Stay safe out there in this heat.

Weather is looking good here, haven't seen the 90's in over a month.

The recent heatwave was pretty uncomfortable for a lot of people. Look at these temps! Sorted by temp - 116 F at the bottom.

Not sure I'd call that "good" but "some like it hot"..

Well it beats the heck out of 110. I myself prefer about 65 to 70.

Yep!! Is your climate dry at least? 100 with low humidity is hot, but 90 with 80-90% relative humidity is just miserable. That's typically how it gets over here on the east side.. Sunny and 75 would be just perfect!!

Low 90s here this week also.

I actually was going to load up the kayak and head to the reservoir for a day or two myself but the wife is sick and I hate leaving her alone when she is.

My mom went drinking with her friend back in 2016. Pops just got a brand new truck..... I got to wipe it from the inside of the door. No doubt alot when inside the door via the window track.

In 2011, Mrs. X and I went to Rhode Island for a Christmas party in my fairly new car. Mrs. X apparently had way too much red wine. As we got onto this really spirally interstate on-ramp, the windows didn't come down fast enough.
We drove over 2hrs home with the windows up because it was in the 20's that night
That lovely aroma took six months to completely go away.

Got out on the water today, but it was a bit too windy for kayaking, and way too windy for fishing. However, it was a warm and sunny day. So, it was still felt really good to get out for a couple of hours on the water.

Well hopefully you can laugh about it now? I'm sure that was a quiet ride once the "storm" was over?
Clearly it was "your" fault for driving like an idiot?!

I'm busy trying to make some cicada flies after trying ones from Amazon and catching a bunch of bass with them. They were 20 dollars for 3, and fell apart after a few fish, lol. Figured I could whip up a silicone mold and use expanding foam for the body and print some wings on clear vinyl. Still gotta make a mold for the silicone legs yet.

Not too bad. I need to use denser, flexible foam, this was just some rigid stuff I already had. Just gotta tie the legs and wings on.

The toxic Algae Bloom on Brownlee Reservoir has put a halt on my fishing for awhile.
