I don't even know what to say; And I thought restaurant kitchens were bad. Take care, Lee.

Too Cold to be Lazy!
Here in northern California we've got the marine layer pretty thick and it's keeping coastal temperatures below 60 in some spots and we can't get out of the 70's inland. Seems we don't get real summer weather around here anymore until September and October. We've had "pleasant" temperatures nearly the whole summer so far and that is for sure nothing to complain about, but it would be nice if mother nature would let it feel like summer, and some of my heat loving subtropical plants would be happier too.
I sure hope the night & morning overcast conditions don't screw up viewing for the Perseid meteor shower in a few more days. This seems to be a concern every year.

LOL.........116...yep that's hot but that doesn't compare to the 157 degrees on the top floor at the plant i work at. i work for an electric utility here in the midwest at one of the coal fired power plants....Our plant is 16 stories tall and to go up to the 16th floor in this heat would be suicide. when the elevator doors open it literally takes your breath away. Thankfully i have been filling in for one of the turbine generator operators this week and get to sit in an air conditioned control room........Whew, am i ever glad! The control room is on the 4th floor and you walk out into the plant it feels like you're walking into one of the furnaces.

EEEEEK!
94°F here, with heat index of 105°F. Headed out to mow the yard. The ditches are STILL flooded from the rain.

Oh man, DAD, that sounds just awful! Looks like everybody's going to need the insect repellent with all of that standing water around combined with perfect evening flying weather for mosquitoes.
Any chance of a pic of you out there shirtless standing by your trusty mower? You WILL be shirtless, right? (eg)

Global warming?
It rained here again this morning.
NYC closed down again. Public transportation, roads the whole nine yeards.
It seems that rains are now faster and more furious. Prior to 5 years ago this city did not ever close down due to rain that anyone I know can recall.
There was a tornado watch this morning. Again, unheard of even a decade a go.
Mother nature needs to be allowed to heal, methinks.

Heat Index
OK, so I'm at work, sitting in my comfortable 70 degree room next to my servers (that stay at 65 degree's year round) and just had to find out what the heat index was for 116.1 F @ 69% humidity. NOAA was more than happy to oblige....

I came home from work today hot and sweaty and decided to freshen up. Went into the bathroom, turned on the hot water and took a warm shower. After that, I did a load of warm laundry, then walked into the kitchen to cook some dinner. UUH....the water heater isn't even on!!!!
Yep, that's right! It got so hot up in the attic that it heated the 60 gallons up there to sufficient temp for taking a shower and doing a load of laundry! Now that's what I call saving energy!

Jackson, Sudsman (Lee) works with hospital laundries.
I'm one of the people who can't stand hot weather. 75 degs and I start to sweat and melt. We've had weeks of high 80's and 90's weather as well as humidity. It wasn't too bad in Calgary because it's arid so 85-90 wasn't that uncomfortable, now I'm back living here it's awful. There's no way ever that I would live down south where it's even worse.
Hi appnut,
The Calypso currently has me stumped. I plan to continue working on it when the temperature cools down a bit. I ran it with the new balance ring and it is "shaving" it. Next thing will be to remove the inner basket and see what I can see.
I am very hot natured and really suffer this time of year. I only venture outdoors to go from whatevery building I'm in to the car and back. My laundry room is off my garage, and not air conditioned, so the painting project for it to celebrate the Calypso has been put off too.

heat broke this morning here
its a nice dry 64 degrees.
Before that it was terrarium weather! You look out to dark dark cloudy days with humidity so high you can see it grasping around the bushes and trees. At 93 the "fog" feels like steam almost. Even the shade is hot.
When you peer out into to this world You expect giant toads to coming hopping towards the window any minute.
I dislike terrarium weather immensely.

Two days of rain and today it's shooting back up to 91F - should feel like a terrarium here by noon! Saturday and Sunday will be up to 99F so you'll know where to find me - INSIDE very near this!
Wow

It's been cloudy and cool here
Hopefully it will warm up soon although I'm sure some of you
would enjoy this weather compared to the heat some of you are
suffering through. Here's the 10 day forecast for the Portland area.

The ehat is also giving us trouble with our transmitters-and its HOT working in one to fix it-working against hot parts is no fun!The tubes and other parts store heat and takes a long time to disapate.So far one still down but working on it-fixed one yesterday.A bad circuit board-probably heat related.

I'm outside working on a storage shed that I'm building. Temp is 100 degrees with 45% humidity (thats low humidity for here, folks). I work about 20 - 30 minutes, then come in for about 20 minutes and drink lots and lots of water. Honestly, we usually don't get to 100 that often here near the coast. Tomorrow is supposed to be 103 - hottest its ever been in the eight years I've lived here, and I'll be roofing the shed - with black shingles! Oh, Joy!
To think, 20 years ago this month I was in basic training at Ft. Bliss, El Paso, wearing dark green battle dress uniforms in the 115 degree heat (at least it was a dry heat). Amazing how an extra 20 years can change how well you tolerate the heat!

Currently it's 98 witha "feels like" temp of 107. Forecasted high is 102, the hottest day of the year. All the rain is gone, which had kept temperatures down.
Relatively nice summer weather here now, August usually is more comfortable than July with the sun thankfully not setting at 10pm anymore there is less time to heat up the city. Now I get to look forward to my most favorite months, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan are the ones I look forward to and enjoy weather watching the most.
About 3am on Saturday morning we woke up to huge constant flashes of lightening and loud thunder that last almost an hour. I just love wild thunderstorms, granted they are more fun when they happen at 7pm so you can watch them coming.

Yesterday we went to see the Harry Potter movie at the local IMAX.
1:50 minutes into the movie, the theater goes black. A few minutes later the house lights turn on and a guy comes in the back of the theater and tells us that the theater is now running on emergency generators and that if the power doesn't come back on within 10 minutes, they will issue us readmittance tickets good for a showing on another day. Well, the movie never did come back on.
The worst part about this is that we have to sit thru the movie again just to see the ending! Oh well. Maybe we'll catch things in the movie the second time around that we didn't see the first time.
What I thought was kind of neat was that the theater had about 80% of it's lighting on during the power failure. Usually in places you just get a light or two during a power failure. But when we got out of the theater, the IKEA next door also didn't have any power as well as all the street signal lights.
I guess when it's 102F outside, the power grid really takes a beating!
BTW, has anyone here seen this movie in the IMAX 3D version? How good are the 3D effects? The movie quit just before we got to that part.

Ohhhh we are just about to get slammed, the lightening is just starting to get intense and the storm is still 30 miles out! I LOVE THIS!

South Florida Humidity and Heat!
It is funny--we are warmed by the Gulf Stream in the winter, and cooled by it in summer down here. Temperatures in Miami/Fort Lauderdale hover around 85 degrees more or less year round, with a significant drop in humidity during the winter months. Summer nights can actually stay in the 80s as well; winters they are in the 60s and 70s.
I am a person who loves hot weather, which is one of the reasons I moved here, but this summer has been brutally steamy and unbearable to the point where I wont leave my house until late afternoon on some days. Even then, it's still excruciating until after the sun sets.
