How'd it go today?

This is five minutes from downtown Vernon and about fifteen minutes from where I live. 90 degrees here the last couple of days 20 degrees hotter than average for this time of year. Severe water shortages are predicted :cry: . I hope they don't drain my favorite lake.
 
Cause we already do. It's one of our water sources for the city and the level of our lakes has been declining the last few years with last year being the worst. Development is running rampant here with little thought for the future. How would ya stop it I don't know. More building and annexing of land into the city equals more citizens more taxes and higher wages for the politicians who make the decision whether to expand or not. We are living in a bubble here in the okanagan which will go pop sooner or later. My house has tripled in value in the last six years, is that value really there? I think not.
 
I got the burned up tub grinder home today.

I ended up buying it back. Its rebuild time!!:D
 
Beautiful place there, Justin.

Been raining here since about 5pm yesterday. Nothing heavy, just a light drizzle. My job for today got postponed so I have absolutely nothing to do.
 
Skwerl, you are getting the same system we had all day yesterday. It is still overcast here, but the rain has let up.
 
Yesterday I had a job hauling a bunch of brush to the dump and ground 7 stumps. Got in at about 8:30, but made the most money in a day ever working by myself. Oh and I put gas in my pickup yesterday at the tune of $100.72 and it is now empty.

Sweet!


I got my second brand new computer in a week. The first one went pop! I bought some head phones and I've got Fleetwood Mac's Silver Springs cranked. I just downed a tall glass of Silk Soy Chocolate drink. The kid is at a sleep over with some of our bestest friends. The wife and I went out with my old foreman and his wife for drinks and desert.
 
Great pics.

I got 5 hours sleep in a row last night. Woo hoo! So I'm feeling pretty decent.
