Boy is it hot outside....

according to my o/s thermometer and my weather bug, it is 101 outside, I'm sure that will be in the record books. How about everyone else, hopefully no members have lost their Eggs in the Colorado fires.

I'm heading out to Vancouver on Monday, and I am watching the road reports for flooding and mud slides. Some heat would be good.

I've stopped work on my trailer until I can find a way to deal with this heat.

It was 102 in my trailer when I went back to it at 7:30pm last night. It was around 104 outside as the high, I can't imagine how hot it was in the trailer at that point.

97 here in coastal SC, I'm catching a break on account of being so close to the ocean. :P I love love love my A/C right about now, it's powerful enough to keep my Casita at a very comfortable 75 and that's in full sunlight.

Been about 95+ here in Iowa and with the humidity it is unbearable. Looking the same for next week...

What I wouldn't do for some ocean breezes at this point!

I was planning on putting the AC in last, but now, it may be moved up to next on the list!

After being in North Dakota until two weeks ago, I'll take my Iowa heat and humidity.

108 Yesterday and Today here but.....it IS a dry heat!

Whats interesting though is that it is a dry heat which we are not used to here at all.

Normally we have 80% or humidity which makes a 95 degree day feel much worse to me than the last 2 days.

We have had under 20% humidity for several days in a row and it is literally hard to accept that it is so hot on the thermometer!

Go Figure?

72 here in Palo Alto CA! Nice!

I'm going to Kenwood in Sonoma County next week. It will be in the mid to high 80s during the day and the mid 50s at night!

I'll put the tent fly over Mouse and she will stay very comfortable to be in during the day.

But I will probably be out wine tasting and riding my bike so it won't matter.

It is rough living in Northern California!

Heading for a hundred and office AC went out. Sigh Wish I was way up in da UP, it's always cooler there. With a bit of breeze off the great lakes I could probably grill dinner instead of feeling like grilled dinner.

We're in Indianapolis visiting our son & his family. It was 106 yesterday. Today we drove 100 miles south to meet some friends. It was 106 there when we left. When we returned to Indy it was 73, so it dropped 33 degrees. Of those 33, 20 of the drop took less than 10 minutes. Going back up now. Just a few drops of rain for just a few minutes though it looked like the sky could open.

Well it is 27 (humidex of 30) up here in the Great White North at 9:00 PM, going down to 19 tonight.

Oops, I forgot, the US still has not jumped on the Metric way like the rest of the world. That translates into 80 (feels like 86) going down to 66 tonight.

Two days ago, the official overnight low for Dallas was 83 degrees F. It doesn't take much sunshine to push it up to 106. We slept well in the Bigfoot AC though. We have 4 grandkids staying at home with us and the trailer is an extra bedroom.

I have always been amazed how people who live in the southern part of the USA survive the heat in the summer.. I spent the month of August in Knoxville Tenn for a four year period and I never got accustomed to the stifling heat and humidity. It is going to be 90 Deg F today here in Wisconsin and I almost am starting to miss winter and snow. At least in the winter there are no mosquitoes

It was 109*F in Austin TX on Tuesday (wch was Awesome Awful!) but it has backed off of that a little each day, and today we are very happy that the forecast is for a balmy 94!
