Wow. What a difference between inland and outland. Our high temp yesterday was 82. We went down the hill for some groceries, and it barely needed any AC at all.

good morning from the humboldt county. socked-in fog here today. probably only gonna be a high of 60-something... unless you go 1/2hr's drive inland where it'll easily get to 90-something.
another day of cleaning house and prepping for guests tomorrow as we host the after party for the blackberry festival here in westhaven.

*wishing i was back on the river with a cold beer in hand*
cheers everybody.

Yeah, only thing I don't like about Fresno is the heat in the summer time. I can live with everything else, but only tolerate the heat. Luckily enough for me, my car and apartment both have working AC's.

Bizarre weather. I know you guys in the valley are baking, but I was just checking our weather station, and the high temp so far today happened at 2AM! To make it just slightly more weird, the low temp for today was at 2:26 AM!

It all comes down to the sea breeze. We had a short off-shore flow from about 1:15 AM until 2AM, then it switched around to on-shore. Here is the graphic proof:

79 degrees would be wonderful here. Instead, we will get 101 and 103 is predicted for tomorrow.

Hey, Happy Sunday!

Just came down off of Mount Lassen from a Boy Scout Campout. Left Summit Lake at 65* and landed in Redding at 102*, headed for 108 (projected).

Now to look forward to the NWS Excessive Heat Warning for the rest of the week.

Stay cool out there.

If anyone is interested in Shelby's and Hi-Po Fords in general, the Nor Cal Shelby Club is having their annual "Mini Nationals" at Sears Pt this weekend. I'll be there with my GT350, but not tracking it since it's a 'vert. I'm going to bring my helmet and bum rides in track cars all weekend.

Anyway, there's a car show on Saturday morning and it's a lot of fun to be around the track and the pits with all the awesome vintage and modern Ford Muscle. Best of all admission is free and there's no crowds.
