Too hot today.  That was for sure.  Took the red bike the 20 miles or so to a paint shop to pick something up.  Passed two thermometers on the way through town.  One showed ambient 105 and one showed 104.  Hot wind.  Hot hotness.  Bike did fine on the little jaunt.  I nearly wilted.  Think I'd rather do 30 degrees than this.  I know I'd rather do 45 than this.

No doubt about it, Don...there's no way to get cool when it's this hot, but I can usually put enough on to stay warm.  This chit is miserable and I'm tired of it!!  Can't even get a bit of rain to wet the dirt down and cool things off 3 or 4 degrees.  The A/C systems all have their tongues hanging out just trying to keep up.

It really was a miserable nearly hour's ride.  I was stupid enough to make it worse too.  Was in a hurry, little time to spare, so did something I just never do.  Hopped on the bike with a pair of shorts on.  So it was hot on the outside and broiling on the inside.  Likely have never before looked so much like a chicken doing a forward facing strut as when stopping at stop lights this afternoon.

Black Flag again tomorrow. The local news just said the heat index is going to be 121º!

Can't be! It sure seemed like paradise when we were there.

Talon...since I can't afford a double wide, can I just get a single wide and park in your back yard?  I could live with the cold/snow in the winter, as I would just go fast down the ski slopes and park the scooter.  I promise I'll keep your scooter Glared, fluids fresh, etc.  Suzanne and I aren't much trouble.... ;D ;)

Oh, don't rub it in.  104 her in Oklahoma today.  Heat index will probably top out at around 110.  Forcast shows a cool down for tomorrow...only 101.

I need to be stinking rich so I can spend the winters in Cancun and then come to your house for the summer.

You know, I might be able to afford to do that if I would stop buying $expensive$ bikes and all the chrome stuff. :nixweiss:
