110 in Phoenix today
The dog days of summer have really kicked in. Now is the time all you guys with snow in the winter can laugh at us here in the desert. I finally wised up and installed a 24,500 BTU LG window A/C unit in my 3 car garage (had to mount it low so you can't see it from the street - covenants). It cools it down quick. This buys me a ton of weekends back that I normally couldn't even think about getting in the garage. We won't even start talking about electric bills. At least it's 220V

Hey Matt, My son and I are dropping the '89 5.0 HO motor in his '70 Mustang this weekend. Besides the motor we are converting to a 5 spd manual w/ cable clutch, Master Power brake conversion, A/C kit, etc, etc, etc, needless to say my '69 has taken a back seat for the past number of months.
BTW:How are the firewall plates coming?

Don't have that dry heat here. 95 degrees with 95% humidity feels like 110.

I had the AC slot put in my 3 car when I had the house built. Bought the unit ahead of time to make sure that all of the measurements would be correct, and installed the unit the day I took possesion. Took about a year to convince the homeowners association that I didn't do an unapproved modification.

The top of it is just below the 6 foot block wall that all of the homes have on each side and around the perimiters of the back yards. You did it right, running wiring for 220 in the attic was a PITA. I didn't buy new so no choice for me.Here's to staying cool - calling for 110 again today but a cold spell comes in later in the week - down to 105!!!

. Ahh the good ol' days. We used to have a lot of fun out there. Nowadays, Chandler, Gilbert, and Mesa have grown up a lot.
But that sun's still hot as heck this time of year

Sounds good ... 110 ... more than anyone bargains for.
Let's just remember this moment when New England gets 2 feet
of snow next winter and it's 65 there.
Today brings beautiful, dry, sunny, 80 degrees to mid-New England.
Hey, at least you don't have to shovel the heat.

I live in the California Mojave desert, transplanted from Chicago. I'll take summer heat all year long instead of being couped up half the year back east. It's 105 here today and I still got in 3 sets of tennis and was able to drive my Vette.

82 here today, but I haven't got any tennis in for 3 weeks because of rain. Todays storms have passed though so hitting the pool soon.

76 sunny and dry here in New York. Had the Vette out with the T_TOPS OFF soaking up the sun and the cool breeze. Cruised around for about 2 hours and really didn't want to put her back in the garage.
It is supposed to get real hot here over the weekend. They say it might hit 90!!!! It is a wet heat though makes it feel like 92.
