We are in the heat wave band here so my cousin and I decided we should go
golfing at noon today. ::)

Temperatures over 90F and humidity over 75%.
The weather certainly took it's toll on our scores.
(OK, our scores always stink, but I'm using the weather as an excuse this time!)

We'll be on the golf course again tomorrow at 9:30AM.
It should be a little cooler then.
It may be so cold that my score will suffer...........

If you are in the heat wave, use some common sense.
A mild headache is the first sign of dehydration.
Don't ignore the signs!
Drink lots of water or other non-carbonated, non-alcoholic fluids.

Be safe out there!

Hi Rick,

Super hot and humid in Southwest Florida, Hope we all get a break soon.

Average temp around Sacramento this time of year is mid-90's. Very often it is over 100 degrees like this coming weekend, we are scheduled for a number of days well over 100. It wouldn't feel right if it was any cooler. It's also why I have my shed air conditioner mounted so that it blows directly into my face from 2 feet away while I 'm working on my engines. In fact, it gets so hot here that birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
 



13th day of triple digit temps. 100 degrees today. Today was the coolest. The other 12 have been anywhere from 102 to 107 farenhiet. The thing that saves us is the humidity.
Form a low of 3 percent to about 60 to 70 percent, average around 20 to 30 percent.

Its hot here, about 85 degrees F and humid. ----And God, I just love it!!! Everybody else seems to whine and complain about it, but I remember every day of every Canadian winter for the last 66 years---As far as I'm concerned, if this is Global warming, its welcome at the Rupnow house!!!----Brian
 


I hate winter also. I'll take the heat anyday.

I HATE the heat!

You can always put on more clothes to keep warm.
Taking too much off to get cooler makes people look at you funny. :shrug:

Rick
 
106 F and not humid. They don't call it Hot Vegas (Las Vegas) for nothing.

The only nice thing about working in a plumbing and heating shop is the nice cool crawl spaces and basements when its 100 degrees plus out. The plumbing shop was built in 1913 so no central air. Up stairs gets extreamly hot even with a window a/c blowing directly on you. In our machine shop it gets plenty warm without the air conditioner hooked up yet.

I'm with you on the heat rick. I would really rather be riding a snowmobile when its zero degrees than working in the heat

Out here in Maine it got up to 79 today, with a cool sea breeze. Its 62 now, just about a perfect sleeping night.

You can keep all that heat out west and down south.

It seems to be extra hot everywhere this summer, But we were 95 last Tuesday
at six in the afternoon when a 100 MW transformer at our steam plant shorted
and caught fire so the whole city was without power for 24 hours :mad: :mad:
They put backup generators 3 and 4 online so we had some power and things are
going along pretty good and blam!!!!! on Tuesday this week generator 4 goes down
throws all the load on #3 and it goes down so blackout for another 8 hours, now we
are working on a 50 year old 50 MW transformer and keep our fingers crossed :eek: :eek:
We were working from our little 6500 watt generator and just before dark it blew
a capacitor luckly I had a used one in my shop so we had a few lights and a small
window unit for the night. :bow: :bow: So don't complain guys it could be worse!!

 
Well, down here in hot South Texas it is only making it into the mid 90's. But the humidity is up...

Don't envy those of you in the current hotspots, it will probably make it into the 100's come August, and then continue into September.
 
Two days of 107° with index temps of 115°, this week. Was a balmy 100/ 105° today. A wee bit miserable with the high humidity levels. I'm looking forward to the high 80's or low 90's predicted next week.

Got the heater on full bore in the work shop. 12 deg C outside

If I put enough clothes on to stay warm I waddle like a penguin and can't do anything.



If I fell over I'd have to have one of those "help I've fallen and can't get up" gadgets. :big: :big: :big: :big:

Bob. Just after I posted that note I saw on the news it was 1.2C at the airport and six planes had to be de-iced before take off. Roll on summer ;D
