Another lovely day in Oklahoma. . .

Entre nous!

I had to google this.. Is the RUSH component foremost?

Haha, no but I do like Rush (especially some of the later stuff.) Just means "We'll keep this between us"

...no theme park tickets, just DD and me for a long weekend of good food and drink.

I heard there's a new drone show at Disney Springs. A non-park trip would be the perfect time to check it out!

 

[NFLDERS]

The sun has been in short supply, unfortunately the rain has not. So the chicken coop is progressing ever so s.l..o...w....l.....y!

 

[NFLDERS]

The humidity is oppressing too. Our youngest son pitched in to paint.

Your chickens will have a very nice coop!

 

[NFLDERS]

We have been acclimating the chicks to the coop, and didn't think the pups would react so sadly, moaning with snouts out of joint!

 

[NFLDERS]

Kwak! Kwak!! KWAK!!
Translation: From the other side of the coop door; Free ME!

It's only 52F ish here. Tomorrow promises a 80ish.

 

[NFLDERS]

I'd be remiss if I didn't show the Pups.. the enclosure is about 40' from the chicken coop. They have been watching the acclimation. Hopefully, once less attention is needed for the chicks, the pups will be happier.

Kwak! Kwak!! KWAK!!

And you're certain they're chickens???

 

[NFLDERS]

Oo

And you're certain they're chickens???

Oops! That should have been Bawk! Bawk!! BAWK!!!

What a construction operation, Jane. Looks like a great coop.

Here by us, the cicadas are starting to phase down some. I doubt I'll be here when they return 17 years from now. But, who knows?

81 here in Cincinnati but getting hotter as the week goes. Broke down and turned the AC on a couple of hours ago.

I'm in Niagara Region of Ontario Canada. We are under weather advisories with our heat wave next week.

We got out the fans today and put in the two a/c window units we have. Temps are predicted to be in the upper 90s on Wednesday and Thursday, 88 on Friday. Here's the catch: The motor for the air handling unit at work is dead. HVAC can't fix it. We are going to have no a/c for 10-12 WEEKS and then it'll take several weeks to install and get up and running. Airflow to the hoods in the labs is minimal, and of course the building is already uncomfortably warm. No lab on Wednesday or Thursday, and we are talking about canceling Friday's lab. I am also starting to worry about fall. The first few weeks of September are often pretty hot here. It's one thing when we have 13 students, quite another when we have 200. I'm thinking we might have to start the semester remotely, or in a hybrid model at the very least. Hey! At least we have experience in this, thanks to the pandemic! Right??!!

Well that sounds miserable. Is it your decision to go remote? Why is it taking so long to get a new system installed? I say you start asking questions and maybe pound your fists on the desk!

I hope you're still here, Micca!

We're 93 with a heat index of 102 right now. I have to go to the barn daily for the next week or so to tend to a horse with an injury, so this heat wave can go kick rocks as far as I'm concerned. I think we're supposed to hit 97 so I guess it will feel like 106 or so before the day is done. This is typical for July and August, so a little early start this year.
