It's boiling hot, and not even noon. I need to move to Minnesota. I wonder if the Minnesota Chapter will accept my request for transfer.

I may have done this wrong. According to She Who Shalt Not Be Named, pants are now cut over the ankle to show the shoes and socks. Now everyone can see that I wear white socks.

You guys crack me up. We have 80 at 3am, and you are calling that hot?
Currently 98 here but will go to 102 by the time I go to church tonight.

When it rains it pours. Since the shop has my truck, (I think it is their week for custody) now the scooter has decided it will stop working. I used it this morning to go to the store, and it worked fine. However, now that I want to use it to go to church it will not engage the transmission. The wheels came in, and the repair will be here tomorrow morning to install them, so I will have him check it out. I need that scooter working. One good thing about it is I can stay indoors with the AC on instead of puttering around the church campus in 100+ heat.

Jim, at least there was a small silver lining.

I took the 6.0 down to the folks to help them with some computer stuff and saw this at KOER , didn’t think to look at KOEO. No need to wait for the glow plugs to cycle after a 24 hr cold soak.

Rob, this one is for you. 😁. I actually burnt my hand on the ignition switch on my Ford Ranger in Fresno the Summer of ‘92.

I too am so done with summer. And summer isn't even officially here yet. Waiting on the repair guy to arrive. Can't go anywhere anyway. At least my AC in the apartment works!

The perfect day. In the 50's. This is why we can't grow much in San Francisco. Most plants want to be over 80. My cousins in Stockton are always growing great crops. By this time of the year, they're already harvesting. Which is what is expected in The Valley. I get pitiful returns in comparison.

I bought a fruit picker. Declaring success. Got the first loquat of the season.
