Today has begun just like yesterday. Solid low cloud cover, variable winds mostly from E & ESE, dry but punctuated by occasional light showers. The only place any water is puddled is under the eaves of the house.
Looks like the coastal counties are getting the most rain but not much there if the sat and radar are indicative.

I'm in Brazoria county and so far we've been spared. We have had some rain and I'd be ok if it stopped right now. Most of the big storms are splitting and going around us. Still have today and tomorrow to get through so who knows what's yet to come?

We got a cloud burst for about a full minute yesterday evening, but got final rounds done right before it started....it will be "instant" humidity when the sun hits it this morning...I need to get field 2 cut ahead of the coming rain on Wed/Thurs.
Joe be careful over there....there is a very fine line between heat exhaustion and heat stroke....the lack of sweat is one of those signs and once the heat touches ya....it doesn't take as much to get ya the next time either....I speak from experience, so don't push it.

Told my doc at the VA that I'd stop drinking completely. Even though I maybe had 1 or 2 mixed drinks a month, he thought that was too much.
Really?? Is that because of meds or medical effects? Seems to be a minor amount. No fun left, sometimes.
Dang, you guys are dry there. Sorry. We have had rains that have kept things growing. Of course, here we are coastal and get the spells of drought, spells of storms just like ya'll. Right now we are humid and hot. Early mornings really nice generally, then head for cover!

I think he's just a teetotaler and doesn't like folks drinking. It's mostly because he wants me to lose weight and drinking doesn't help one lose weight. I've tried to explain to him that the amount that I drink is not a real contributor to my weight issues.

My cardiologist and the 'lung' people told me the same thing in 2015 and I did quit..completely. Lost over 50 lbs in the following year and 1/2 and went from size 40 waist back into size 36 jeans and I better not forget my belt even with those.. But, I don't eat much either.

Well, sold 2 more wethers today. Going to let CM (Moose) go, along with either one of Dot's boys or the boy from April I had originally planned to replace moose with. Haven't really decided which one yet. The buyer is local here and doesn't have a trailer so asked if I could deliver them. I said sure. He's finishing up an enclosure for them and I'll deliver them Saturday after they have breakfast. Took a bit of a discount over asked price and not being compensated for the delivery but he was originally only going to buy one. When I asked if he already had goats so Moose would have company he said he would be getting 3 or 4 more in a couple of weeks. So I sold him a 2nd one. He has 20 acres he wants to put goats on to clear. I'm guessing he doesn't care about breeding or milking. Anyway... I'm OK with it. So, I'll have one more wether available and if he doesn't sell, he'll be winter freezer filler. I'm keeping the biggest one as the last to go, just in case.
Kinda graying up here and really damp/humid but no rain and nothing on radar. Sure feels like it wants to though. I think Mel really wants to be inside the house too. Can't say that I blame him.

Glad that you are getting some sold. One for the freezer is a good (and tasty) idea! I bet Mel would rather be inside where it is cool! Trip came in awhile ago for his "nap". He had been working hard, barking at the howling coyotes. About 15 minutes and he was ready to go back to work.

Then he got outside and said "Dang is it HOT out here, maybe better to extend the nap until the sun gets low".
