Unbelievably HOT!!!

Today is the hottest day so far this year. It's showing over 110 on the the thermometer out side. I'm in east Texas. Feels like an oven out there!

I've always been hot.  Being cool is just a choice I make.

it's summertime, folks.

This is hot and the BEST salsa I've ever had!! Homemade by Boney. Absolutely fantastic!

Thanks! We just bought a new system too! Man they're expensive. Today is noticeably hotter than any day so far this year. It's supposed to even get hotter than this by Thursday. Stay cool too! I bought much ice cream to make us feel better!

I've always been hot.  Being cool is just a choice I make.

The choices we make dictate the life we lead.

It's been fairly warm and humid around here, too.  Nothing like the rest of the country, though. 

Stay cool everyone. 

The guys who installed our new HVAC system told me they had been looking forward to my house as my blower/heat exchanger is under the house.  They'd just done three consecutive installs that were in attics.  Yet they could still make complete sentences and weren't twitching violently or vomiting up blood.  Those guys earn their money the old fashioned way.  They do stuff none of the other of us will.  And just out of curiosity there Robert, ol pal, did you just spend 10 minutes in your attic to see if you'd survive? 

Hold on.  Are you suggesting that there's a correlation between temperature and seasons?  Really?

My mind has been blown.  I'm going to have to revisit all those other urban legends.  You know, like the Myth of the Round Earth, the Law of Gravity, the Existence of France and other fantastic tales.

I guess my theory that the high temperatures were caused by excessive gerbil hair clogging the ozone layer might not be quite as scientifically sound as I had thought.

Today is to be hotter. This is different. 1880's was like this. Worrisome for sure. These temps are in the shade.

LOL.  No, I'm a cable tech in Fort Worth. Like your HVAC guys, my job takes me into several attics every day. What most people don't realize is that when it's 105-110 outside and the sun is shining, the air in the attic is closer to 130-140. You burn your hands when you touch the wood in the trusses. The loudest sound you hear is your own sweat dripping onto the deck at your feet.



It's freakin' hot up there.

 Been there,done that being in HVAC and all........I'm glad that for the most part I seldom am in that situation now.

 RobertB you forgot to mention the rockwool and fiberglass insulation that somehow ends up sticking to your whole body and those attics that you literally barely fit into, or when trying to become vertical in an attic and in the process of standing up you take the tip of a roofing nail into your head. I know you were all probably wondering what had happened to me;)

   Lately I have been up on some flat black rubber roofs. They get plenty hot. Its difficult to look at a schematic and program a cpu on a roof that is at least 120F and your eyes are burning because of the salty sweat pouring into them. A lot of guys in the trade have worked non stop during a heat wave for maybe 10 days straight 12-20 hours a day. I am fortunate that my job is much less a stress because we have shifts, but I have been there........gotta make hay while the makin's good.

it's summertime, folks.

it's always hot in the summer.

We could all go to the southern hemishpere where it's winter right about now.  I suggest Melbourne, Australia.  I'm open to other suggestions, though. 

Pumpkin, Sweetness Incarnate, Essence of Lambykins, Snoogie Woogie Wips are names I can use! Please tell me more!


Here's the thermometer at 1pm. I had to go the Doc this afternoon so I missed the 3:30 reading

Every summer in Vegas is that way. You can say it's a dry heat but there isn't much difference. Get some electrolytes and drink plenty of water. 104 today, cool for July.
