Was in Seattle for AAJ.   Lots of 50s to low 80s for a week.  Paradise. Ran into East Texas lawyer at Space Needle party who did not want to return. Duh.

A new page!

Next 15 days in Austin, all 100 and up.

[F250 28945]

I played 3 softball games, 1 round of golf and did some jazzercise today and didn't break a sweat.

Only drawback to going this time of year is that it's monsoon season up in the mountains. About a 50% chance of an afternoon shower just about every day for the next several weeks. Can be out riding or hiking in sunny weather, low 80's and all the sudden the wind starts whipping around, temp drops 15+ degrees and it starts dumping on you. 

Right on cue.

I guess I'll survive.

JFC, you fucking people.  It's fucking hot as shit, that's all that needs to be said on this thread.

[InkaUtexas 26365]

Meh, go get a beer and head to the river. 

I was standing on a tarmac one day in southern Afghanistan and could smell my boots melting. That was fun.

My brother and his family drove from Santa Rosa, NM to OKC yesterday. Top temperature along their journey was 117F.

Usually you have to pay a lot extra to get dumped on.

Similar thing happened to my kid's turf shoes during a summer baseball tournament back in 2011. The astroturf was radiating some serious heat.

I set the thermostat at 80 just to give my unit an occasional break. 

With a cross breeze from the cieling and floor fans it's actually pretty nice. 

80 feels pretty fucking good after being outside for more than 5 minutes.

[The Ace of Aces 5328]

94 here today, might hit 98 Sunday before we get back in the 80s. This is why I left Texas, take this shit back.

So we have dudes on here trying to "out badass" a girl w/.....softball stories?  hahaha, whooo you boys are made up of that aggy ruff stuff, real tuff, jizz jar mojo. 

Hooo, boy.  I may have had a couple last night and let the heat get to me.  

Looks like I went after some DT climate change deniers with my credentials and softball.  What a world.

[DaysOff 8005]

I’m so happy to be flying to San Fran for a client meeting. Can’t wait to get out of oven for a couple of days. 

I've got two 25 hour Anchorage layovers in August. I'm usually anti work, but will do these willingly.

Three straight days of 108/109 in Dallas ended with a “cooldown” to 101 today. 100+ in the forecast for at least the next seven days. Tracking to have the hottest summer in history.

This sucks, this sucks, this sucks …

I don't give much credence to long term outlooks past the 8-14 day, other than yeah, this summer has trended hot and no reason to see it cool down anytime soon. To see a big "hotter than normal" over the favorite landing spot of tropical weather during the month of August gives me pause. One storm could essentially knock this forecast on its butt.

If anyone wants some depression, just think that if today was August 22 instead of July 22, we'd still have about another month of this shit.

[Biff Tannen 45769]

Wildfire out by smithville, but luckily it’s small (100 acres) and 80% contained. Please no more.

You know it's been a long, hot, dry summer when you look at the extended forecast, see this, and think "hey some improvement!"

[Jiggy-Z 3469]

Live near CR 261 and 3405 in Georgetown. Were in the first group under mandatory evacuation for the 500acre wildfire that popped up yesterday near the lake. Were directly north of the fire and it was not looking good last night. Wasn’t sure we’d be coming back to a house today, but the crews working the fire did some insane work out there to get it under control.

This summer can go fuck itself.

They had a ton of planes out there. I live near Jim Hogg and they were passing over me on their path to pick up water from the lake. Wild shit.

Dammit, glad the houses escaped, but that's one of my main hiking destinations and trails are closed until further notice.

We were laughing the other evening about how nice 92 felt.
