. She was in a coma and breathing very badly. There was no visible evidence of injury and last night she was full of energy and playful, purring when we picked her up. I brought her in the house and held her for another hour, hoping maybe she would regain consciousness, but she never did. She stopped breathing and I took her out to the garden in the pouring rain and buried her. One more of our babies has left this world and we will never know why.
We since moved Sam into the house because he would no longer have someone his age/size to be with outside. Sam is now an official house cat.

I know that keeping your nose to the grindstone is a sign of good business practices and is more likely to generate continuing income, etc., etc., but when are you going to go see your girlfriend again? I know I am coming off like a nagging mother, but how long will Eli continue to be yours if you never see her?
She's taking care of her mother and father.....which is keeping her really busy....her father just returned from the hospital last Monday after having his prostate removed, her mother is having a knee replacement next week, and their both 89 years old, but look like their 65-70?....really incredible. So I'm not going there for that shit, and she can't come here, so all is fine.....
Ah, so even if you went there, she wouldn't have time for you........ Man, life's a bitch on all fronts.... Sigh.
Sleep well. Rain won't stop tomorrow, but maybe the day after. Yak at ya later.
Yes, all fucking day! Sometimes very heavy (lots of puddles and the corral is so muddy you MUST wear boots). High here was only 60 and right at the moment it is 50.
Now that's the description of a shitty day........Indeed........
Yeah, and it will get worse, but like you said, supposed to be warmer this coming week. I wonder if summer will ever get here...
Not sure Rich, it may only get worse, but I surely hope not. This has to be the worst summer since you've lived there???
In my opinion, yes. And I am not getting any of my summer projects done because real summer never happened.
