Tick, Tock

8/16/10 - 2nd Day. Morning. Greetings y'all. The heat continues. It didn't get hot here until August, but August continues to be a brutal onslaught day after day. The prognosticators are not calling for a break to near normal temps (mid-90's) for another 8 or 9 days. Last night it was near 93 at 9:30 pm. But the good news is that by the time Fall Ranchfest gets here on Sept. 24th, we should be down in the mid-80's during the day, and right around 60 at night, which will be nice.

I am in the midst of a busy spell. We're still trying to get all of our packages mailed out, and we are still behind, but y'all be patient and we'll have 'em all out soon. Then my parents and my sister are coming to visit on Wednesday and will be staying until Friday. Then I have other company coming over the weekend, followed by other company on Monday or Tuesday of next week. All this while we are trying to get as many beans as possible picked and processed.

The clock at the top represents how fast time is going, and that Fall Ranchfest is coming quickly. As of today there are only 39 days until Ranchfest starts. By the way, if you are coming to Ranchfest, please let me know. Even if you have said you are coming, but haven't kept me informed for a few weeks, I need to know if you are coming. Those of you who are on my private email friendslist will be getting an email today to keep you updated on what is planned, etc.

We are looking forward to a great time of fellowship. The Ranchfest this past spring was one of the better ones we ever had, and if the people who have preliminarily told me they are coming for Fall Ranchfest do indeed come, we should have a great showing and an opportunity to work on many interesting projects. We're also going to kill and process a pig, so... there is that.

Ok, y'all. I have to run,

Michael Bunker
