Default Its Too Hot...

Went to our club's local monthly cruise-in tonight...20 or so of us braved the 100 degree temps. I took this picture at 6:30 PM

Someone's got to soldier on. Hopefully me and a few of our Columbia guys will be braving the heat at a big show in Independence MO this Saturday.

Good job and keep up the good work.

First off, I won't even consider driving my car right now. It's just too damn hot out there.

Second, there's a show in Idep. MO? Vette's on the Square?

Yeah, tomorrow. Curt and I were going to go but it looks like he has to work and it'll be too hot for a show anyway. It looks like I may not be able to make it either.

You all need to move north! Big Corvette America show here tomorrow and it's gonna be a sunny 86F. Still hot for me, but I'm going. I couldn't do it with your guy's 100F though.

It's actually around 110 after heat index and humidity and such.

It just really sucks this time of year.

Yeah, you can laugh at me in about 5 months when it's 10 below here with a couple feet of snow and my car is hibernating. I don't know which sucks more.

I've been Iraq for the last couple of months. Trust me when I say 100 degrees is a nice day.

Wow that's hot, I would be worried my car was gonna melt

BTW it's a nice 74 degrees out right now up here and the sun is shining, I'm kinda worried it might hit 80 deg.

THANKS!!!!!


When I drove past the bank this morning at 7:11 AM, the clock read 83*, and I had 2 large corner-lots to mow, trim, and edge an hour away:
it is currently 98* with 67% humidity, but I don't know what the conditions were while I was bustin'-my-hump from 8:30 AM until noon, nor do I want to know.....

The humidity has been fairly low the past few days...normally when it gets this hot the humidity is around 249%...
