Got Fall?

[Hoghappy]

It's been in the upper 90's to low 100's here all week with the heat index @ 105 to 115. It ain't fit for man nor beast....and it's only June! :eek:

[fooman2008]

What's fall? Idaho hasn't had summer yet! We have had rain every day all of June! People are praying we can get one day for the lawns to dry out so we can mow....

In Idaho isn't fall the day between summer and winter.

Seems like this is always the way it is ....either you can't get rain or it won't quit. The only moisture we have is the worse kind...in the air. It's sooooo hot and humid you start pouring sweat the moment you step out of the AC. One big sauna!

Foo...get a goat! :D

[ragss]

Cry Cry Cry. Where is our hard core commodore that would brave the weather. Oh I forgot your a goverment worker now. LOL ;)
Oh by the way the wind was excellent.

If it were official sail weekend I would of been there, but I would prefer to NOT let my fat self have a stroke hauling all my stuff when it's like this. I need some AC underwear...where can I get some of those! :p

Diehard...you need to post about the sail on the MMBC thread. ;)

Ok here we go.

Question 1. How many lipo cells does it take to power a 25,000 btu air conditioner for three hours.

Question 2. Will the park comission allow us to sink the condensor in the pond.

Question3. How much is a solar net cover to cover the area of the affected area of the air conditioner.

Question 4. How many sailors will still woose out after all this work!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Don't laugh man...I do have a couple of 6".... 6v automotive fans and may clamp one to my chair and power it with a gel cell. :D

[ragss]

:eek: You know your showing your age when you talk about a 6 volt automotive fan. :eek:

[fooman2008]

aren't bikes (motorcycle) 6 volt?
Foo

[ragss]

Yea but!!!

a bike ain't an automobile!! :rolleyes:

[Kmot]

Get a block of ice, and put the fan behind it. Old skool A/C :D

Now that's hot. I can't wait for November.

[420TEE]

I'm just looking on the radar at a mess of red heading for us. Boy, do I love living here. :censored:

[MILLERTIME]

I remember one October I was in New Orleans.
I took a shower and could not dry off. I went out dancing at the Maple Leaf.
They had a real good Cajun Zydeco band, and I danced all night long.
My clothes were soaking wet, I had a great time.

[AndyKunz]

We've got 90 degrees and mid-70's humidity. Sure doesn't sound like fall to me!

Lookin' at 88 degrees at 09:00 and a good sized thunder storm bearing down on us. High winds and maybe hail this morning followed by drizzle and then sauna type heat for the rest of the day. Welcome to SW Florida. El Toro Pooh Pooh. Pete

[Schrott]

I just got back from a trip into the desert, delivered jumps to a horse show.

It was rather toasty, on the Highway my thermometer meassured 140 degree :D

When we unloaded around 12:00 it was 110 despite a thunderstorm covering the area. On my way back the blacktop was even hotter over 150. good time for road kills, just wait 10 minutes and it is well done.

I realy ( not realy ) felt sorry for the guys that did all the GRIP construction, building roads at those temps must be a brutal job. We have a ton of GRIP construction going on, badly needed infrastructur rebuild.

[Shaun Hendricks]

I'm going to curse us, but it's been remarkably cold here in Central CA for June. I drove in to work this morning in dense fog. We've only had the June "glooms" for a few days out of the month. Odd year, cold for us so far.

Of course now that I've said that we'll start breaking heat records soon. :rolleyes:

[norgale]

June 24th, 14:30, 83 degrees and solid rain as far as the eye can see. Pete

[jeepers1940]

June 24th, 17:00, 98 degrees and high humidity. 21:40, wife and I walked for exercise a few blocks, came back wringing wet. Typical for this time of year in the South.

[SD rc boater]

Sunny and around 70 today in coastal San Diego with a nice onshore breeze coming off of the ocean. Add 10 degrees to what it is on the coast for the inland temps this time of year and 15 maybe even 20 to what the temp is on the coast for that day in the hotter months.

Send rain. There has been no rain of any significance for many months. :(

[Aerominded]

Low marine layer on this end of the central coast- It has been a cool spring here too... (If I said it and you said it, Shaun, maybe we cancel out the "heat record" jinx?)

[der kapitan]

On the eastern part, we had a nice sunny day yesterday, about 83 with a slight breeze. Our weather has been on the cool side recently, so it's good to get some decent warm days to be out in. Humidity isn't bad, and our worst conditions can't even begin to approach what the southern folks experience---. ;)

Especially like in Louisiana---, hoo boy! dat be muggy dere, ah gayrontee---. :D

[Hoghappy]

, hoo boy! dat be muggy dere, ah gayrontee---. :D

You're sounding like a... :D

[norgale]

That ain't the same RCA we had up in Mass. when I was a kid. Ha! Pete

[fooman2008]

Let me guess.....San Francisco Gray area weather, hot, hot and dry, small craft warnings by noon every day, four foot chop in the north bay, and every knucklehead who thinks they can drive a sheetboat out in it! I spent two years in the grey (gay?) area, I learned how to drive a sheetboat there! (I am actually in Iderho, 1200 miles away, just know northern Cali weather)

Hoghappy, I spent several sweaty months down there in 2002 doing FEMA work, cleaning up after hurricane Lily. ;)

Linked up with a bunch of Cajuns in Lafayette, who virtually "adopted" me, after learning I could cook up dat spicy stuff---. :p

Had a really good time with those folks, and a bit of Cajun must've rubbed off---. :)

Fried catfish, tomato pie, chicory coffee---, yah! dat cunass stuff---. :D

[norgale]

Yes sir; Zataraines red beans and rice with shrinp. MMMMMMM good! Pete

[420TEE]

Cajun crawdads on the kitchen table covered with newspaper and plenty of cold ones. MMM MMM GOOD!

[der kapitan]

420TEE, yah! I forgot da crawfish and da beer---. :o

[jeepers1940]

An' da zydeco music (uh, not so sure about the music part)! :)

[der kapitan]

An' da zydeco music (uh, not so sure about the music part)! :)
C'mon Jeepers, you don't have to actually understand Cajun to enjoy the music---. :)

I have quite a few tapes and CD's in my music library that I picked up here and there, and play it when I need to get the blood pumpin'---. ;)

[jeepers1940]

I find that what zydeco lacks in musicality it makes up for in enthusiasm. :)
I find that ol' Wagner - yeah, Wagner - gets my blood pumpin'. With my cardiac history, I have to watch that blood pumpin' stuff. :D

[Aerominded]

Let me guess.....San Francisco Gray area weather, hot, hot and dry, small craft warnings by noon every day...
Hee hee, in the summer, the harbor masters around the bay don't even bother to take the small craft advisory flags down! ;)


Crawdads... maybe too much work... I'll take the beer though!!! (like that is a surprize to anybody! :rolleyes: ) :)

[jeepers1940]

Aero-, liking beer? Noooooo! :)

He's okay, but I tend to prefer Michael Doucet and/or Jo-El Sonnier---. :)

Michael sings in English sometimes---. ;)

[fooman2008]

Aero,
I knew the Harbormaster at the old Treasure Island yacht club who would determine how busy he (and the retriever boat) were going to be by how many times he had to replace the the shredded flag for small craft warnings every summer. The guy who taught me how to sail (the harbormaster at the Naval Air Station Alameda), used to let me check out a 14 foot Laser and go sailing almost anywhere I wanted, I made it to Angel Island one time (with about half the sail reefed down). He used to say that the onshore breeze was caused by the sun heating the surface of the Earth in the Sacramento Valley and, as it heated, it would suck it in through the Golden Gate. Not sure if his theory had any valid meteorological science to back it up but did at least give some kind of an explanation that the weather guessers never did!
