Sunday.....I had a fun Sunday, I went fishing with the Hubby, we've been told by many people that they are catching their limit in perch for 2 months like crazy, so we decided to take the canoe out there and try our luck.  We fished for 6 hours and caught 30, the great part about fishing here is that I caught, in one of our passes, an enormous sheephead, the biggest one I've ever caught, after fighting it for about 15 minutes, felt like a lot longer though, I landed it and took some pictures and then let him/her go....While the hubby was taking my picture, he landed a double header, thats 2 fish on one line (if you didn't know), then we came home fileted the fish and made it for dinner, yum.  Then I updated my maps for work, since they changed a lot of the names of the roads I drive down, that was work, yuk, hehehehehehe.......

Here it is,  October 19th and it is still so hot that I am sweating through my shirt miserably.

 

It got cold for a very short time two weeks ago.   Two days of 65 degree days.      Everybody loved it!!!

 

Now,  the summer's heat just lingers on and on and on....

 

I know it will eventually get cooler,  maybe even a little cold.

But when????

 

 

Yes Dis,  that was it.

High winds and lots of particulates in the air.

Cooler (LOTS COOLER!) temps!

Hardly any clouds though.

  We had a nice sunny day out here...  Not too cool....  Congrats on your catch of the day Whammer!!!  

 

 

 

 

Hell Ariel,   that where Squeeky and I live.

It is still hot enough on November 2nd to sweat thruough my shirt at 2:AM.

The summer is,  well,  Hell.     We go through about three or four solid months without going below 100 degrees F.

Even at night the temps are still higher then 100 degrees.     (In Phoenix, heat sink effect)

Here in Ajo,  we rarely drop below 100 at night in the summer.   It does happen,  but it is usually during storms (which are kinda rare all by themselves.    We get high humidity and lighting and mostly dust storms that drop visibility down to less then ten feet.    But water falling from the sky is limited to about three times a summer.)

 

The advertising for Ajo is:     "Ajo,  Where Summer spends the winter!"

 

Right now,  Squeeky and I went to two parties friday night.      And one on thursday.

Last night (saturday) I went to the Circus!!!

 

Relax,  it was a small thing.     One ring and no top.      No animals either!

But it was fun!       I got re-hired back by the paper again.       Kinda an on-call situation.

 

When they have more events then responsible people they call me and my camera.

I don't mind.     It gives me something to do.    Like the parties and Circus.

 

BTW,  Squeeky tried the best costume contest Friday.     She was a Real Cute little devil!       Kinda sexy too!

She didn't place,  but she got more applause then some of the others!        

 

Squeeky and I are going up to Phx. on Monday for another Dr's appt.       Then one in Tucson on Friday for me.     This week I will drive over 450 miles just to go to Dr.s appointments.        

 

Almost makes it worthwhile to live in a city,  huh???    Instead of 40 miles to the nearest McDonalds or other fast food.

It is a cold winter so far.

Most of the country is in some kind of weather disentary.     Stuff just keeps pouring out! 

We finally went chilly.     I am sitting here without heat and shivering.  

Typing under a blanket.      My house has no insulation and is also very porous.

Good for the summer when I have a swamp cooler pushing gobs of airflow,  not to good for the winter though.

 

 

 

  I HATE COLD!!!!  Wow Luke...  I'm so surprised to hear that???  What temp are we talking out there for you to be cold???  I agree with you about the weather being weird everywhere though...  It started getting really warm tonight I'm guessing around 40F, maybe a little warmer, and we'll have it for about 2 days then cold again...

 

 

 

Ariel,  it was between 42 and 44 degrees last night.

Not very cold I know.     But if your not used to that it can sure feel cold.

 

I grew up in a much colder climate,  I also worked at an open air ice rink.

Many times it was 10 or more degrees below zero at the rink when I was there in the early AM.

My job was to keep the ice clean.     I drove the Zamboni for three years.

Also a little lawn mower type of thing with ice scrapers instead of grass blades.

That worked the corners down from the ice build-up from running the Zamboni

with the water on full blast all the time instead of turning it off at the corners.

 

The evening and night time attendants had all they could do just to drive the thing,

much less work ten different controls in 30 seconds.
