The wife, the dogs, and me have spent a lot of time in the pond this summer. I haven't had any of the cars out in a couple of weeks. Just been too hot.

Did the motor home do alright Hank?

Sorry, missed your reply Tony. Yes, the motorhome did good. No problems towing the car, no more exhaust leak from the cracked manifold.

I haven't had the Chevelle out much, too hot to drive it with no AC and vinyl seats. A few weeks ago Lynda and I went for a drive, we were both soaked when we got home. Not this past Sunday but the week before my neighbor went over to Baker's. He said there was less than 30 cars there because of the heat. They usually have well over hundred if it's not a special day then it could be over a thousand.

Gee, what I would do for a couple 60 degree days and some rain. Yesterday was a balmy 110 record breaker. Haven't had enough rain to fill a bird bath let alone green up the grass. Just trying to keep some trees, small bushes and wife's flowers from turning brown. Weather man says 100 plus for the next week to come. More than ready for fall, just not winter.

We had the 2nd wettest spring on record here then nothing since the beginning of June. Like you we're trying to keep a few things alive by watering but the lawn is toast. Well mother nature tried to catch up last night. Over 6" of rain in some areas, most everyone got over 2", since yesterday evening.

It was so nice to see the rain here. I agree that it has been too hot to take the car out, especially when it is black with a black interior. We have been trying to figure out if we could do a/c before the NOCC show cause we plan on driving the car.

We turned the AC off for a couple of days because the humidity had finally dropped and the house had been closed up for almost a month. Had to turn it on this morning. It was in the mid 70's but the dew point was also in the 70's. Everything in the house was damp and clammy feeling. Feels good in here now but I have to go outside and do a few things, yuck.

Its still sweltering down here but they say the humidity is low. I beg to differ with them as we working people are sweating buckets.

I need to wash my car, but with the humidity I figure I would probably sweat more than I use to wash the car. I am hoping that it will be dry enough tomorrow to maybe go to a show tomorrow night.

Finally made the turn the last few days, hanging in the low 80's, humidity around 39%. Just right.

That sounds great, wish we had some of that. Of course you're just drying out from all the rain and cool weather, enjoy.
