Yup. We saw that last night when the marine layer was pretty much non-existent. Today is noticeably hotter, and the forecast I saw last night said it will last until Thursday.

Anyone heading down to concours de lemons?

I got accepted to show my 75, but I'm not sure I want to make the journey without at least one more truck nearby during the drive just in case something goes south

It wasn’t too bad. I not in through the fender well and was able to reach the glow plugs fairly easily. Had to replace the harness though, because it broke as I removed the first boot. I still need o reattach some of the looms to the well covering.

here is the forecast for the next couple of days, still not as bad as last August though.

It was hotter at this same time last year. Climate change is real. Global Cooling. We are headed towards the next Ice Age.

Maybe, but I will not live long enough to see it. Wednesday and Thursday are going to be over 100 here, but then not another day over 100 until next Wednesday. At least that is the current prediction from the local weather guessers.

Yeah, yeah... horse pollution causes flowers!

Just a fair warning Jim. You're using a trademarked phrase from a taco joint in Wyoming (tacos in Wyoming?!?!)

If the tortilla has other ingredients, such as garlic butter & salmon, is it still a taco?

And the real question on everyone's mind today........did Bill Clinton go to Epstein Island?

I hear that the island was not such a good place. I'm not a fan of Epstein. And that Fredo guy from CNN is a nut who should not have a gun.

Why does today feel like a Monday? Sitting here on a conference call and wanting a couple of Adult beverages. Thankful to be working indoors with it being at the high 100’s.

It's alcoholism. Every day feels like Monday.

Just don't go to Fresno for a taco. Taco Tuesday can be deadly there. Man died at a taco eating contest.

A Fresno attorney was arrested for sex with a young boy. She was arrested at LAX. She represented children in family court. Things just get weirder and weirder.

I'm sure that Fresno is a nice place. Plenty of nice people.

Back to me having a Monday drink in San Francisco, where leather pants are the norm, and nothing is weird.
