hail and 3 inches of rain in one hr still raining- flooding and power outages. extreme weather. I know off topic! Mother nature! Bob SW Indiana
Sorry... I thought you were talking about slowing down on the freeway again... ;D
Wow Bob, we need the rain down here in Fayette County Texas. They say the drought in our county matches the one in 1939. We have been feeding our small herd of cattle since last November. Bad. Hope you all are all okay.

I may sneak by during the day Sat instead of Sun !
;D BK ;D
Our average is about the same. 42 inches, so far this year I think 6 inches has fallen on our place. Ethanol BK. Is Bob a rich farmer? Yeah probably like us rich ranchers. ;D
Bob is a poor retired dirt hand /crane operator. living the simple life. Nothing new all home made. :'(
That is pretty amazing, Bob. Glad you are okay. Just watch those rising creeks ;). BTDT ;D ;D ;D
Sorry for you guys down there in Texas. It looks pretty rough. Too bad most gents down there lost their wheat (probably other crops too, but I just follow the wheat harvest).
We've had some major extremes this summer also. Sunday night we had some of the most vicious clouds I have ever seen but no rotation. A lot of my farm customers lost their crops, buildings and grain legs with the hail and wind. The storage building I rent that I keep the bus in has some damage.
We went from storms and flooding in the spring to just plain HOT this summer...
Heat advisories every day for about a week now.
Temps at 97-105 with 50-60% humidity during the day, 80-85 and humidity 60-80% during the night.
I've been doing maintenance on the bus in this heat, changed oil in bus engine and generator, replaced some hoses.
Will do some engine cleaning/degreasing today.
Working slow, taking lots of breaks and drinking lots of water is the key... I have to answer the phone and reply to e-mails anyway as my work from home "day job" requires...
