Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[baymule]

Coffee is ready. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast!
Going back on the roof. I laid down 2 lengths of underlayment yesterday. By 11:15 I was toast. Sweaty soggy toast. I rolled the tarps back and secured them. I have 1 more plus the last up at the top, which will go over the top to the other side, so 2 more.

I'd like a cinn roll about now. Heading to TSC for a few more T-posts. Then WM across street from them for dishwasher pods . Can't believe I used last pkg and hadn't bought more.....maybe a sweet roll will jump in my hands while there

Truck parts coming today...hope it's THE one. miss my truck and need to make a feed run. Also need to take goats to sale next Sat, it's gotta pull the trailer!

Yeah, truck ac works! Car -- well, remembering there was a part leaking, no freon, so...no AC and it's summer! Yeah another $$. can't win. A conga line of issues.

Couple fence fixes before too hot...thanks goaties for making this chore....then inside for a few hours. We have had good rain this month -- a REAL plus!

This is the actual temperature at the farm, 102, that's not the heat index/feels like temperature of 115. This is all crazy talk! Lord have mercy!

Humidity added in the mix is very unpleasant

My dogs got me up at 5:15 this a.m. I fed them, opened up doors and windows to let the cool air in, and went back to bed until they were barking very serious like. It was my 7 - 11 a.m. Big A delivery right at 7:10.

Meds for the old dog and a new 100 ft hose. My new exercise is dragging hoses around the lower pasture.

This is bessey, she's a hefier. Farm babe said she believes bessey is sitting on the nest, I believe her.

This is romeo. Farmbabe said he's definitely a bull, I believe her again.

It's all natural born instinct, cattle being cattle.

We got RAIN and 60 mph wind. This was blocking my way to go to town on the road less traveled (shorter). so I had to use the road that is more traveled (longer).

I hope cattle like pears because some got shook loose from the trees and are laying on the ground. I'll pick them up after church tomorrow. Probably best this way what's left on the trees will grow better. Also have a few big hardwood limbs to cut up.

Very thankful for sky water

Coffee is ready. I woke up at 4:00. Getting daylight now, I need to get chores done before church. Tired from yesterday. Stayed on roof until 1:30 and it was HOT. We took lots of water/lemonade breaks. We didn’t quit until we got the last roll out of underlayment on the roof. Had to replace a piece of OSB with plywood. It feels so good to have gotten this far.

I’ve ordered radiant heat barrier to go under metal roof. I have a partial roll leftover from the sheep barn in Lindale, so I can get started putting it down. Got to get 45 ten foot 1x4s for lath. I pick up metal on Friday. I want to have the front side of the roof ready to put metal on by Saturday.

I’m sore and tired. Can’t stop!
