Hey JP!
Whattaya mean put my shirt back on??..This is my "Summer Shirt"!
You're right Buzz,...Its probably the chlorine that does the fish in. Its funny you mentioned it tho....just a few hours ago I topped the pond off, but this time I used de-chlorinator(first time ever)..It was some I had in a bottle i use for my aquariums. I havent used the chimenea in awhile..Dad gave it to me cuz he didnt use it either..... :)....As a matter of fact My wife and I got this for mom and dad several Christmases ago....We dont spend as much time as we used to on the deck as I dont drink that much anymore,(WE used to stay out there till 2 in THE MORNING sometimes.) I still try to make it look nice though and we still spend some time out there...Actually, if I have company, I spend all my time out there till they leave.
110,...120,....After about 95 degrees it just HOT!!!..Its the humidity that runs a person back into the house!..I cant remember if I mentioned it earlier, but it gets hotter here than in town cuz we're in a creek bottom.
hey JP,...Heres one for ya!!
When Janelle and I first got married and we just moved out here we had chickens!
We also ran around this place Nekkid!!!(just sometimes though) as the trees blocked the view of anybody within miles, we could do this!..Especially me!!!....I was notorious for walking around naked and doing stuff!(Can ya see it???)
Anyways, this one time(It was HOT!!) Janelle went with me to feed the chickens..This time though, we both had underwear on(and shoes)!
At any rate, as we were looking at the chickens(oh yeh,...we were INSIDE the coop) and feeding them, we both heard a 4 wheeler moving around...Hmmmmm....Then we realized it was PAUL!!!...And his DAUGHTER!!!(About 7 years old at that time)..She was on the back!...And they were HAULING ArSE up my trail to my place!!
Janelle went running!!!...She hit the deck so fast her feet were sliding on the deck floor like a cartoon! Paul and Audrey sure got an eyeful of this day!(I could see this from an opening in the chicken coop...I was sort of "squatting" and peeping so i wouldnt be seen..I mean, if it was only Paul, I couldnt give a hoot...But Audrey was there!!!...I thought she might "Freak" if she saw me!)
I watched as Paul and Audrey walked up to the deck....I was hoping Janelle was fixin to bring me some shorts.....That wasnt the case....
I was in the coop for about 20 minutes!!!...Gosh dang it was HOT!!!..I had sweat pouring into my eyes and all over my glasses! At this point I couldnt see with or without my glasses!!....And chicken dust and feathers were sticking to the sweat what was pouring out of me!!...Then my feet started to slip around in my "Flip flops"...I thought I was gonna faint from heat out there! My underwear was already soaked( from sweat :))
Finally, after me being in the "Chicken Sauna" for what seemed forever, Paul and Audrey left....Janelle had told them I was somewhere out back in the woods and she didnt know where...She didnt bring me shorts as she thought I would be embarrassed getting caught like that! :-D....Not me though,...I still wander around in my underwear...Janelle doesnt do that anymore though...She grew up since then.....But,...I do listen for that 4 wheeler coming though!!!
heh, heh, heh....
your friend,
