Wet and humid. Occasional showers.

Fireworks frightening the local Injuns, they are keeping their offspring indoors.
 
Over 90 already by noon and humid. This morning I stacked some Locust , Ash and Hickory logs . Enjoying the heat and humidity . This is the Hoosier version of a Spa. Sauna without membership fees . Good training for future incursions into enemy territory for punitive and preemptive strikes .

Afternoon monsoons have begun . I have checked the creek to ensure there are no muslim or viking invaders and pillagers trying to sneak in to my Paradise .
 
The sky opened up and it started pouring down rain. My kids were in the pool and started screaming like little girls. It's not thundering or lightening, I guess they were afraid they'd get wetter.
 
So, are we back to Global Warming or are we still on Climate Change?:confused:

Melting Roofs, Buckling Roads, and Deaths in Global Heat Wave

(NEWSER) – A city in Oman set a heat record last week, but it's not the only place registering record-setting mercury. The Washington Post lists the places worldwide that have been experiencing never-before-recorded heat over the past week, caused by heat pressure or heat domes across the Northern Hemisphere. In North America, record temps have been notched in Denver (it tied its all-time high of 105 degrees), Burlington, Vt. (marking its highest "low" temperature of 80 degrees), and Montreal, which saw its highest temperature ever with a 97.9-degree reading. Eurasia and Europe also haven't been able to escape the sweltering; in the UK and Ireland, it's been so hot that roads and roofs are melting, per the Weather Channel.

While it's not surprising that July will smash some weather records, so many places experiencing them at once suggests something bigger. "So many rare milestones being set or tied worldwide does point to the influence of a warming world, given that the link between heat waves and climate change is robust," says Andrew Freedman, science editor for Axios. AccuWeather notes the tragic consequences of this weather pattern, reporting that at least 17 people have died in Montreal over the past week due to the heat, while in the US there have been at least three reported deaths. "My thoughts are with the loved ones of those who have died in Quebec during this heat wave," Canadian PM Justin Trudeau tweeted on Wednesday. A blast of cooler air out of Canada is expected to bring some relief to the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states by Friday and Saturday.

Oh yeah , Martha and the Vandellas . About 93 here today , I mowed the ditches , changed the fuel filter and air filter on a tractor and up next this afternoon is oil & filter on the F 150 . If Danke was here I could give him something to do too. Thurs , maybe drag another load of logs out of the woods .
 
Today I drug some more Oak and Ash logs out of the woods . Thinking of going to the butcher to pick up some pork shoulder to BBQ . Not raining now .
 
I stacked some wood this morning . Rain in the forecast Sat night through Wed morning . Everything is just starting to dry out from the past 5 1/2 months or so .
 
Started to warm up again this afternoon after a couple of nicer days . Rain in the forecast . I drug some more ash logs out of the woods behind the cottage today since everything was finally dried up enough to take the tractor up that hill . I exterminated a raccoon at the hen house this morning . If Danke was here I would tan that hide and make a little hat for him .
 
Rain again , yesterday , today , tomorrow . Nice and cool out for a change . Feels good.
 
Raining hard this morning when I headed out to the feed lot . If Danke was here he could have offered to hold an umbrella for me .
 
I should probably mow the ditches on the tank trap today . I like to keep a baseball field like lawn on my field of fire for the only likely invasion point on my lands . It is easier to keep an accurate body count from a safe distance on a nice lawn .

Slows wildfires, too.

We're having a week below 90. I don't know what we did to deserve it.
 
Rain in the forecast next six days or so . Sprinkling out now . I would have liked to have been able to get the rest of my ash logs drug out of the woods up off the ridge maybe 2 to 4 more trips and I will be done this year . Maybe in Aug . , I want to have it done before Oct.Things are dry now for first time all year really .
