@nbbt where abouts are you located?

Must be further north

@Sawdust Man , Has the temps been typical this year.

Probably about normal I think, but I've only been here three summers now so definitely not an authority on misery's weather.
Seems like maybe it's a tiny bit less hot on average than the last two summers.... maybe...

North side of Minneapolis for the homestead, with a place a couple of hours north to get out of the city rat race as well. Hence the partial zip codes for location.

Morning fellas. Well, we got another 1.30" last night and .65" 5, or 6, days ago. Basically 2 inches in the past week.

Woke up to 65 degrees this AM and the forecast shows 80's for awhile. Hopefully, we're past the 90 and 100 degree stuff, even though it's been a pretty mild summer, compared to normal.

Had some wild wind storms and lots of hail at the guy I contract to's farm a week ago (about 15 miles from town). Several pivots overturned, roofs ripped off several buildings and lots of crops beat down to nothing.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

 

[Jetmd]

Understood.

Brenda and I spent 10 Winters in Cottage Grove, MN

We couldn’t handle the cold and mosquitoes, but that’s just us.

Rain just commenced a frog strangler fall straight down. Splashy.

River stage is just at 7’. Normal is 9-12 this time of year. Nominal ‘flood’ stage is 17’. Things don’t get tense until 20 ish.

New arrival on the farm this morning.


Tom and me sawed up 100 of them dinky logs today...took about 8 hours...





Oh, I wish I had an edger...... it'll take a full day to edge it all on the mill.....(we cut about half the logs today).

Morning everybody.

Humid bugger outside this morning.

Made it to 102 here yesterday, supposed to be 96 today....
Summer.

Heading out to destroy a bunch of puny 8' pine logs today....View attachment 385831View attachment 385832

Hit 105F here today. Brown trucks get a little hot on the inside.

Horrible.

No ac I s'pose...

It peaked at 98ish here, but the humidity is off the chart today..... maybe because we got about 20 minutes of light vertical rain this morning.

Ok, here’s when I got it home.

 

[Workshop]

Here it is this evening.

Still have the rear fenders yet to do.

Is that gray or white?

Btw Steve, there's a place online called "yesterday's tractor" they have all kinds of parts for the old Ferguson tractors.

 

[JimBear]

It’s probably Ferguson gray.

The brown trucks around here just have 255 ac’s in them or should I say 265 or 275. They haul arse here, it wasn’t unusual to see our previous driver passing troopers & deputies.

Our current driver said he got scolded for moving in the gas pump line without having his seatbelt on, apparently they have all kinds of monitors for stuff, apparently they don’t care about speeding though.

 

[JimBear]

Looks good

That is actually Ford light grey. Tractor Supply doesn’t have Ferguson grey although they are probably the same.

I’d like to find a “bumper” for the front.

Don't want AC anyway. You get acclimatized to the heat and going back and forth from AC to the heat will just make you sick. Get the job done and then worry about the cool down.

Well then I guess I've never been in the heat long enough, because I'm definitely not acclimated.
I start feeling sick after a few hours if I don't get in the ac and cool down.....but I'm not a native to the area, so maybe my genes aren't programmed for the heat...idk...

It impresses me how the locals are so much more unaffected by the heat than us implants.... some locals even seem to like it....but to me it's pure torment....
I think part of my problem is that I haven't learned to move slowly and place myself like a proper hillbilly, I still work like the devil's after me....

Prolly I'm just a heat wimp...lol.

Looks like southern MO. Is getting some weather
