Coffee anyone ?

[canesisters]

Nearly ready to stop for lunch. Chugged that free office coffee so fast I don't remember it. Glad to be off again tomorrow. I'm not sure WHAT I actually DID over the weekend that has me so worn out today.. but I'm thinking that there will be at least 1 good mid-day nap already on the schedule for tomorrow in preparation for the 2-day shortened Month End process Wed-Fri.

Bottoms up everyone! Midweek holidays make for loooong work weeks.

Having a cup of milk for 1st break. It's 82F and 81% humidity. I think I should just wear my swimsuit at this point.

I have SERIOUSLY considered doing that but I was afraid of the acres of skin exposed to the mayflies and horse flies....

Those predicted storms are here!! Holly cow!! WINDS! 50mph....lightening S and N of me hope it stays split up . Friend and I canceled our plans for dinner tonight. She's lost power, 15 miles away. So far, good here and hope it stays that way! Rains coming now. Severe level 3 of 5 predicted here.

So glad I got all chores done 1/2 hr ago. Now all animals tucked in barns, tummy full, milking done, laundry off lines, vehicles closed up. Now, just hanging out.

We got a strong breeze, dark skies, a short little shower that didn't amount to much after waiting for the "severe storms they predicted"..... still more possible... but I am not sorry with having hay down... looks like they got it pretty hard a little south and a little north...

Hope you don’t lose power @Mini Horses .

Blowing out fast....storm stayed split up, here. Big storms on radar, S of me in NC. Moving E fast, out to coast/ocean. Think it's gone beyond some light rain later being a maybe.

VA Beach got pounded with rain. Surf was bad! Lifeguards exceptionally busy. Tomorrow supposed to be lovely and hot. Tourists will be happily sunburning on the beaches, waiting on fireworks. hoteliers happy. Good business.

Happy July 4th! I will watch the fireworks show on TV tonight.
Coffee is ready. I slept like a rock last night. I sure needed sleep. I’ll go up on the roof to lay out the radiant heat barrier and 2x4 lath. try to get as much done as possible, quitting time will probably be around 11 or 12.

 

[Mini Horses]

Hot tea this morning in the mood. Yep, any fireworks show will be TV, probably in AM

Oh, wow, did we get rain! Just shy of 3" way more than 1.5 thought "maybe". Came in waves over several hours....I slept thru most. But things are very wet out there. Soaked!

Means I won't be doing any farm work today. Just feed and milking chores. They say it'll be mid 90s later -- I'm guessing humidity will be more than that how can it not be.

Can I have some of that 3" of rain. Most of the storms for a year and a half now have stopped just short of us or split around us. It's looking like the same for the next few days. If we get a 1/4" or less it basically evaporates and doesn't do much good. I think February was the last time we got 1"+ more than once a month.
Have a great Independence Day all.

It's The Fourth of July ....
.................................................................Happy Independence Day

Coffee downed, stalls cleaned, road blown, chickens fed, more to do.
And - it's back - the BYH emails - holey moley - it's been gone for months and now its back. Ya'll make me
feel like slug -- you're all sippin' and chugging coffee while I'm sawin' logs! Damn time difference (must be why @Ridgetop is movin' to TX -- to be in an earlier timezone - though she gets so much done anyway cramming 48 hrs of work into 12 hrs )
