On the 'puter a bit early today, but that's only because it is relatively cool down here in the dungeon where the computers are and the main floor is hotter than Hades on a Saturday night.

I don't believe I could handle the weather that you are enduring.

You get used to it... we moved over here to South Dakota from central Orygun a little over 12 years ago (the price was right) and got slammed in the face hard with the radical weather here - 105 in summer and -20 (not including wind chill factor) with 12-15-foot snow drifts in the winter. Didn't think I was going to be able to tolerate it, but, even though we still gripe about it constantly, we are acclimatized now.

I did spend four years in Tucson Arizona, but like they say it's dry heat.

Four years in Tucson? ... Davis-Monthan AFB by any chance? I did about a year and a half there. Got on great with their weather, but I admit the 40-foot walls of water rushing down the dry washes when the intense thunderstorms dumped heavy rain really kept me on my toes all summer (while not at work, I was always out hiking the desert) - and I was the weather forecaster! (only one on record to hit the start time of a thunderstorm within 5 miles of the base perimeter to the exact minute.)

@Uncle That's too funny!

Had some lunch here and now out for walk. It's decent at 75°F but a bit sunnier than I'd prefer.

Hope Friday is treating everyone well. Catch y'all later.

I guess I'm a wee bit older than you, Phil. I did my final year and a half in the USAF there as a weather forecaster (briefing generals to fly to Las Vegas to visit their girlfriends while telling their wives it would be OK to hang the laundry outside today) - 1972-73. Are they still basically a SAC base with attached fighter group, plus B-52s, and U-2s? Briefing those guys (U-2s) in top secret flights to at 70,000 feet was always interesting. Ahhhhh, the good old days...

Yup, flyboy with both boots planted firmly on the rocks. "The sky is our battlefield" applied to me only in that I plotted upper air charts, analyzed atmospheric thermodynamics (and a whole bunch of other big words), went home at the end of the day, changed into my jeans and cowboy hat, strapped on my .45 single action (in case I met Mr.Rattler), and went out to commune with the Saguaros.

Good afternoon everyone. Still a decent day here but the humidity is building and the breeze has stopped. I'm pretty much done doing for today so that's good. Only one quick little errand then dinner.

I'll catch y'all later.

Grocery shopping done. The sun is coming out and there is a strong breeze.
For those "enjoying" the heat I had to turn on the furnace last night after several days of overcast, fog, and wind,

My Kanger Dripbox 160 arrived a day early! I can't wait to get home to use my new shiney!

Thank you...I can use it...did hear from my son a little while ago, and it seems someone is finally trying to do something to get him the right insulin...his sugars are still way too high, but hopefully that'll change soon.

I wish we had that weather... It is so hot here, I'm sure I just saw a Hobbit climb my front gate and throw his ring into my driveway.

Oh, by the way, @KatzWh1skers , I went outside last night at 10:30 PM to check on a dog barking (musta been a '.... or porky or sumthin). Clouds everywhere and lightning all around us, but when I looked straight up, I saw stars (NOT the kind from a knock on the noggin). I had to put my foot down then... Mother Earth and Father Sky, hear me! This land needs refreshment. Bring it rain this very night. Along about midnight, I woke up and it was pouring hard. Woke up this morning to clear blue and wet grass (which, of course, raised the humidity, but one must pay a price for all such demands). Oh well...
