Let's snivel about the heat.

[MGYSGT]

Today so far is 115 degrees, suppose to get higher about 5PM. Tomorrow is XTC. You know, jackets, prone, sitting and offhand. I am so done with summer on XTC Sundays.

Seems avoidable…

113 in Tucson. No motorcycle ride today and no shooting.

Well the Texas heat has been pretty brutal so far. We got a break these next few days 80s and 90s.
I need a pair of sham wow underwear to wick this moisture away while I'm shooting.

Well, 2 hours on the mower with the climax of sliding into our fishing pond. Shuffled 1/4 mile to the house to get our Kubota RTV to pull it out as my Duramax is in the shop getting an A/C compressor kit. Wife for the first time did not give me a sermon about my driving. Took about 30 minutes to pressure wash it. I'm now in the shop with the A/C on full blast. One of my customers is a brewmaster and brought me some of his German style beer. Don't drink much anymore, but it sure seems like a good thing right now.

Bok or Pilsner ?

You know, I have not a clue. Though I don't care for beer in a can, I will see what the label says and let you know. My favorite is Becks.

The heat....I do feel for you guys down south with the 110 + heat. In 5 months it'll be -30 degrees or better up here.

Glad you were not hurt. Mowed today here, the wife did it, takes 2 hours too. I was wrenching on my Toyota, have a misfire, needs injectors. Only 85 here today, so I shouldn't complain.

I run 5-10k's for fun, some of the neighbor kids run with me. For several years a favorite has been on the July 4th, than we(families) sit and watch the parade. This year looks like 75-76 at start time, definitely ok with that.

 

[Diverjeff]

Hit 100 here today,not as bad as some of you have it but anything over 75-80 and I suffer.

Are you sure you didn't have the beer BEFORE you got on the mower?!

Cheer up! In a couple or 3 months we can start a thread about sniveling about the cold.

I live out side of Sacramento 108.8 today in my back yard 12% humidity with a N. breeze feels like a blast furnace we do frequent 114, last year 116, CA aint all fun and games

I know I know, but its a dry heat... go suck a lemon

Yep, your winters are our summers, comfort wise. As an aside, we really don't need to heat our water. Comes preheated this time of year.

 

[JB10]

I too am in AZ, vally area. This time of year my shooting is on pause unless i go north. As a kid i was out way more in this heat. Did not bother me as bad as now, yeah it was hot but was having fun. I know working outside years ago i had at least 1 mild heat stroke. Never went to doctor over it. I hear about people that visit here or new to living hear go on hikes, next thing you know they are dead or being rescued. Guess us locals just know when to take it easy and stay inside. I love winter time better.

 

[jwink]

82 here today, spent the day sailing... not bitchin a bit.

 

[K22]

Here in the northeast, its smoke and more smoke. It's weird, very weird.

 

[DShortt]

96° here today with 80% humidity. Sweating doesn't do a darn thing but get your clothes wet.

My FIL swears by wearing 3 tee-shirts in the summer. Personally I think his time in Vietnam has affected him in subtle ways along with the obvious ones.

It'll be over 100 in a couple of weeks. Humidity will still be at or above 70%. That'll be the norm for 6-8 weeks.
