Oh well.... A/C is holding it at bay and my wallet for ransom. LOL
We had 108 official yesterday. My car thermometer was showing 116 however.
Air conditioning is mankind's greatest achievement in my book!
120 here in Vegas last monday!!!
High is a cool low 90s here every day during july, august and september. Humidity is the killer here. it is 87 f right now with 74% humidity. They say that feels like 99. For us 74% is low humidity BTW.

Wullie-I drove with the family through Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle twice last summer on a vacation/road-trip to the 4 Corners area. As far as I'm concerned, God gave that area to the Devil to make into the back porch of hell. It hit 116 one day as we stopped in Amarillo. No wonder Texans are so tough!
Wow, almost 49, that's warm!Quote:

In the middle of Summer over here, in the packaging shed of the nickel mine I work at near Leonora, Western Australia, it gets over 125'f, the birds fall out the trees dead, and so do the operators if they don't drink enough. Dry heat to about 110F is ok, but to much for me now if any hotter. Ps neat shovel.
Cheers

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

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!Quote:

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." :rofl2:
I got out of there with my scalp intact. :tu
Classic!! And I thought only Clint could say that and get out "scalp intact" lol.Quote:

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. :)Quote:

At least it wasn't "wet" bread...Quote:
