Southern Wisconsin weighing in: I’ll take this temporary heat - we needed to dry out, too! 12” of rain BEYOND what was normal for June this season; it was brutal!

T-storms moving in Friday night, a cool and sunny weekend ahead.

This is the year my A/C went out, of course - but we’re surviving with fans and a small window unit up in the bedroom. I’m fine with the heat if I can sleep at night. :)

Out to finish mowing...started last night in the cool of the evening until the ‘skeeters chased me in!

Was in Wisconsin in mid-June for our son's wedding in Oostburg (north of Milwaukee, just south of Sheboygan) and I noticed all the fields that still hadn't been planted yet because they were too wet. That included our daughter-in-law's grandfather's field that normally was planted by then with corn and it lay fallow due to being too wet to plow.

I visited your fair state last week, we took the kids to Wisconsin Dells, spent a small fortune, got sun burned and walked my old legs, practically off. At the main water park, I convinced my 14 year old daughter to stand under the giant bucket of water as it tipped over. When the mass of water hit me, it focused mostly on my back, the force pulled my trunks almost off of me in the back. I grabbed them quickly and pulled them up again.

Is there anything sadder than a 68 year old man mooning a thousand people? The rest of my family is still teasing me about it.
