I heard it was going to cool off some toward the end of the week, but we're 77 now and it isn't even 08:00 yet. Nice breeze from the west (which is from the ocean), but the humidity is 12%. Screwy.

 

Happy humpeth day Nor Cal. Going to be another hot one here.

I get to help friends prepare their apartment for bed bug spraying tomorrow. Not looking forward to that, but they let their kids help me when I needed it, so I am returning the favor. (Actually, I paid their kids to help me, I am doing this for free).

One summer between HS classes, it got to be 118 in Lafayette.

The topper for me had to be when I was stationed in China Lake, probably during the summer of 1975: 123. That was during a stretch where it never went below 100 for about ten days; even at 3 or 4 in the morning it would still be 103, 104, 105. You can sleep, but you can't rest in heat like that and the barracks had no A/C. The enlisted were all dragging and sniping at each other; the officers all had A/C and couldn't figure out what was wrong, they thought that maybe a bad batch of drugs had come through.

The local bank outside the gate had a revolving time & temperature sign that malfunctioned. It got stuck displaying 199 degrees. That made the front page of the local paper.

The other experience with oppressive heat was in August of 1989, after we drove below the border for two and a half days. I'd had the truck's radiator redone the day before we left, and the temp needle never budged off of "C" for the whole 3,600 mile trip. After we got back stateside, we went to El Paso, then walked across the border into Ciudad Juarez. It was 122. Spent a couple of hours shopping for some Mexican musical instruments, then returned to the truck.

I think the S.F. bay area is blessed with great weather.

 

Brutal. That's the same place; Inyo Kern, China Lake, or Ridgecrest. Take your pick, except to actually try to live there.

Some programmer's idea of a joke I bet.

There ought to be a law against temperatures with 3 digits.

I'll drink to that!

 

Yeah, they're, what? Eleven miles apart? Oh, and Inyokern is 140 feet higher in elevation than Ridgecrest is... that helps, y'know.


Uhmmm... not likely in 1975... maybe in 1985... not enough microcomputers around in 1975, and that application would have not been cost-efficient if they'd used a mini or a mainframe.

I think it's called the Law of Thermalgodammics

 

Warm here today.

 

Going to be over 100 here today, but only 95 for tomorrow. Can't wait for tomorrow. LOL

Had to grab a coat this morning, truck barely started, all the diesel I have is like jelly, plants are frosted over, I lost three toes due to frostbite just walking out to get the paper, and there are icicles everywhere.


Its only 93 here.

 

LOL. Had me going there for a second.

OAT is 67.5° at the moment. Everyone is dancing in the street.

 

Greetings Everyone from the Nevada Chapter. Weather is cooling off for us on Sunday lo 90s. Love It.

 

No temps over 100 for the next ten days according to the weather guessers. Hope they are right about that.

Jim

 

TGIF Nor Cal and friends. Hope everyone has a great day and even better weekend.

Jim

 

It's a sexy Saturday here. Hoping everyone has a great weekend! Cooler temps are much appreciated.

 

Tru Dat! Still in the 90's but that is better than over 100!
