Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Richard Bridge Date: 09 Jul 10 - 05:00 PM I'm loving it here in the UK, but heat-soak into the cabin in the turbo Volvo (turbochargers DO run hot) is making me think about getting the aircon fixed in that. Mostly I hate aircon, it makes it too damned cold. Oh, and my gardener (who DOES have Raynauds syndrome, so is useless in the winter) nearly keeled over last week. Problem aggravated by refusal to drink water from a beer-glass... |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Bobert Date: 09 Jul 10 - 05:12 PM Another steamy one here in Pine Grove Holler... The three horses went thru an entire bath tub of water in two days... No, Capt'n... The horses don't come in the house... The bathtub us outside in the horse field... But nevermind them horses... Yeah, it was hot and felt extra good 'cause thr humidity was real high... Yezzir... My kinda weather... Other than gettin' stung my a danged ground hornet I purdy much enjoyed my day weeding and mulchin' and moving watering oscillators... I like it when yer clothes get so saturated with sweat that they are soaked... Then a little breeze comes along and it feels like air conditioning for a second and then it's back to heat and more heat!!! So... ...put another log on the fire!!! B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: maeve Date: 09 Jul 10 - 07:27 PM You've never seen a spare bathtub used to water critters? Works a treat! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Jeri Date: 09 Jul 10 - 07:31 PM I haven't moved much since sometime before the 4th. Not counting work, with it's air conditioning. Tomorrow's supposed to be cooler, though. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Bobert Date: 09 Jul 10 - 09:14 PM I ain't "havin' us on" 'er nuthin'... I love hot weather... The hotter the better... I love it steamy, too... I mean, drippin' steamy... I love playin' music when it's a hunnert and the humidity is so thick ya' gotta use a chainsaw to see the audience... I love the drippin' of sweat from my head down on the geetar... It's like art... But I ain't crazy... It's all about mind over matter and if ya' don't mind then it don't matter... Heat??? Shit's been around for a long time... That's why they call it a solar system, ya'll... Mean, ya got this bigass fire ball, called the sun, in the middle of it... Ya'll want the sun to go away??? Start a petition drive... Maybe that 'ill work fir ya'z... Meanwhile, I loves it hot and I loves it steamy... Yezzir... Hot and steamy... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 10 Jul 10 - 06:24 AM It got down to 23C around 5AM, with about 90RH. The sweet smell of my pine trees minded me of the times I used to spent up Kent County and I started to itch thinking of the billions of skeeters. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: kendall Date: 10 Jul 10 - 02:04 PM Hot and steamy is good in their places, but the weather? We aint used to that up here in God's country. Well, anyway, if you like it the hotter the better you won't have a reason to mend your ways. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 11 Jul 10 - 01:29 PM Pick my first cherry tomatoes today. Mmmmmmm. Got about 150 coming on one plant. Had my first Early Girl too, but gave it to Mum. Had my first Scotian a few days ago. Mmmmmm. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: frogprince Date: 17 Jul 10 - 02:30 PM Still plenty hot enough for me; my browser says it's only 86 in town. I dunno about that; we don't have a reliable outdoor 'mometer right now. My wife just went out for a few minutes to pick up small branches blown down Thursday, as I said I planned to mow lawn as soon as I paid a couple of bills. She came in soaked in sweat and told me to mow later after it cools down some. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 17 Jul 10 - 04:06 PM 35C, 42 Humidex. Hot enough for me. Add in the overweight and out of shape factors and I would be dead without AC. I know it's hotter elsewhere... just glad I am not there. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Bobert Date: 17 Jul 10 - 05:33 PM Only 93 here today... Oh well, at least the humidity was way up to make it feel like a hunnert... Spent most of it weedin' and mulching the vegetable garden... Yezzir... Good thing to do on a steamy day... I love it when everything is drippin' wet from sweat... I mean, from yer sock to yer ball cap and everything in bewteen... My kinda day and that's what we got... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Joe Offer Date: 17 Jul 10 - 05:48 PM The last couple days, it's been right about 100o here at 2,300 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Christina and I took a bit of a hike on the Tahoe Rim Trail yesterday, at 8,100 feet. It was downright chilly in places, and absolutely beautiful - lots of wildflowers, and quite a bit of snow. Skeeters were bad in places, though. Still, it's very nice to be able to be able to escape 100o heat and drive to snow in an hour. My 95-yr-old mother-in-law lives with us, and she really suffers in this heat. We have to watch carefully so she doesn't get overheated. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 30 Aug 10 - 01:55 PM Last week was wonderful. I had hoped the full moon would bring a change that would saty but were in day 2 of around 40H. grrrrr |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 30 Aug 10 - 03:26 PM We have had one warm day (30C) this summer. Please, send some heat here to Alberta. Overcast and damp and chilly again today. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 30 Aug 10 - 05:25 PM You can have the rest of my hot days, Q. I am tired of this summer. Of course, I have a feeling this winter will be a long and nasty one after the great winters we have had for a couple of years. The moons are lined up that way... but it could go either way, just like this heat wave. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Bill D Date: 30 Aug 10 - 06:43 PM We had one LONG snowy Winter followed by one LONG hot Summer.....I'm ready for 'average' to ease my fuel & AC bills. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 31 Aug 10 - 02:25 PM I forgot, or never knew, and forgot that I never knew, where yer to, Bill. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: ranger1 Date: 31 Aug 10 - 03:02 PM He's just outside of DC, gnu. Hey Q, you can have the rest of my hot, humid days, too. I'm so ready for this summer to be over. I don't mind the cold, can always put another sweater on and my heat is included in my rent. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 31 Aug 10 - 04:11 PM DC... you really did get dumped on last winter. We, in the Banana Belt of The Maritimes had the mildest and lest snowy winter I have ever seen in my 42 winters here. So, I expect we'll get back to being The Icicle Belt soon. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Ebbie Date: 31 Aug 10 - 10:46 PM "Icicle Belt"? Sounds downright chilly. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: pattyClink Date: 01 Sep 10 - 02:23 PM I am pleased to report that after a horrendous summer with 90 days above 90 (most of them hovering 96-98 with high humidity), we have now had two consecutive days where the high did NOT go above 90. It is positively nippy. AAAAaaaaaahhhhhh. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 01 Sep 10 - 02:31 PM Ebbie... I gotta a pic for you. I'll post it on Flikr and post the link here. Patty.... oooooo... that is unacceptable! Where are you located? I want to avoid ever going there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 01 Sep 10 - 03:02 PM Ebbie... this is the male I feed in the winter. The pair has been staying here through the winters as she is injured and can't migrate south without her. I have great pics and videos of them. I also have one video of hundreds and hundreds of them in the trees and on the rooves in spring at dawn before they continue on. Since the pair has being staying all winter, this is where they they stop. Amazing to watch. http://www.flickr.com/photos/15565423@N05/4948623123/ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: pattyClink Date: 02 Sep 10 - 12:05 AM It is now 76 degrees in Jackson, Mississippi, and headed for a low of SIXTY-EIGHT tonight!! Wow, that feels good. We have had a really unusually hot summer this year, like many places did, just relentless. And to be fair, we had a delightful fall, winter, and spring where we kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and drop it did, and hard. Let's hope summer lets go for good this next week. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 02 Sep 10 - 01:51 PM 36C in the shade. 45H. Come on Earl! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: GUEST,999 Date: 03 Sep 10 - 10:33 AM It`s got to the point where even beer don`t help keep the heat at bay. However, I will keep trying. My momma didn`t raise no quitters. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: maeve Date: 03 Sep 10 - 10:38 AM I confess I'm feeling a little concern. The last 2 big storms were exciting but also frightening for me in our caravan/camper. m |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 03 Sep 10 - 11:10 AM Doesn't show any warning or cone reaching you, maeve. What does the local forecast say? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 03 Sep 10 - 11:16 AM 999... I bought some extra beer for Earl today. I find it doesn't take much beer to keep me cool. Of course, I am typing this one metre away from a 13kBtu Danby. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Sep 10 - 11:27 AM Here in North Texas this summer registers as one of our hottest in record. It was in the top 10, possibly now in the top 5. Many weeks over 100o. I left on Aug. 14 to drive my son to Tucson, so it was hot and dry the entire way, though we saw a lot of the monsoon-style rainstorms in the region and got a few drops here and there. Tucson was in the 104 - 106 range, and then I drove back had slightly cooler temps one day as I drove through overcast New Mexico and West Texas. But when I got home on Sunday, Aug 19 the weather was saving the worst here for the last. As I drove east I could feel the high heat aggravated by the humidity, making it feel like a pressure cooker, and then on Aug 20 it hit 108. We've had most days over 100 since that day, but not so high, so comparatively speaking, 102 isn't nearly so bad as 108. This weekend it looks heavenly - I see a prediction of 90 and 92, making it seem just balmy. There is one night this weekend with a low of 60 - we haven't seen that since May. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 03 Sep 10 - 01:32 PM I ain't not never goin ta Texas. I feel for you SRS. That is extreme. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: maeve Date: 03 Sep 10 - 02:00 PM Gnu- The local forecasters have backed off from expectations of heavy rain and moderately strong (30-45 mph) winds, so I'm not quite so much on edge. The high ozone levels and ongoing temperatures in the 98-102 F range all week make it very difficult to breathe, so that is most likely one cause for my discomfort. As far as storms go, one good strong gust could land the whole camper in the foundation hole. The important question is, of course, "What will become of our hundreds of tomatoes and the just ripe melons? :D Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 03 Sep 10 - 02:29 PM The trailer is not lashed down? You'd better get the help on that right away. If you were close by, I could get some rebar and chain for you reeeal cheap. Melons? What kinda melons? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 03 Sep 10 - 06:47 PM Take care, maeve. You've picked enough possessions up out of that hole already without having the trailer take a header in also. I tend to enjoy big storms, as long as they aren't so huge to be destructive. SRS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: GUEST,999 Date: 04 Sep 10 - 09:06 AM Keep us posted please, Maeve. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 05 Sep 10 - 11:22 AM Thanks Earl... from humidexes of 40 to 45 for a week to 20C, 55%RH and 30 to 45kph. Down to 10C tonight. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Sep 10 - 06:02 PM Now it's not hot at all. It's cold out there. This thread has lost its relevance. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: maeve Date: 05 Sep 10 - 06:22 PM We're fine, thanks. Melons are muskmelons (Halona) and Sugar Baby watermelon, gnu. And rebar & chain wouldn't begin to hold this camper if the right wind came along, but it's a kind thought. I don't usually worry about storms; I feel wicked vulnerable now, living here with the gaping hellhole right next to us. All is well, and the garden is thriving to the point of jungle; full good things: Click to see garden pictures- Mudcat gardeners on Google The "Maeve's Vegetable Gardens-September Page has the most recent photos. Thanks, friends. Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 05 Sep 10 - 07:28 PM maeve... rebar and chain would do just fine. Matter of fact, if ya got any cedar down near the river, screw the rebar. Just some chain. Four turnbuckles would be nice but not really required. If ya ain't got any cedar, well, any hardwood will do ya ten years or so. A cousre, iffin ya only get 25mph outta the rest of the storms like ya got from Earl, no woirries. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 18 Sep 10 - 07:50 AM Earl did one heck of a job. 5C this AM. Haven't seen that in mid-September for years. Yesterday, it was, again, went, windy and 10C. The daytime temperature has been mid-teens most of the time since Earl. I STILL refuse to fire up the furnace so it's sweatshirt and hat as I type. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: Little Hawk Date: 18 Sep 10 - 01:22 PM It's cooool out there today. Not bad, though. The birds seem to be enjoying themselves at the feeders. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hot enough for you? From: gnu Date: 18 Sep 10 - 01:47 PM LH... they are fattening up for the trip south. Two seasons eh?... blackfly and snow. |
