And full of gas too! All dressed up and no place to go. It's 105* outside, and humidity like Seattle in Winter.

Not my car's favorite weather ..

105 in San Diego? When I was visiting last month, I had to turn on the heat in the hotel room & froze my **** off at the Fair.

Well...now is the time to test your new cooling system.

Just got back from Orlando where it was hot, but not so humid like it is today in eastern NC. Man, I can't breathe outside. Maybe around 11 PM tonite the temp will drop to 85.

That's the truth... At least with the T-storms rolling thru the I-95 corridor it might get cool later tonight... Dave..

2 weeks of 93-95 degree weather here in Maryland. When you add the "humidity index", it feels like 103+.

Can't do anything...too hot. Too hot to work on or drive the cars. It's tough just to keep up with cutting the grass. No rain here either, nothing to break the cycle.

I'm looking forward to a cool 90 degree day with no humidity. Chuck

Had to replace the rear-axle on my brother-in-law's Ranger pickup. Started at 8:30 and I was soaked head to toe in sweat by 10:30. That's a J-O-B! The heat index was suppoed to be 105-110.

I found some cool shade under a tree and just finished washing the Vette. With a slight breeze, the humidity wasn't that bad. It's about 87 degrees now. Now for the Honda and the Jeep...

Well...now is the time to test your new cooling system.

With the dual spals, I'm running 195* with the A/C ON and with it off, normal op temp is 180-185*

That is only after it's been driven a while too! It takes it a long time to get past 160* as that's the thermostat I had installed in her, just before putting in the spals.

Next time I get the urge, I'll put the 180 thermo back in.

It's may be hot outside, but my garage has central a/c and heat. Makes it nice when I have to work on her.
