We've been over 100 in the El Paso Texas area for several weeks. But due to a weird storm cell, yesterday was in the 70s and today is in the 80s. So strange. It'll be High 90's and higher again starting tomorrow and going to infinity.  ::)

93-95 farenheit, but the humidity is relatively low as compared to previous years. I was outside 2-5pm and barely broke a sweat.

Still feels like spring compared to July and August when it feels like someone slapped my face with a hot, wet towel every time I walk outside and a trip to the mailbox requires a shirt change.

-Eph6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world forces of this moral darkness and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

It's so hot I went through a McDonald's drive through and asked the clerk to throw coffee in my lap to help me cool off...

It's so hot I left the toilet seat up, hoping for an icy glare from my wife.

It's so hot I re-arranged the items in my refrigerator just for the fun of it.

It's so hot, by the time I got home from the grocery story, my bread was already toasted.

It's a nice dry heat here in GA.  That just means 1000% humidity, but no rain.  I have to water my garden before it reaches a real-feel high of around 100 and make sure I only mow in the morning or at night so my gas doesn't boil (I learned that the fun way).

Today we had our last public pistol shoot for the summer  :'(  :'(  :'(  I'm not sure why -


This was a morning temperature.


This was about the hottest, I think.  Meh, I've been to hotter shoots.  Everyone drank water.  We had plenty of breaks.  The shooters brought Propel and Gatorade to share.  It was great!

Plenty of heat in Idaho. Just means getting up early to beat the heat. I think a couple of morning KDs with the M1 sounds about right for tomorrow.

Embrace it and it won't be that bad.  Human body can adapt to just about anything.

I've been embracing the heat for 64 years, it gets tougher every year. That said we had 97 F 2 days ago and I got in a practice AQT, enjoyed a nice, cool Paloma, then took my better half out for dinner on our 41st anniversary. It was a good day.

Low 80's today so I'm shooting a rimfire steel match this afternoon.

Just another day here in Phoenix.  This is my garage based reloading bench.

Hitting 107 today in southwest Idaho. We get a couple hours of outside work done before it gets too ridiculous.

Well, let's see....Most of the months everyone was posting in Redding, CA hit over 105 with lots of that time spent at 110 or higher.  (Yeah, it's a dry heat... ::).

This week summer makes a comeback at 101 today with some 105-107 for the next few days.  Oh yeah, our event this weekend?  101.  Thank heavens for Ez-ups!!!! O0
