I live in the sticks in western Arkansas, and we are currently experiencing some of the most consistently hot temps of my lifetime here (today 95F with a "feels-like" temp of 104F), so I keep putting off some of the yardwork I really need to get done.
Thankfully there is a chance of rain in the next few days, so I am going to take advantage of that if we get some precipitation, as it will hopefully bring a slightly cooler front with it.
Besides not being able to spend as much time as I'd like outside, not much else to complain about. I've been spending a ton of time here in my office on the computer and catching up on some work on our FOSS projects after finishing up the daily work for my clients. Taking a few days off from client work the next few days as the Fourth is tomorrow and going to have some family coming to visit, so that will be nice as well.
Other than all that, simply ready for summer to be over! The only thing I enjoy about summer out here where my wife and I live is that we have a nice, big lake about 3 miles down the road, so we can hit it up to go swimming during the hotter bit of the year, which I always enjoy. That being said, definitely ready for autumn to roll back around - certainly my favorite time of the year. I love good, light-hoodie weather. :-)
I hit the liquor store last night and grabbed some of my favorite whiskey for this week, and plan on sitting in the air conditioning and hanging out with some friends and family, playing some guitar with them, and having a few drinks and some good food on this Fourth of July. Hope you all have an excellent day if you're celebrating, as well.
Cheers, fellow Midnighters.~
SE Missouri here. Not far from Arkansas. Similar Ozarkian weather ha. Big rain and now a humid sunny 4th. Everything soaked for the inevitable fireworks shards flaking the trees tops this evening. Hoping for no wildfires like West coast.
No guitars or whiskey here, just listening to good music sober. I'd like to be a crowd member of an Inquiry performance some day, but he is elusive in character and location, lol!
Here's to a nice Independence Day!:)
Amen to autumn as a favorite time of the year!
