100=B0F tomorrow (feels like 120=B0F with humidex.) In Canaduh...... The bananas will love it!

[FrozenNorth]

Just hoping my A/C can keep up with it, stay cool. :-)

--------------------------------------- Hit 86F with 50% RH in my part of SoCal today.

Marine layer coming back in, should be cooler tomorrow.

The AC is set at 74 and running for 5, off for 10 mins, so I think it should manage. Just keeping the humidity down is a blessing. If I do an all house emergency generator, I want that included. That's really the only thing I have some concerns about, the grid. As long as it fragments, like it didn't during the last black-out.

You and yours stay cool too.

[Larry Jaques]

But it's a dry heat...OOPS, no it's -not-. Pffffft!

Ay least we got a breeze! The humidity was 97% a few mornings ago and at least that left for the heat wave. The breeze and the lower humidity brings the humidex down to a cool 45 C (113 foreignheat) . Gives me a good excuse not to get out and move granular compaction materials, by shovel, for the next few days.

Thank Gawd I used WD-40 on the wheelbarrow wheels though.

Not quite as hot here (yesterday peak of 89 degrees with 98% humidity peak) but it's not fun sawing up a felled tree before starting on a new fence in this weather.

I'm not complaining though. At least I don't have to shovel sunshine!

And yes, I will be adding water to the cement as it's been dry for over a month. Normally when I did a hole it fills up with water... not this time.

Well, I hate to tell you this:

[Robatoy]

It was warm today. 100 is warm. That 'feels-like' number is goofy though it was said to be 122. Didn't feel a degree over 119 to me.

[Nova]

We had pretty high winds here today. One local TV weather forecaster said if you figure in the "Wind Chill" it feels like 88 degrees.

though it was said to be 122. Didn't feel a degree over 119 to me.

--------------------------------------Memories:

Can remember summer days like that when I was still in Ohio.

Solution was simple.

Drive to boat yard, prep the boat then head out into Lake Erie, 5 maybe 10 miles.

Stop engine and let boat drift.

Tether myself to boat, then jump over board wearing a life jacket and clutching a cold one.

Gives you a whole different perspective of the world.

Bobbing around in the water, with little more than your head exposed, you begin to understand what a pimple on the ass of humanity you really are in the grand scheme of things.

Memories.

What do you expect from the dead of winter, George? I'll send you some, only if you promise to return the favour 6 months from now.

Too many times lately that we have vacationed in Holland in July or so, it was almost as hot there as it is now here. Since there is a dearth of airco (A/C) over there, it is as if you were in a cardboard hut on the beach of the Mediterranean (sp?) near Ventimiglia in the '50s. DAMHIKT.
