Today, I just can't get very focused.
Perhaps it was due to the heat (and being pretty worn out from the past several days too.)
It is now raining pretty heavy and the temps have come down but it did get up to 101 F in the shade here today, I don't know what the heat index would have been though.
About all I accomplished today was installing a new bit of electronics on my main system (to control the automated valve I developed to operate the indexing valve on a CHIFT PIST system where the pump doesn't turn on/off.)
Oh and I picked cucumbers out of the dirt garden. Cucino is the variety, they are some of the best cucumbers I've ever experienced. They are tiny but very crisp yet tender. Just going up one side of the row and back down the other I got a big bow of the little cucumbers. I think we need to make some fridge pickles before these go bad cause I don't see us eating so many that fast.
Anyway, even writing today is harder than normal. I'm glad we had half a frozen watermelon to give to the ducks and chickens to help them cool down this afternoon.
All is going fine with the fish and I'm letting the 300 gallon system cycle so not much to do there for now. Just another day.
