Default Texas Heat

Albeit late for Texas the Summer heat is here. Last Summer was absolutely brutal, the worst drought we have had in the last 100 years. Followed by I think the wettest Winter on record as well.

it gets to 90 here and everybody starts whining and complaining like it's the worst thing ever . . . was in the far northern part of Texas for the 4th of July about 7 years ago, it was hot but with the breeze and lack of humidity it wasn't bad at all. Now Dallas in August, that was a different story .. . that sucked.

I guess it takes time for your body to acclimate to the weather.

Right now it's heating up but the humidity is awful which makes working outside tedious esp. with the mosquitoes. Changed the oil on the wife's car and my legs have massive insect battle damage.

I know I'm having a heck of a time with it. I was at the park this weekend and the kids were moving slow due to the heat. You know it's hot when toddlers notice.

It's been raining all day here as well. I was supposed to go to the river today, but the lightning put an end to that.

Nice DIYs on your website Big Bob! I think you can help more than a few people if the Aussie heat doesn't scramble your brains first!
