I'm convinced cats like to hear women yell . Cat walks on shelf starts knocking things off and the wife yells at it , cat looks at her likes she's stupid and continues to knock stuff off . Wife yells at me to do something . I raise my voice and cat disappears because it knows it's about to get sent to flight school . Wife doesn't get why cat defies her . :blink:
There's some truth to that.

went and put gas into my van ( 33 gal tank) and "thought" 40$ would pretty much top it off... I ended up with 16 gallons and still have a 1/3 tank to fill... I had to take a second look at the price ( for regular) and saw it was 2.50 a gallon... premium is floating at 3.45$ a gallon in nawlinz.... had to fill the car while I was in Pensacola and premium was at 3.86 a gallon... ouch!!

and I remember when gas was 27 cents a gallon... imagine 2.70$ would pretty much fill the tank... now it just gets you a tad bit over a gallon....

It is scorching out there, and it hasn't reached the peak yet. 93 deg F, but the real feel is 102 deg. It is going to get another degree or two hotter, and the real feel will go up too. I am on the porch with bright light, but no sun. It will suck the energy right out of you. So now and then I go in and cool off. I'd rather be in the house, but have things to do outside for now. We may get a bunch of rain soon. I just hope it doesn't come all at once.
It is too hot for the dogs outside, especially Bella. She has that thick coat, and she pants in the house sometimes. It is 78 or 79 inside now. Cassie is cool in the house, since I gave her that short puppy cut. The poor little AC unit is going full blast, doing the best it can. I'd prefer 75 or 76 in the main room, that would be ideal for me. Summer isn't even here yet. So before the weather worsens, I'm trying to do some stuff with my plants right now. I keep shuffling plants around in the sun in the morning, and at lunch I move them to bright light. Then the afternoon sun creeps in, and I move them again. I need a greenhouse with an exhaust fan with temperature control! HAHA, like that will happen.

when the wifey and I were doing orchids, we had a greenhouse with all the goodies... vent fans that were temp controlled, misting hoses for that super fine spray, the covering was Kydex ( IIRC??) it was a woven UV resistant translucent "tarp" designed to let in most of the solar spectrum minus the infrared and hi end UV... we had orchids growing, multiplying, and blooming profusely... and then Katrina hit... lost about 90% of the plants and the greenhouse was decimated... needles to say, we didnt get back into it due to the cost of replacing everything. It was fun while it lasted...

BK, I liked the post about the orchids. I've never grown them before. My mom had a couple in the past. Now she is talking about getting a new one. I don't have the right conditions for one, so I'm not going to get into them. They are gorgeous though. Sorry you lost most of them in the hurricane, that is awful.

I've never tried Bromeliads either, and my mother had one in the past. I want to try hoya (variegated) cuttings, but don't know anyone that has any. Maybe in the future I will come across one.

kkay, I hate to think what this summer has in store for us. And we are just getting started. We've got at least 3 more months of temperatures hotter than this ahead of us.

Remind me again why I live in Texas. I need to be rich so I wouldn't have to work and I could have a summer home somewhere where it's cool.

Pike in the weedbeds. Bronzebacks around the rock piles. Walleye deep. An occasional Muskie. Molson's in the icebox. Mid-summer, 75 degrees, crystal clear water, no humidity, no people, no roads, no telephones, no TVs, no nuthin'. :D
