What did you do in todays heat that fits the description of insane?

Ha..Northerner's. That is nothing for down here in Texas, we adore anything under 100...lol

 

Nothing unusual. It was only 100 today

 

ahah, I too went for a bike ride! It was 36C+, and a crapload of humidity. Wasn't really keen on riding across town ... but she insisted we go on bike ... so on bike we went. And back.

I couldn't live in the south ... I can't wait for winter's -25C!!!

 

Well, on a 100F+ day about 8 days ago, I drove the last 260 miles of my drive from Oregon to San Francisco in my '69 Fiat spider without using my brake pedal. Downshift, downshift, downshift...parking brake. That was kind of insane!

The front right had locked on me for whatever reason and after spending an hour in the blistering sun getting the caliper unstuck and hitting the road again, I figured if I didn't use them again, I wouldn't run the risk of having to work on the car again. Stop and go traffic at the Golden Gate Bridge and by Baker beach was a little sketchy, but I made it.

 

I ran for an hour after work.

 

I ride qand do a thing called parkour....

 

I sat on the lawn as the sprinkler ran...it was nice. Not that insane is it?

 

weather here is over 110. it was 117 last week.

 

Was it humid?

 

101 here today.

Mowed lawn, chainsawed most of a large tree down, put topsoil on parts of my lawn.
Heat doesn't seem to effect me much, unless I am out in it longer than about 3 hours.

 

tonight was National Night Out so I stood on a black asphalt basketball court among 2 dozen other cops and probably almost 200 civilians - handing out freebies and letting the kids try out the fatal visions goggles. I wish they'd change the date - every year National Night Out is on August 1st and every year it's a freakin' scorcher!!

 

125 miles in the 348 with the top down and avg temp of 105.

I think I lost 5 pounds. (And I may have to replace the seat.)
