    Default Cool week of August

    The temps at the farm are forecast to be highs of around 80 degrees Saturday and Sunday. Halleluya! I might build a fire.

    The past few weeks have been annoyingly hot and muggy, hard to motivate myself to do much outside. I sweated my yearly allocation by mid June. I have several chores lined up to knock out this weekend.

    My dog got heat exhaustion on July 4. He apparently jumped a fawn/young deer and ran it until he was about to drop. That was scary and expensive. I can't wait for the first morning that I can see my breath.

    Yeah, either way I like heat.

    G, Charley is at even.. scratch that, 1 over, the cut might end up around there

    My father and his group played 5 days last week, age ranging from mid 70s to early 80s. I trips me out when I hear bitchy little males by birth ask me how I can play golf in that heat.

    Wednesday for some reason felt warmer then Tuesday out there.. I saw the forecast earlier this week for this weekend. I feel like droves of bitch tits will be out there because of it. I'll probably go bushhog things if it is dry enough.

    I will say having a cab tractor is nice with the ac now, but I think it's really a step up because of being able to breathe after a week of work.

    I will take any temps that don't require Gold Bond / and or Monkey Butt powder.

    I'll be bushogging most of the weekend. Last Saturday flat out sucked hanging stands and finishing foodplots.

    I have mostly those, but I'm testing out a couple new ones this year. It's probably the only thing I don't like about summer. I don't like new aged fabrics, I enjoy cotton.. but can't do it once it gets up there.

    We had a 3-4 day stretch of temps over 90 was brutal. Me and the boy played 18 Tuesday morning. Had to wear a pull over for the first 4 until the sun finally broke out.

    running dogs in the heat sucks.. The heat doesn't bother me, but it's not worth it to have a dog stroke out or whatever. I'm looking forward to the cool down...however brief.
    At least I'm housebroken.

    Our food plots looked great in June. They're ruined now. No rain and 90 degree weather are for the devil.

    The human comfort zone seems to shrink more and more every year…. So called southerners bitching about the heart gets me every time… I’m a UPS driver and work in the heat all day every day. I had a fella this week trying to tell me about all the negative health effects this heat is doing to our bodies. I was thinking you do realize that Air conditioning hasn’t been a thing for very long. Human kind dealt with it for a long time. If you just spend some time outside everyday and acclimate yourself to the heat, it’s really not that bad.
