Weather forecast:
Today and tomorrow: 99
Thu we "cool down" to 97
Fri:100
Sat & Sun: 102
Not a cloud forecast in any of it. I'm not seeing anything I even remotely like about this. I already glow in the dark from my afternoon at Medina Lake yesterday. Gunny's new skin color is this.

Going to cool down here nice by tomorrow. Today is supposed to still be up around 90-92, but tomorrow storms and much cooler, for the rest of the week.
Been up for at least an hour, had Fox News on, had the sound on for maybe 5 minutes of that time, been on MUTE since. Time to sync with the Microsoft bluetooth doggle on the TV and listen to my weekly Spotify picks.

That looks like the rest of the week for here. It's only May in WI, it's way, way too hot. We set new record highs yesterday and the day before, and stand a good chance of setting another one today. We'll be getting back to normal, in the 70's, Wednesday... storms.I like this kinda weather.

Been up since 5. You don't REALLY think I'm going running at noon when it's in the 90s? I may be a dumb jarhead, but I ain't THAT dumb. And since Mr Useful is taking care of himself, I'm still on the hook for breakfast and getting everyone out of here. I was back before they got up. Civilians

This is July weather for us. LOL, last time it did this it rained half of Jun and July and screwed EVERYTHING up.That looks like the rest of the week for here.

Otherwise, looking like a long, extended summer. The water nazi's are are already foaming at the bit.

I'm glad my ceiling fan is not an old-school metal ones. I couldn't tell you how many times I've stuck my hand in the damned thing. You'd think I'd have figured out was there by now.

Muscle cramps, light headed, dizziness... I'm sure you know the signs of over heating. Gaterade, lots of it is your friend if you're going to do anything outside, not pop or beer.Been up since 5.

The one in my back room hits the door. I can't count the times I open the door too far and BAM, BAM, BAM... why I can't remember not to open the door that far when the fan is on is beyond me. Must have a one track mind.I'm glad my ceiling fan is not an old-school metal ones. I couldn't tell you how many times I've stuck my hand in the damned thing.

The fans do help though. I have them in every room but the bathroom. Reverse them and turn them on and you can feel them suck the cold air up. Helps out the central air quite a bit I think. I've been real comfortable in here with it set on 73.

Yeah I know the drill REAL well. The worst Hell on Earth I ever ran at was Parris Island. When they call it a swamp they aren't kidding. It's like running with a wet blanket on your face. And of course I had to go to drill instructor school in July. One of my more "genius" choicesMuscle cramps, light headed, dizziness... I'm sure you know the signs of over heating.

The flight line at Nellis AFB could get pretty hot. When it got over 120 degrees they'd call code red and you had to work 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, and the expediter trucks had a few 10 gallon Coleman jugs filled with iced down Gaterade and huge straws. Just wave them down and get a good drink. I saw more than one troop collapse. Never heard of anyone dying though. I was born in July and my Ma likes to remind me that it was super hot in the delivery room when I was born. Maybe that's the heat never really bothered me that I recall. It bothers me now that I'm older though. Somewhere between 65 and 70 degrees with low humidity is just about perfect for me.Yeah I know the drill REAL well.

There's different kinds of "hot" and it determines physical activity. In the hi desert, you could run in 110 degree heat once you were acclimatized. You get less oxygen and can't breath after a quarter mile. Here, it's heat AND humidity and you best know what you are dong if you're outside doing physical activity or it will kill you.
I'm too old for all that crap. I've half a hair-brained scheme to try and get up at 5 and run every morning. No traffic, no people, grandkids aren't awake and tearing anything up yet (school's out in 2 days), not too hot yet. Everything is right about it except the getting my ass up at 5AM part
