It got real dark here, with thundering, then we got something like 20 drops in less than a minute, and it's over. Woo hoo! Roll Eyes

Just started rumblings in the Woodlands, hoping we get at least a little rain.

Yep, 16 and building chain link fence during the day, and working out trying to get in shape for two a days after work.

Let us know how hot it is when Mount Hood erupts.


Sure; but I’m just as likely as you to hear it on the news! Mt. Hood is a long ways away. Wink
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hmmm. Let us make it Mount Rainier then.

you mean MT. Rainer? maybe Razz

75-80 degrees and no humidity to speak of. Yeah, that is pretty hard to beat from now till mid sept or better. Wink

And yes there are leftist everywhere. Spread out more now than ever. But whatever.

It is hot as all get here right now. I hope I can get over to the PNW at some point for some of that relief Smile I am envious.

well, I'm so old I can remember the drought we had in Texas during most of the 1950's. Lots of days in a row over 100 and no countable rain for years. It was dust bowl bad. But the people of Texas learned from it and created one of the best systems of dams and reservoirs in the country. I saw cracks in the ground wider than a truck tire.

Huh? Then tell us. The mudslides will consume much of the area. According to many experts.

...and I discovered that our bigger ac unit was short cycling overnight, had our AC guys out, and our evaporator is leaking and needs replaced... Joy.

The heat this year has been insane. 106 outside temp yesterday while making a road trip from Corpus to Three Rivers-Choke Canyon Damn area.
Just absolute stifling this whole month. Generally there is a 20-30 mph wind blowing down here in the Coastal Bend which helps to cool you down some, however since summer kicked in there has been almost no wind at all to speak of.
