Hard at work on the ADIX.

Unseen to my left is the author of "Where did the tracks go in the central Adirondacks," Michael Kudish, as well as the rest of our crew that day.  He's still wondering why we'd pay so much attention to him - but, gee, he wrote a book that tells about 'our' railroad!

I think I'll keep my fire extinguisher handy today.  Just in case.  Seems there's an ember or two around here that won't go out.

 

If it flares up any more, we may have to get Tree and have him pull one of the pumpers by, and pull some 2, 3/4 inch hose and drown the flames.

(5 inch would be better, but that's too much overkill!)

Muggy here last night - rain this AM, but temps are livable.

Let me grab my bear claw and tea and I'm off to my daily tasks.

 

I'm here, albeit a bit soggy & sweaty from this heat and humidity that a lot of people are having. 

 

Larry, nice avatar!!

Brian (Ia.)  Might want to keep a can of WD-40, or other oil on hand for your armor during this high humidity time.

Good Wednesday morning to one and all!  Well, we made it up to 101 yesterday, with a heat index of 110 to 115.  Looks like a repeat for the next several days. 

Coffee is on, and freshly made juices, iced tea, lemonade are getting nice and cold in the fridge.  Since it's so hot all over the nation, I've set out boxes of cold cereal on the counter, and there's plenty of milk in the cooler and fridge. 

Everyone stay as cool as possible,  and be careful out there!

Now taking roll call, to see who's here.

Joe and Lance, have containers ready for both you, for work tonight.  Also have two 2-gallon jugs of Gatorade for you also!! 

The next round of MEXICAN FIESTA is now underway.  On the warmer bar:  tacos, burritos (regular and enchilada style), Spanish rice, shredded lettuce w/tomato cubes and onion, tortillas w/extra thick and chunky salsa and con queso dips, and chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and peach ice creams for dessert.

Good Tuesday afternoon, to all.  Yes, the gym where we have the Dare to Care Produce give-away is air conditioned; but, you have to wait for someone with the door keys to show up, in order to get to the ac!!  So, I was still outside, until about 9:30.  They carried the produce inside the gym, and we gave it out inside.  

For lunch today, I've fixed a Mexican Fiesta, and everything is on the warmer bar.  So grab a plate, fill'er up, and head for a cool spot!

Also replenished our supply of ice cold watermelon and cantaloupe.  Gatorade train made a delivery about a half hour ago, so got that in the cooler.  Almost thought about putting it in the freezer for a bit, but didn't want it totally freezing and bursting all over the place.  

Hmmm, see another day has rolled around, and no word from MookieSad [:(]  Mookie, please come and at least stick your head in the door, and say "HI!"

Brian, (Ky)  Yes, It's that hot here, and you all aren't that far behind us either.

We're to get to about a 100% today, but the heat index is saying/going to say,

feels about like 110%

I think and feel like I'm more than toasted!! (start handing out the Forks, we're all DONE!!) 

 

Brian (Ia)  I'm almost glad we don't have A/C, it doesn't seem to be quite as hard  on us to go outside and do other things, and have to adjust to leaving an  A/C building.

We're getting drenched up here too- over an inch in the last 24 hours, but it's not providing relief from the heat.  It was so humid this morning that our house windows were fogged up from the AC running (apologies to those members who don't have AC).

...Yes, that much rain is wild in our dry period we've been experiencing.  Our latest rain {total}, in my rain gauge has been just  a bit over a half inch....We are still so dry here.  Yard is really taking a beating.  It usually is very nice looking as it gets fertlized regularly and I keep it mowed properly, but now....Really nasty looking with brown almost overriding the green.
