I mowed my lawn at 8:30 this AM. It was already 82 degrees and humidity at 79%

At 5:00 the heat index was 107
Glad I was sitting inside having a gin and tonic

I went and got gas in the Suburban at 8:30 this morning so Levi could get a ride. It was 85* and a bit sticky. ( not sure of actual humidity )

Not to wish my life away but I can't wait for slightly cooler weather

I had to knock off this afternoon. Heat gave me a headache from hell.
Really anxious to get the rain water collection system finished.

It was 92° in the shade here today. I stayed in..
I think that I've cut the lawn three times this summer. I would normally have cut it every five days.
We officially have a drought going on here.
The cows are even drying up. No milk ....

My lawn is mostly brown. What was green and lush is brown, thanks to the dog. Don't need to mow.

My lawn is one of the few in the neighbor that has a green tint to it. I haven't cut it in over three weeks. Yes, the weeds are a little tall ( 5-6" ) in spots but no lawn mowing until it rains.

The one neighbor cuts his every week. It looks like a beautiful bronze sandpaper lawn now.

Mid 90's, the 3 H's, heat index low hundreds. Spent all day in here in the AC, just foolin' around, wiping down the Z, consuming fresh brewed iced tea, playing my favorite tunes.............nice to be retired.

Oh I forgot, I did wash the honey's SRX early this morning.

.....and you all said there's no such thing as global warming.

2016 is already the hottest year on record for the whole world.

We've had 90°+ with dewpoints in the 70's all week here. Pretty grizzly weather, my hair is a mess.

Since it hasn't gotten hot here yet, I would guess that here hasn't seen the hottest on record.

Ride without the helmet. That'll straighten it out. Bug splats aught to help it stay put.

Believe it or not I actually found a helmet I can live with AND its DOT. I got it from Leatherup.
