We had another hot day here yesterday too. It is supposed to be around 100 to 105 the next several days also. Yesterday we were sorting and moving cattle real early to beat the heat, but then we had to help do a few things on some pipelines we are putting in. About 3:00 a fair sized lightning storm came thru, with just a little rain with it. From a highpoint on our ranch we could see smoke over in the general direction of some of our land, so we headed out. As we got closer the lightning kept popping and there were getting to be lots of "smokes". I got to one fire that was on our land and the rain and I put it out about the same time. There was just enough rain to slow down 8 other fires that were in the very near vacinity. We spent the next 7 hours on the fires running to a flare up now and then.
With quite a bit of summer left, this could get old. :roll:
