Thread: Yeah, but it's a dry heat

As far as I'm concerned, humidity below 25% is bearable.

I've been out West when it was 110° at dawn and the humidity was around 5%. That was in Yuma, AZ one summer. The A/c in the truck I was driving took a dump and that was a MISERABLE trip in a cab over.

This was taken last summer.
and I was running about 40 mph when I snapped the pic.

yes it sure is. It really sucks when you want to go outside and it feels like a giant blowdryer. Well, thank goodness for air conditioning!

Make sure ur clean ur coils on ur ac unit since they are working extremely tuff in these hot conditions

Well "they" downgraded the temps for this week here in KS from 107, to 103! Woot!

The humidity here is killer though. I honestly don't understand how anything grows in this state? I think it's hit the 100's every day for the past month... Who knew KS would be so stinking hot?

KANSASS!!!

I lived in Shawnee Mission as kid for a couple of years.

Got in trouble at a KS port of entry one afternoon. I had a monster load on the trailer and my permits were in order, the clown behind the counter didn't like it and proceeded to give me a lot of blowback just because he could. when He finished his rant, I smiled and told him that I really loved visiting the land of three suns. He asked what I was talking about and I told him, "Sunshine, Sunflowers, and sons a bitches."

I got out of there with my scalp intact.

Classic!! And I thought only Clint could say that and get out "scalp intact" lol.

Actually it was a Texan that said that. I can't take credit for originality.

It was said by a Texas trail boss when met at the KS/ OK Indian Terr border by armed KS border guards. THe guards were there to stop the Texas herds from coming though Kansas due to "Texas Cattle Shipping Fever". The trail boss figured the odds and made his decision. He told his men, "Bend 'em West boys. Nothing up here but sunshine, sunflowers, and sons a bitches."

And he was right... bahahahaha.

Years ago while on a family trip we stopped on the side of the road in Arizona to eat sandwiches. The bread got hard before I took the second bite. It felt like I was eating toast.

Funny, Crotalus-We had that same dry bread experience on many roadside picnic stops on our Western road trip last summer.
