That's what I said. "Why didn't you just name it the Come Fall Out of the Sky from 15,000 Feet To Certain Death With Us Airline?"

I let the goats out to roam and browse this morning right after chores. They were out for an hour and 1/2 then Dot headed in for water so I herded them all back inside the fence. That was right around 10 am and it was still reasonable out at around 88° degrees. It's now 7:45pm and is just now dropping below 100° I think it got to right around 102-103. The next several days are supposed to be even hotter. I think I'll continue to let the goats out into the fresh browse each morning for a couple hours. After they're done, they generally crash for 1/2 the day. I spent the better part of the day doing the same thing... in my recliner. I have the AC set to 72 at night and 75 during the day. May have to up that a bit more to try and save on electricity during the day. I can't sleep (even worse than normal) when it's hot/warm. I need it cool.

I let both dogs spend the day inside crashed on the nice cool hardwood flooring. Mel is back out with the goats now, they've been fed and penned and he's been fed and is digging his hole deeper. Elf doesn't seem bothered as much by the heat and actually wanted out late this afternoon and spent most of the late afternoon outside. Could be because he's so small and compact. Thinking that's gonna be the operational mode through the weekend at least. Hopefully a break in the heat early next week.

It isn't as hot here but the humidity is painful. I turn the air down to 70 at night but turn it up to 77 during the day since the HVAC can't beat the heat and will just continuously run. It actually stays more comfortable if it has a chance to cycle on and off rather than non stop

It was 102 on our screened front porch today. We can't catch our breath out on it, but at least the porch keeps the heat off the house. We are in run out, feed, run back to the house, hunker down mode. LOL

Yes, it is hot here as well, about normal for 3rd week of July tho.
Did some weed eating around the yard since I didn't finish spraying there yet, mowed what used to be my garden, then took a ride on the 4 wheeler around the place to look at the cows, the pond, look at all the fences and inspect the results of some frill and spraying I did on a few tallow trees late last week.
We really need some rain but I don't see it happening before mid next week at the earliest. My eldest sister has asked me to do some fencing at her place next week and I'm not looking forward to digging post holes in that hard dry ground, but I suppose I'll have to so she can keep her ag exemption.

I guess I will just sit in the corner and not complain about the 85 degrees hot days here...

That is spring/fall weather here!

And my fall here is your winter! We Northerners (@Bruce ) get laughed at for complaining about 85 degrees hot days by y'all Southerners but we laugh at y'all when we hear about school/offices being shut down for snow flurries.

 

[Baymule]

Y'all got all the snow/ice equipment...…..we got nuthin'.

I know! I get it, I used to live in the south.
