I dunno....with all the old bass turds around here "BRAAAAAP" could just mean "you fart". JS.
A little cooler theses days, down to 92-ish. But the humidity is still in the 'sticky' range. Good when moving, instant sweat when not.

104F yesterday. And that was while moving at a good pace.

Naw, she was doing the air throttle thing when she said it.

Gee, I wonder where she got that from?

Had breakfast with a Vet this morning. No complaints about the weather from me.

96 yesterday when I pulled into work at 2:30 pm. And sticky humid, guessing about 70%. Never did rain tho, that was a surprise.
I've been to Bartlesville in July. I didn't like it......So I've successfully pulled off the rear tire from the FJR, and I'm getting ready to swap it for a Pirelli Angel 'A' Spec GT. I looked at the temperature because it's really starting to cook inside my garage.
Bartlesville, OK (74006)as of 3:25 pm CDT
96°
Sunny
feels like 109°
Yup 109 Feels about right! Stay hydrated my friends.
97F with a heat index of 107F
It feels like the devils armpit out here right now...counting the days down until we can get to Montrose!

I finally got ideal conditions to work on the catamaran this morning....73 degrees F and 36% humidity. I completed the final sanding of the hulls by reflecting sunlight at high angles onto about 6- feet of hull at a time. This let me smooth out the third coat of the 2-part primer perfectly with no brush strokes or imperfections. I then washed down the hulls and floors of the garage to eliminate dust and put on my first coat of Interlux Perfection 2-part epoxy finish. This stuff requires full Tyvek and respirators since it contains Hexamethylene Diisocyanates. The results were stunning! Supposed to get hot this weekend, but I hope to finish my second coat tomorrow.
This 1984 NACRA 5.7 cat had holes in the hulls and was leaking and looked bad. I re-glassed the bottom of the hulls with Kevlar fiber and faired out the holes and crazing. This is the cumination of nearly 2-months of work. Finishing the primer using sunlight reflected with a mirror and finishing to #400 grit:
First coat results. Harley riders would be proud. This paint reflects like chrome, but tons of work.

Nice project, Tom!
84 degrees F and 20% relative humidity at the 4:30pm PDT peak. Not a cloud in the sky and a faint breeze through the trees here at 3,000' elevation. Sanding, painting and staining in the nearly finished downstairs addition today, instead of being out on the bike or at the golf course. Still, it's pretty hard not to be grateful for days like these. (Not to worry that the watch on the local roadways is being ignored -- I suspect that my aging neighbor, Bugnatr, is or will be out on his Katoom this afternoon.)

111F indicated on the bike in motion today. That has to be partly due to direct sun and heat soak in the concrete. Stopped for gas and ate two salt packets and gunned a quart of Gatorade while fueling. All the better to ensure that more refined libations were well tolerated when I broached the garage fridge upon arrival. I've got pt test (no gear) and annual recert (in full gear) at the end of August. Merica.

Starting to feel like summer is winding down as the sun takes some longer angles, and I can hear the high school marching band practicing over the hill. Our weather as been great, but between all the projects, sailing, lazing by the pool and other priorities, I have not put on the miles I had in mind this summer.
I think I need some adversity. Bet I won't be disappointed.

88 and sunny with a slight breeze as I look out at the ocean whitecaps rolling in here at Myrtle Beach, SC.
No I don't need any adversity. Enough of that in the world and I've already had my share.
Loving the blessings before me...definitely not taking it for granted.
