My outside cat who never likes to come in the house forced her way in this morning & refuses to go back outside... even my dog can't make her budge. I'm trying to finish up my truck for it's maiden voyage this weekend & have had to change shirts 3 times this morning. An ice cream truck came by earlier but I didn't make it out to the curb in time!!! :eek::eek::eek:

I've actually changed deodorants 3 times this Summer, looking for one that will work in this heat and humidity. :eek: If I go to the shop I am soaked in a few minutes. I can't wait until fall comes ! :D

Try putting it on daily instead of once a month.;)

That is definately hot!!!!
 
So how's the plan coming to build a big dome over Houston?
My daughter was here all summer, from Tejas and she kept me updated to how many days over 100, lots. I'll take my winters with ease, you'uns can keep that heat/humidity.

Ummmm... that would be one BIG dome!!! It's also so hot here you don't need to use the hot water to shower or bathe. Our cold water is usually nice & cool... now it's like hot water. No real rain in 6 months at least & we broke the record for 100˚ days in a row middle of last week. My wife made me quit using that cheaper 23 hour deodorant.

I've seen the show on tv a couple times about some guys with the idea to build the dome. I don't think they have all the bugs out of the engineering yet.
 
GG, if I send you a very big box, could you send us a day or two of that weather ? What I would give right now for some cool air ! :eek::D

Don, I just don't think those guys feel very bad for us because as soon as they start getting their blizzards, we rub it in about our sunny 70 degree winter weather :D. It sure is brutal in the summer though. It's not so much the heat, but the humidity that gets me. I can walk outside at 1:00 in the morning and be sweaty before I get to my car.
 
I can honestly say I would probably be dead if I hadn't gotten out of Texas. I have always loved the outdoors and stayed active but down there all I wanted to do was get home and set in the air conditioned house, nothing to enjoy about being outside in the summer. In winter here you can just put on more clothes if you're cold. I can plow snow all day long on the old cab-less 3020 and be happy as a clam.

Yeah, that little dance I do every winter when I hear about our Northern buddies freezing their tails off probably makes them want to get even with me when July and August comes around. I PROMISE, I will NEVER rub you guys noses in it again while we are riding around in our roadsters while you are shoveling that horrible white stuff just to get your car out to go to work. :D (Hope they can't see my fingers crossed behind my back :p) :D

How hot is it?....





....the birds have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground.

....the trees are whistling for the dogs.

....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

....hot water comes from both taps.

....you can make sun tea instantly.

....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.

....the temperature drops below 95 F (35 C) and you feel a little chilly.

....you discover that in July it only takes two fingers to steer your car.

....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.

....you actually burn your hand opening the car door.

....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 A.M.

....your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

....you realize that asphalt has a liquid stage.

....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter.

....the cows are giving evaporated milk.

....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.


IT'S SO DRY IN Kansas ....



That the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling,

The Methodists are using wet-wipes,

Presbyterians are giving rain checks,

And the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water!
 
My son and I were working in the driveway,three o clock rolled around and I just couldnt take it anymore so we started picking up tools.We had to put on gloves they were so hot!
 
Good gloves keep hands from burns in the summer and stickin in the winter. Havin a "real" job teaches those lessons in less than a years time :D
 
Today we tried working in the shop for a while and it was so hot and humid we had to quit. I grabbed a shower at the shop before leaving and by the time I got done I was sweating all over again. It has been BRUTAL this Summer! :eek:

Ya know, I just thought of something funny. We all thought Al Gore was a horses behind, but he was the one predicting global warming and also the future success of the internet. So my slogan for 2012 is AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT !! [cl
