Yeah, Yeah..I just completed 75 Orbits of the Sun

 Thanks for all the well-wishes on Facebook. Went to the Hu Hot Mongolian BBQ, and it was great, as always.

And yes, all the memes saying "I would have taken better care of myself if I'd known I was going to live this long" are quite true.

Enjoy the weekend, keep those heads swiveling, and avoid large crowds...

We Needed Rain, and WHOO-BOY did we get it.

 We received .7" in about 45 minutes. The max rate was 6.26"/Hour.


 We had water pooling in spots of the front yard, and the streets had small rivers running fast through the streets.

Thank You, Lord!

Hot, Hotter, and Hottest

 Good Gravy it's been HOT here. We've 2~3 weeks of 95+, and today it hit 105*. It was 106* in Greeley, where Well Seasoned Fool and my son live.

We went to the Larimer County Fair last Saturday, and while it was hot, there were extra sun shelters set up with misters in them. Really felt better under one. 

A front passed through Monday, and the temp went from 98.7* to about 80*.  We were hoping to get a least get a sprinkle or two (20% chance per NWS), but it just sailed on through with no payload. BUT it's was downright cool here Tuesday and Wednesday, and very enjoyable.

Annnnnd today the heat returned. It "only" made it to 91*, but the humidity has been in the 30~35% range, making it almost sticky outside. The last two weeks when it was ~100* the RH was like EIGHT per cent, which at least made it tolerable.

Hope you all have a great week, and keep vigilant! Things are getting NUTZ out there....
