Is it Christmas yet?

I hate summers. I really do.
If you find some one that likes them, they probably don't work outside.
3 days in the 108F range and I'm already looking forward to winter.
Typically we get 36 days over 100 and the good thing about that is we typically don't get 37.
Today started overcast and cool which is unusual, but it didn't last long. As soon as the clouds cleared, the temps rose dramatically.
With power rates through the roof and the Congress with our fine elected Messiah wanting Cap and Trade signed, I suppose we will start looking for even higher rates.
The bird cage misters have been on for the last few days and the cats don't move much.
The dogs? pfft...nothing slows them down.
Work is still slow and talking to other contractors in the area, I'm not the only one going through this. Nobody wants to spend money.
Even the State Project tomorrow has been delayed due to a shipping error. I'm told they have the money for this project so maybe I won't get a IOU. If I do my State Tax Return will say IOU2.
I did get word today that the Health Center wants to go ahead a start the design work on their Emergency Backup Generator project. That will take some time to start though.
I also was told today our big project for the year starts in 30days. So I need to pinch pennies this month and make it to ground break.
Maybe I'll just become a bum for another month....
If I had some money I'd be up at the Casino using their AC and having a great time, but Heapum Redman very greedy.
So much for blaming the Whiteman for the same thing.

  1. I'm not a fan of 100+ temps, but I'll take them over the other extreme. I vividly recall installing siding on a house when it was 20 below zero and blowing snow. Hitting your thumb with a hammer under those conditions is about the same degree of pain as passing a kidney stone.
