We're supposed to get some isolated thunder storms tonight. The temp is down to 66 degrees which would be beautiful if the humidity wasn't at 95%.

That should make for some good storms though.
There was a 50% chance of rain here today, but it was about 93 all day long without a cloud in the sky and I was stuck wearing long pants because I'm required to wear them for lab. Teh sux.

Don't you just love how too much humidity can ruin an otherwise perfectly mild evening?
We could sleep with our windows open.. temp stays around mid-70s at night, but the humidity makes it so sticky in our house that it's impossible to rest.
Just thinking about cutting firewood or even a fire for that matter is making me sweat.

Big hydraulic sucker! I like it seasoned a few years anyway.. Ya, we had this fucking alpaca 6 or 7 years now, and he and I still hate each other. I mean, he does FUCKING NOTHING but slightly entertain the horses when they are let out. Fucking waste, would probably be cool if he had a good temperment, but nobody other than me or my wife can go near him-and I don't get all that near him. ACTUALLY, only my wife can go near him. (I DO let him in and out and he allows me to put a lead on him-but that is it!) He has PWNED me several times, and even broke my ankle 3 years ago. My wife threatening to leave was the only thing that took the laser sight on the .357 off his head. I don't even clean up after him or feed him.

Oh it's fucking wonderful. 
Gumby: Yeah I'm hoping for a nice storm this evening. I love sitting out on the porch smoking a bowl + drinking a beer and watching the storm roll in.

C'mon, llamas are worth it purely for the bizarre visual aesthetics they provide!
Had a pair of them on our property for a while, grazing with horses, and they were the downright weirdest mofos I've ever seen. I watched my stepdad try to ride one right up until it ditched his ass over a fence.
I wouldn't fuck with 'em.. they're too much like ostriches. Unpredictable bastardos..

Does the alpaca earn its keep? Or is it just for show?

I don't remember a taste. My elbow was hanging out of the car window, and it felt like a static elecric shock on my arm, and a jolt throughout my body.

Pics of the tree please. I think a burnt out dead tree looks kinda cool, you should keep it.
