Finally!

[Camino LS6]

A nice day.

Clear blue sky, low humidity, and a nice breeze.

What summer ought to be.

[67impss]

Got to agree wit ya

[Robert Hall]

Sounds nice..weather has been great here this week..great sunsets, breezy, cool for July (highs only around 100 the last couple days). Great pool weather in the evenings.

I might have to wear a jacket to bed.

I might have to wear a jacket to bed.

And I am not going to feel sorry for you!

[Intrepidation]

It was lovely outside today. I got my next project running before work, even if it's pissing gas out of the carburetor. Hopefully tomorrow, my day off, will be just as nice.

[FUTURE_OF_GM]

I know, right?

After the last few days of 105 degree heat index, 87 felt like fall today.

[daves87rs]

Getting hot again...

[Camino LS6]

*sigh*

Yeah, crappy summer rears its ugly head again.

[ocnblu]

Just got in from a 2 mile walk. Still low humididity here, it was a great morning for a brisk, shirtless walk through the neighborhood and adjoining military cemetery. Saw a groundhog trundling along, and a fox treading light on its feet. Not to mention about a dozen all-wheel drive wabbits.

[Camino LS6]

Nice morning here too, it's the afternoon that I'll be unhappy with.

[@dmin]

I have a feeling this day will be dreadful... its already 96 out.

[Camino LS6]

It already is. I just spent about an hour working outside, and I'm drenched from my head to my knees - completely soaked through. I think my shirt now weighs 5 pounds.

Around 100ºF in Sevilla at 7:30 PM... Kinda warm...

[the_yellow_dart]

Toronto may hit its all-time record of 38C today (100F)

[caddycruiser]

Says 96 here. I was out getting my car serviced, walked the dealer lot and woof. Steam. Supposed to be 102 tomorrow in Philly, we'll see.

Feel worst for our service department at work, big huge Acura garage but open doors and all heat. Hard to work in the stifling stuff.

I pulled in to the parking lot at LA Fitness this afternoon, and one of the counter chicks was coming out, arms outstretched... "wow it's GORGEOUS out here! I could just come out here and lay on the parking lot for the rest of the day. It's freezing in there!"

I beg to differ. It was not "freezing" in there, it was warm. People were sweating. They were working out, for crying out loud.

AND CAMINO, you will be amused to hear I put my window units in the other day. You can feel vindicated.

I'd rather feel cool, Ocn.

It's beyond awful this morning, I was out before 6:00 AM and the air was hard to breathe then.

My poor, over-worked, window units can't keep up - lukewarm is the best they can do in this crap.

[balthazar]

Only job I have currently is outside : F it, I'm staying home today.

My son has been working landscaping this week, he's home today, too. Blech.

[ocnblu]

A couple of handsome young men are due here in the next hour or so to install a new sliding door off my dining room onto my deck. They'd better not cancel on me. I have A/C cranking, they'll be halfway indoors to do the job.

Just not worth it today.

Stay in the AC and watch the trees die outside.

$h!ty summer.

[balthazar]

Supposed to break tomm- next week highs are supposed to be below 90 all week. We'll see- weather.com tends to undershoot the highs by 2-5 degrees, tho.

[Camino LS6]

What we need is rain - and alot of it.

Yesterday.

[Intrepidation]

My poor lawn! f@#k this heat. I was going to go to Main Street in Motion but the heat is just too brutal.

[Camino LS6]

Wait til you see all of the dead trees starting 6 months from now. Major drought damage is taking place right now that will show up down the road - even if we get good rainfall starting tomorrow.

[balthazar]

Hey Ocn- yer cute contractors show up? I ask as a matter of professional curiosity, as the contractor biz is notorious for people not showing up. I should know, I grab a chunk of work from those slackers.

[ocnblu]

Yup, but not until after noon. The door is in... they didn't leave until after 6 pm! The door was purchased from Lowe's, they were chosen by them to install it. It looks good and works well.

Why they wanted to wait until high noon to show up is beyond me, in all that heat.

[SAmadei]

The Atlantic City area hit 105.1 Friday, second hottest of all time. Felt like 122. We got some protection being on a barrier island... it was "only" about 97. but it was worst today for us, our barrier island difference disappeared and we hit the 100 at noon. Apparently, AC got 102~103 today.

Just nuts.

Thankfully, there is still a island breeze... mostly... but the greenheads are hot, agitated and out for blood. I had one accost me in the car buzzing around my head, luckily I was only doing about 25... faster and it would have been a major distraction... I hit the thing about 3 times and it still didn't die.
