Mark, when our temps hit triple digits it gets really humid, especially after I jump in the pool. ;->
Pete, my design is a 4 wheeler, the difference over others I have seen is I am using a rigid drawbar/tongue, and a steering front axle for better tracking. The grab handle the musher holds also incorporates bicycle style hand brakes, and a drop down anchor/parking brake. The front wheels wheels are 18" and the rears 26", and the rear axle will have some suspension too.
Randy, it sounds like our spring was much the same, but intermixed with the rain was unusually early heat, it was into the low 80's in April. We have baled our second cut now, and the parts of the field we cut first are already up another 8" since the cut. We will definitely have a third cut this year, and may even have enough into the fall for a little silage past that. In our case though we don't have the ticks and chiggers, just mossies and deer flies, makes me realllly glad of the cab & A/C!! Sounds like you need a little drill rig to keep yourself busy and the cistern full.
Best of luck.

I am currently working on tieing 2 more wells into our water system and we already have the 1,000 tank in the ground. Just have to get everything plumbed together.

This thread and the pack rat thread make me awfully glad we live where we do. The hottest days have been in the 90's with the humidity not bad at all and it always cools off to 60 at night. No ticks, no chiggers, no rats, only an occasional yellow jacket (baiting helps a lot). I sure don't miss Phoenix.

What is the problem there Randy, shallow dug wells or a clay belt or shale cutting you oof from the deeper aquifers?
I would have thought that area would have plenty of water.

Yes, but you have volcano's. Everybody has something! Come to think of it, I have volcano's here too.
Never mind.

I keep forgetting about those volcanos. The rain is a bigger nuisance, at least until the big one erupts. Glad I live a few hundred miles from Rainier, that's supposed to be the next big one in these parts. As long as St. Helens keeps seeping lava it's not building up pressure. I think. Maybe I'll stock up on canned goods.

Mark, I would worry so much about a volcano erupting as I would about all the 'pests' South-West of you in the next state erupting.  .
Best of luck.

Oh....they are here already, driving the property values through the roof and californicating the place. I shouldn't talk too loud. I came from there too.
And now we have West-Nile virus. Lots of dead birds, some sick horses and one human case.

At least one thing about the drought, not using up my diesel for cutting grass :s I filled the tank in the spring and it is still full. I only use it now for the manure pile. Last year I spent a good amount of time and money putting in a riding arena, and this year spent very little time using it because it is too Darn HOT. This summer really sucks. I just hope we have a cool enough fall and not a cold fall. I need to replace my roof before winter hits.

We had a real serious thunder storm go through here on the front edge of a cold front that was moving in late yesterday afternoon.
I happened to be in the office doing something and noticed all of a sudden the sunlight coming in the window disappeared. In the span of 3 minutes the wind went from 10 kts. and steady from the SSW, to 40 kts. and gusting to 62 kts. from the NNW, and the temperature dropped from 91° to 79°, it was spooky.
It broke the Bermuda High we were stuck in though, now it's 80° and low humidity, it can stay like this till about October.
Best of luck.
