    I'm out. Getting the fields ready to put down anhydrous ammonia. 14 tons of the nasty stuff to be exact!

    Reminds me of a Mason Williams song.

    1st Person: Ammonia! Ammonia! Ammonia!
    2nd Person: Get off! Get off! Get off!

    2nd Person: I don't care what you mean, just get off! Get off!
    Get off!

    I was developing a procedure to measure the % fuel oil in the mixture prior to blasting. It tends to evaporate or settle out of the mix if you let it sit too long. Then your kaboom ends up being a thud instead. It is not a big deal if you are blasting rock in a quarry because the pressure is about the same regardless. It is a really big deal if you are developing blast resistant buildings and the blast test doesn't have the amplitude or duration that is required. You only get 1 shot to get it right.

    Now we know why your Avatar looks that way. Great product to work with when it is 100+ degrees.
    Hal would say Safety first.

    Fun course, but wow that was hot. Thank you to the Heat 4 grid for having pity on me. It was a small grid group, and I was both driving and riding with Colin. In heat 4 it was all I could do to push fluids and jump back and forth between cars to try to keep up. Whew! Reward is when Colin got 2nd in novice :)

    Yes, damned hot. I didn't hear of anyone falling out because of the heat. Almost constant reminders to hydrate seems to have paid off. And, thanks to Hal for the water.
