Hotter than the hinges of Hades

Today's stats:

 

Temperature: 103.0 F

Relative Humidity: 75%

Heat index: 115.6 F

 

No rain. Been like this since June. The cotton and corn is burned up and useless. My lake is down 4' and the fish are so deep you can't catch them, or even launch the boat. And it's to hot to fish anyhow.

 

BUT, the MJ has not come close to overheating at all w. the A/C constantly running full blast and I've been running all around the state hauling furniture moving the girls to different apartments at college. The electric fans / cowl hood are doing their job. Gotta look at the bright side. :brows:

Its been 80-90 up here with 80-90 humidity... Like working in sweat stew. I knew we were going to pay for that incredible summer last year.

 

Just think of it this way Don, the hotter it is, the better the High life tastes coming out of the fridge.

Gotta bleed for the farmers though this year...........

 

It has been hell for my father this year. My family is only a small operation (maybe about 100 out of 300 acres of crops that NEED to be watered, the rest are cover crops), but it has my Dad stretched pretty thin. In addition to all of the normal farm duties he has to do from 6am to 8pm, he also has to set up the irrigation rig twice during the night and refill the fuel tanks on the pumps. I think he goes to bed around midnight, wakes up at 3am to refill the tanks, and then is back to bed for a couple of hours only to wake again at 6am to start the day. We also just celebrated his 60th birthday this week...I'm amazed he is able to still keep going.
