woke up took off today for many reasons but mostly because im sick. idk what but something in the air is making us sick since we cleaned out my room could be the new bed cause it's kind of dusty as well. dad went to deposite the check for the car i think. slowly on the process of getting a new car. only bad part about today imo so far is i found out i got a hernia. haven't been eating a lot of fiber so pooping was hard and likely caused it. gonna be craming my mouth with a bunch of fiber now until it gets less swollen.

slept in the new room last night and damn it felt good. had a weird dream of my mom comforting me saying something like "she is good and im going to be okay" along those lines. other then that only thing i got planned for today is play video games, relax and rest, and clean out the old room. going to move my tent in today and possibly the aquarium since my sister and her bf are off.

Good for you. I had plans to go busking at the zoo yesterday, but when I heard it was going to be mid-70s and sunny that all changed. I went for a long bike ride, my first in over a year. Went to this amazingly modern 3 mile bike path that is elevated above the street and connected to 6 parks (it's built on an old converted rail line.) Sat in the sun for half hour, played some frisbee with a couple dudes after we hit my weed cartridge, then kicked a soccer ball around with some kids that were pretty talented. It was glorious, sometimes you need to blow shit off and just play.




Btw, you are so pretty...

I'd be perfectly happy living on a beach where it's 90° year round. 105° is way outside my comfort zone.

You really would not care for where I live. In the Mojave it's 118-122 from August to October.

Luckily it is a "dry heat" around here mostly. Had an old lady tell me "Oh it must be so cool riding that motorcycle in this heat." I asked her if she ever put a blow dryer up to her face because that is what it is like.

If one more person tells me 120 is ok because it's a dry heat I'm pithing them. BTW I run my canopy at 105 from roughly July to October. Although my swamp cooler has been a blessing the past 2 years.

She is and you're a sweetie. I'm glad you got to bicycle. This time of year can be so nice. Unless you're in god's country and then it's mud wrestling.

Why, thank you, Queen Annie ;) Are you finally done with the plant drudgery? Another harvest week for me starts tonight, but the weather is going to be pretty crappy for the next few days, so I don't mind...

OMG no! This is the worst table I've ever grown. The bud to trim ratio is outrageous. The smoke is good but not stellar for this amount of work and small return. I need these seeds since I'm looking for the pheno I lost or I'd just pitch the rest in the trash can.

Hope your trim goes easier.

The heat bothers my wife too. We like to walk, but she has to go early or late. Although we don't hit triple digits all that often.

It was after 9 when I got home last night, almost 10 by the time we ate. Plus my wife has had several bad days with her legs, so I ended up staying home last night. Hope to squeeze in a make up camp night one night this week.

I chainsawed the big broke top longleaf pine between the garden and the road. It just died the last couple of three weeks. Got it to the road, along with several oaks I had cut a while back. Since I'm past the deadline, I'm trying not to put anything to the road with green leaves. But I am trying to get as much to the road as I can before they pick it up.

Planted a few orange trees down at the graveyard. Need to figure out some easy way to water. Also got a few tomatoes in pots.

I'm running Sister and Niece to airport in the morning. Sister will be staying in Denver until June, then bringing back her granddaughter when she returns.

We lived on Guam for two years, had one day it was 98 with equal humidity. My Dad was visiting from Oregon, they looked like they were melting. I was used to it and it still felt hot.

When I painted airplanes the hanger was heated to 140 degrees and had to wear tyvex suit. We had vest that blew cold air but they were always broken.

I would sweat so much that my clothes and boots would have salt stains. I would loose so much salt I would often drink a glass of water with a spoon of salt to stop muscle cramps.

I spent very little time in the tropics, but while I was in the islands, it always rained every afternoon at 1400 to cool things down.

It rained for a month and a half when we first got there, and then there were the 7 Typhoons (Hurricanes), that was interesting. We lived in cinder block houses with flat roofs, 3/4 inch shutters to protect the windows. Water still blew around the glass in the window panes and through the key hole in the back door. Looked like the door was pissing on the floor. It was kinda funny, we just put a pan under the stream.

awe you just made my day! Thank you. :oops: Sounds like you had an awesome day in the sun. I'd like to go rollerblading on that path. It didn't look like anyone was using it until the very end of the video. You can't safely ride a bike or rollerblade on the paths here when it's nice out. Too many unsupervised kids and dogs running all over the place. My day sounds kinda lame in comparison. I took the dog to a park not far from my house. It has a really cool fountain that has dog sculptures with water shooting out of their mouths. I brought a blanket with me and sat on the grass and read my book and played with people's dogs. It beats being indoors on a day like this.

this is the fountain. not my pic

Nuts to that! Can you do anything outdoors when it's that hot?

I hear ya - lived in the Phillippines for 2 years in the mid 60's, no A/C, rain for 3 months straight, unheard of humidity and some of the biggest creepiest bugs you ever saw.

During the monsoons there would be mud slides up in the mountains & occasionally you would hear an old bomb or explosive go off.
We did not go hiking while there! Lol.
