The Ranch, Lakewood, New Mexico 62 degrees and mostly sunny to 88 degrees and sunny.

Wind is up this morning 17 mph with gusts up to 25 and the wind will keep the temperature down today, it is a tradeoff, wind or heat. If the wind gusts get too much I have to roll the big awning up and the table slide (left) or the noise of the awnings trying to roll up by themselfs overcomes us. I also do not like the constant flexing.

MEWS - (Men Eating Without Supervision) five of us car-pooled to The Paddock restaurant about five miles east of Artesia, NM. Always a good breakfast with good mens conversation.

The Ranch, Lakewood, New Mexico 66 degrees and partly cloudy to 93 degrees and sunny.
I have three holes open now to replace water stand pipes and need one more to state replacing the four as we have to shutdown the water main.

The air conditioner is installed in the wall of the new laundry shed. For one thing with the windows open it is fairly cool. We now can control the millers and flies with the doors closed and the screened windows open.

I got a picture of one of the older members of The Ranch Cowboy (Al 92) and his new girl Mae at happy hour today.
