Some Relief Finally

Dude - That was one hot weekend! I will tell you after a weekend of over 100 degree weather this rain sure feels good. A nice steady rain without any terrential downpours that will run off is exactly what the doctor ordered. I am a little concerned that I hear this might go on for three days though. I want a little drink of water just to get me hydrated but I sure don't need that much.

All and all life is pretty good today though. None of those crazy guys can spray anything on me or poke and prod me too much today with this rain. They want inside jobs on days like today. So good news for me and bad news for our winemaker as well. They came out to check how I was doing on Friday and it turns out I have lost weight. They say they like me to weigh in around 2 tons per acre but this year I shed off some baby fat and they think I am only going to come in about 1.5 tons per acre. Well I look good though and apparently that means I might also have more concentration and intensity when they harvest me. They do think I should ripen quite uniformly and turn out well as long as I don't stress out to much in the hot summer or drink to much.

Well, I am going to go and just chill in the rain before these guys can get back out here. I overheard them talking about how they want to hedge me a bit this week. I hate haircuts! Whenever they do that they always rip off some of my shoots and play with y grape clusters. It's so annoying, but until then it will be pretty chill for me.
