Thread: Beat the heat

    Beat the heat

    92 degrees today. Density altitude 3700 ft which is about as high as northern MN sees. Mowed the grass and then took a flight over the waterways to cool down. The wind sure felt good through open doors and windows.

    Nice pics as usual bud! I took the spousal unit up for a short ride in the S-7 but due to the bad thermals the flight didn't last long. Was hoping to buzz over and visit.
    Bad storms here last night so have some crap to pick up. Antenna tower and several trees down.

    Scout88305,

    Nice pictures! Question, how are the bugs there in Northern MN? I found southern Michigan and Washington state not too bad. Here in New Hampshire and Alaska they are bad!

    Mosquitos are average, the horse and deer flies are the worst I have ever seen. They are in swarms and bite quickly. I cannot image how the deer survive. Amorl; the barn is a few miles up the road. I only know the property owners and that the homesteader that built the barn did have a dairy herd back in the day and the was the first to have any kind of technology milking equipment. The barn is a beauty and shows the craftsmanship of the now gone elders well schooled in building stuff that lasts... Lots of Tamarack in this building.

    Any idea how OLD the barn is? What a beauty.
    Is it 3 stories? Why such a high roof I wonder.
    Whomever built the addition wasn't up to snuff!
    Really great pix, as usual.
