Monday,

Another day of heat and misery to get through. This heat wave has got to break one of these days. This is 14 straight days of this stuff and it is quickly getting old. By noon, no one is out doing anyting. People go to the stores to shop early and then stay all day as they are cool.

Believe it or not, I can relate. We have had nothing but high 80 to mid to high 90 for the past two weeks.

This is what happens when you pee in mother natures soup.

Kristen, you are up too late for me.

hey,littlecobra · #4 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 09:12 AM

If I stay up to 12 + or so, then I don't get up til 8:30!!!

that's what's good about summer. Even the girls' are staying up late/sleeping in. hoodlums were out last night.

We have company from Georgia coming to stay for the night. gotta get busy tidying up!

girls will go to VBS, boys- whatever.

more, later. kb

I just looked at our 5 day forecast and we have a cold wave on the way. It is supposed to be just 101 Friday and 99 Saturday. Better start looking for my jackets and stuff.

Ron, you know it's bad when you are happy about cooling to double digits.

Our big mall here opens the doors early so people have a place to walk out of the heat. I wonder if it helps sales when people are walking by a store window and see something they like and come back when the stores open.

Brent,

I just got back from the post office and it is only 98 right now, but before I got to the car to unlock it, I was soaked. Feels like walking under a hot waterfall. High today is supposed to be 112 with a heat index of 117/120. This stuff has to go away one of these days.

It the humidity. We have 101 on the temp right now ( that's what the thermometer says ) and it feels like more. The humidity is high.

I think we can map out Kristen's day...based on posts. At each post, she is passing by the computer and has that urge to...type.

Man, it is down right hot!

flipper35 · #10 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 02:02 PM

Only 121* and 20% humidity today. Thw weather channel says it should feel like 112*. Ron, I think you and I should invest in some big fans to put in Oregon facing this way. I would hate to be there with the weather you have. Like being in England standing in front of the A/C blower - the outside part!

Ron61 · #11 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 02:47 PM

Brent,

I think we should invest in a place in Oregon for the Summers. This stuff today is just really bad. Everyone is staying inside as much as they can and even then my skin just feels as if I am sunburned. I can't even imagine trying to drive far in this stuff with an open car. I almost wish we would get some of the rain from one of the hurricanes. My air conditioner runs night and day and it can't keep up with the heat. And even dry heat at the temperatures you are having is bad. The thermometer is right on the 112 mark now and I swear it feels more like 122. I talked to a guy that just came back from the coast over by Cresent City and he said it is even hot over there, at least for that area. I remember being in San Francisco working one time when it hit 100 there and that was a disaster. I think we need to get Kristen to send us some of her air conditioning.

I wish someone would give me a winning lottery ticket! I love the winters here. Then I could make a 2.5 mile road course, I mean driveway here inthe valley and one back in WI. Of course I would invite all of you to come visit for a while.

hey,littlecobra · #13 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 03:11 PM

passing by......

Ron61 · #14 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 03:18 PM

Brent,

That sounds like a great idea. If I win the lottery we can split it and since you know the best places in WI., you can pick the place for our Summer resort and track, opps, driveway. Then come back out here for the Winters and listen to Tru talk abut shoveling snow. I wish there was a way for us to save this heat and him to save some of the cooler weather and then we could trade in the Summer. I would gladly trade him 80 degrees of this for 50 degrees of his Winter. I guarantee he wouldn't have to shovel any snow in todays weather here. Even if it fell, it would be steam before it got to the ground.

Hi Kristen. Nice of you to pass by. You are shirking your moderator duties.

Ron

flipper35 · #15 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 03:48 PM

They were talking about that undergound train cross country. We could use that to pipe our heat his way and his cold our way!

Well guys, just to let you know, it's "HOT and MUGGY" here in Florida too. I went in the garage earlier, around 1130am, just to check on something I had written down on top of my tool box and was only there for a minute or so but was soaking wet with prespiration (swet fer you heathens) when I came back in.

Around 3pm I went out and worked on the Cobra for a short time and was soaking wet the whole time. Went and jumped in the pool and it felt like a warm bath tub.

Right now my back hurts so bad I can hardly move. I guess I need to take it easy a little longer...thinking about taking a pain pill (the first one in 5 or 6 weeks) and going to bed.

Talk to you all later......................stay cool....

hey,littlecobra · #17 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 10:53 PM

passing by again..... 11:45 pm. tru's asleep. earl probably is too. ron. yup. brent, mikez, nah, probably not.

young mike doesn't stop by here much; but I bet he isn't asleep, either.

Big day. Dusted pepe off around 7, and took our friend from georgia for a little ride.....

his best sentence was " are we going up on the highway????

???" it was the way he said it.....

felt really good getting back in.... the 'season' will be here before you know it.... there is a track event the middle or end of september. here I come!!!! speedo working, and new tires..... yippeee!!!! It is so hot. I'm sitting here with a sticky neck, humid, and even inside it's hot. we've been sitting OUTSIDE even, (a small break in the temp; only 97 or so) probably too hot for the mosquitos! Haven't even TOUCHED pepe since rolling off trailer from tulsa. didn't wash the windshield, but at least the car has the first layer of dust off. now needs a real bath, with soap and all. then of course the pipes. hmmmm.

my paint job on the tires looks like $h!t. still. they did back then, and they do now. the left (driver's) side isn't too bad. probably won't redo them. the right side. ugh. the 'oily' residue really messed up the acrylic paint. badly. It's all bubbly and peeling off. just can't redo those letters in this heat. maybe next winter!

I'm missing Ohio. I'm really missing June. It was a really fun month for me.

Maybe October...... the dallas group (of Scat- Shelby cobra assoc. of Texas--- not Dallas group of the texas cobra club) is talking about going to the shelby museum in colorado in the fall. bus ride. gross. up on a friday. see the museum on sat. bus ride back home on sunday. might go just for the change of scenery. but not if it is THE track day!
I hate sweating like this. no perspiration here, earl. sweat. ugh.

tru. I am hoping and planning on going to ohio next year. truck and car tho'. I bet bernie can't make it but every few years. dunno. I'd like to go to a run and gun. wanna go?? this year it is in august. no way for me. but maybe another one sometime. and, going to ohio without a car wasn't too bad. pretty good, actually, except for the little fiasco of the night in chicago. which really wasn't all bad, either, just totally not planned. I still remember my delirium of the keyboard not working. boy was I frustrated!

I think 'el gecko's' wife is gonna come see me in a couple of weeks. el gecko lives in amarillo, and he's wanting to convince his wife the cobra is the thing to get. well, he made it to the dallas groups july meet, but he can't come to the august one. His wife's son lives just a little way away from me, so she's gonna come to dallas, and ride with me to the breakfast meet. cool, huh?? I better do good, and make 'the sale'!!!!
amarillo is about 7-8 hours away from dallas. she'll arrive in Garland around 1 am, and then be at my house at 6:45 am to leave for the meet. not much sleep time in between there!

you guys are too boring. why don't ya'll chat with me???

need a 900 #???

anyway, I AM doing my moderator duties; I'm not shirking nuttin. got ya'll to quit talking about guns, didn't I?? somebody come play with me!

EarlsflyinCobra · #19 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 11:47 PM

Hey K, I'm not asleep....it's 10 to 2 and I got to get up for work at 4.....oh well, maybe I'll just "STAY' up.....I'll probably feel worse if I try and get that 2 hours of sleep.....yuck....the first day back to work each week (Tuesday) is always tiresome cause I usually can not get to bed early enough on Monday nights.....the other nights I'm usually in bed by 730 or 8 o'clock....still daylight....sucks....

Anybody else up????????????????????

hey,littlecobra · #20 (**permalink**) 07-18-2005, 11:52 PM
