@Rockhead,
say hey to DadPad if you reach Down Under and tell him we miss him Wink


Good luck, and hey to Mr VW and his monster grasshoppers. Will tell you the same as Boida - do drink plenty water.

@Izzie,
we didn't go that far.

32 feet is just about right...

we got clear cold water after the mud got done spewing.

learned something new today, as I pulled some of my houseplants inside for the duration of the drought.

grasshoppers think chiflera is candy...

it's scary how many leaves aren't anymore. I could almost hear them chomping as I walked up. I sprayed water on it, and a swarm of the little bastards abandoned ship...

I replaced my broken (1 week old chinese crap) sprinkler yesterday, and the garden already looks thankful.

my water hyacinths have started to bloom in the pond, and my big tropical stuff is getting lush...

the guppy population is over 500 by my best estimate. in the fall, they will bring a quarter apiece. (if I can catch them)

holy fish farm, batman...

urf.

the one day that goes away from forecast, and I'm wonky...

been moving the sprinkler a lot. it's cloudy, but I don't see it raining.

don't care, it's not scorching...

gonna take smoky to see the kid. they moved him again. further yet from us. at least there is no place in the metro that would be further than this, so it has to get better...

if I feel better when we get back, I got everything to try and make homemade chocolate chip cookies that are safe for me to eat.

we'll see...

We are projected at a hundred or slightly above that all this week. If it got to 108 I would have to find an inside project or stay home from work.

Me, too, Rock.

It's so dry in Texas that....

The Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling,
The Methodists are using wet-wipes,
The Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks, and
The Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.

Well I'm hoping for much more than that for you, Rocky.

Fingers crossed.

What a hideous, cruel & relentless summer you've had so far!
