The Good Day All Thread

Morning all. Another 106, maybe 107 today, a drop to 99 a couple of days later this week then back to 100+. The drought tolerant plants are beginning to question the sanity of trying to grow in north Texas. And my yard is in day 44 of no rain.

On a brighter note, I was talking with the job foreman after they very gingerly removed the sidewalk between our fence and the crepe myrtle tree and our driveway won't be unusable for as long as we thought. They had to change their plans on that part of the job since this is an old neighborhood with many elderly residents and several of them have home health care nurses who visit and they can't get to their houses. And I think the fire department might have had a talk with them cause he mentioned fire trucks and ambulances having a difficult time getting to emergencies....for the same reason.

 

Good morning all. Cloudy this morning, at least there is that! 106 again yesterday, but just 100 today...you know at these temps a few degrees lower really doesn't mean all that much.

On a funny note, I looked out the front door yesterday afternoon to see three of the construction guys standing around looking at something and talking.....the thought ran through my head, "I hope they didn't cut our water line". Turns out that is just what they did. They spent the next hour repairing it. Randy called the city to tell the engineer, Brian, turned out the construction foreman had not reported it so we figure the city water crew should be out here sometime today to check on their repair work. Next time I see Jason, the manipulator of the big back hoe I will have to razz him about it.

 

Good morning all! Nice day we had yesterday weather-wise Allowed us to get a lot of work done so there will be more of the same today.
I've realised that my daily updates have turned into weather reports
Have a great Wednesday all!

 

Good morning all. Okay, not really good considering the temp yesterday was 106 and no rain in my neck of the woods. But the high temps are only supposed to be 100 for the next week. Typically by the end of August our high temps would be staying the in 95 deg range.....getting ready for fall...sometime in November or December.

Frank, this time of the year the weather is only thing I have to talk about but since most of what I say can not be said on this forum I have to tone it down a bit. This dry spell just became the 6th longest in the 110 year history of weather record keeping in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The longest one on record is 55 days, we are only 15 days away from that and seeing as how there is no rain in the two week forecast, we could be in 2nd place or tied for first by Sept.

 

Good afternoon all! Our temperatures may get into the twenties today, fantastic eh It certainly feels fantastic to the farmers. I just came from the fields where I hand-turned some round hay bales to prevent them from slumping under their own weight and to help them to dry out a bit more in this sun. That's a job that's guaranteed to zap ones energy I think turned around 120.
Have a top Thursday all!

 

Morning all. Just another hot and dry day here, next weeks high temps have been officially forecast and they are the same as this week....99-101. I really hate the month of August.

 

Good morning all! Beautiful day yesterday, best day all year. I would think quite a few people would have got a sunburn, seeing as how us Irish tend to think we can withstand any sunny days I have my suncream on though, learned that lesson too many times before.
Have a terrific Friday all!
