I have AC and a swamp cooler, but so far I have only used the AC once. I know that will change for this week though as the swamp cooler becomes ineffective once the temps hit 100.

I had to brake out the bigger water jug, those little water bottles aren't big enough, other than that waiting for left coast diesel to have a opening , Oil cooler is plugging so Bullit proof egr cooler, bullit proof oil cooler, external coolent filter and a turbo cleanin. then by Saturday headed to Phoenix , I'm afraid to ask or even see the Temps down there

They quit using numbers for the temperature down there. It's just "Surface of the Sun" or "Liquid Magma".

Well, so much for playing hermit. Have to go out in the heat to tow my shade tree mechanic's car home after it was hit by a idiot running a stop sign (then fleeing the scene).

Thunderstorms yesterday and today. Got hot, somewhere around 85 or 90, then clouds and cooled down into the upper 60s with lightning. Not enough rain to even wet the ground, unfortunately, just a few drops that evaporated as soon as they hit. I hope we don't get any big fires. There are a couple of small ones that I know of.

You get thunderstorms, we get an oven. I went out at 9am yesterday and it was already too hot. Going to be like that today and tomorrow they say.

Its over 80 already here. I'm gonna eat a bagel and power through for at least another hour. I declared war on the blackberries trying to take over my property. Been cutting them out for about a week now.

I watched it joe. CC owner was a bit miffed at the end in regard to fresher horses. Cant really blame him for sour apples but was that really the time to bring it up? I dont have a dog in this fight, er I mean horse
Personally though I thought he held him back too long. Still a nice race

That owner may well have a point, but he looked like a big whiny a-hole I thought. I'm with you Hank, at least let the dust settle and let the winner get their props before throwing the tantrum.

Ya, I completely agree. I thought it was funny when his wife told him something to the effect of calm down and he turned around and told her he didn't care. Sure he will regret that interview. Still a great story behind horse
