Thread: Ah Summer....

That's a good picture, Bob. I do hope you are not here in Las Vegas right now, if you have the option of being in Washington.

Just for the record, and general info for those who aren't real familiar with this place, it's HOT!! I think we're havin' a heatwave! We have a temperometer on our patio on the north side of the house in the shade, and the temps out there are beastly; got up to 118 on the 14th, but it is a metal roof; we're out northwest near the North Las Vegas Airport. The official high that day was only 110. We were gone to SoCal last week (like to have froze down there, the daytime temps were only in the high seventies) and our son was looking after the critters, and told me it had gotten over 110 every day. The stick thermo he carries on his truck got up to over 130 out in the sun on an asphalt and concrete gas station apron where he was making a drop. On our way home on Wednesday, it was 114 in Baker, CA, at four in the afternoon. The guessers are predicting at least another week of this mess - 108 to 114, depending on who is doing the guessing. As a general rule, it gets hotter down along the river in Bullhead/Laughlin and Lake Havasu, and on Lake Mead. In AZ, Phoenix is almost always a degree or two hotter than Las Vegas, but sometimes, things get switched around, too. I know that the weather in other parts of the country is some warm, too, so you all just keep cool, and don't overdo it and get heat disease.

Great picture!! I had to save that one...

Well it is summer and it is for sure HOT, here in Bama heat index has been over 105 for 10 days or so. We do have humidity here and in spades today it was 98 right outdside the shop and the humidity was 58% man. I have been working in the shop at night for 2 weeks or so, don't even go out there until 7:00 PM and usually work until Midnight or 1:00 am, much better that way---I Think---.

However as hot as it is here, there's always some were hotter. last year about this time of year I was driving to California on I40, I went thru Needles at 3:00AM in the morning ( did that on purpose as I wanted to drive that desert at night) In Needles at 3:00AM it was 103 Degrees, now man thats "HOT"
