The Coffee House

4.37 hours today and for the week so far.
No notifications so I don't know what's going on with my Sister. I guess the usual stops and then home and find out what's going on.

Had a lovely cool walk with Susie this morning, they say it is going to be the hottest Bank holiday on record today. Have a good one folks.

Hottest ... like maybe 72F?

Already 76 here, headed for mid 80's. At least the humidity isn't as bad 50%, with a nice breeze it's almost pleasant out there!

 

[Gary A.]

61F presently, heading into the mid 70's.

It is approximately 83 degrees on the back porch. No one is home and no note was left. Dad has a VA appointment at 1:30 so I probably won't see them until much later this afternoon.

I had some left over tri-tip and some homemade pico de gallo for lunch. Tri-tip is pretty tasty, and at the $4 a pound I paid for it, a steal.

I’ll keep my eye open for those sales in the future.

Normal Monday otherwise. 33 days of school left after today.

77F may not sound that hot to someone used to dealing with dry air, but with 90% humidity, it feels like hell.

Wait a while and hell will be right outside my door!

Yes, Tri-Tip is quite the bargain. Just takes a bit more prep work.

Gary wouldn't like SE Missouri -

In the bootheel of MO, along the Mississippi, during dog days of summer, the humidity can rise to the point that you can walk outside with a spray bottle of soap, and take shower while walking around the yard, then go back in and get in the shower to dry off. It can get so humid that the birds don't fly because they're afraid of drowning. It can get so humid that vegetables steam on the vine. It gets so humid you can only take one potato chip at a time out of the bag, or they'll turn limp before you can eat them. It can get so humid that your underwear and your butt cheeks become permanently vulcanized to each other.

I'm telling you East Texas ain't all that much different from what you described.

meh ... Gary has worked and lived in tropical rainforests. Gary used to be an all-weather worker. The weather is what it is and giving a rat's wouldn't make a dif ... so why sweat it. Gary has also worked in deserts so dry that the sweat would evaporate before beading up on the skin. If given a choice, Gary prefers dry to humid, warm to cold, hot to freezing. What Gary likes about SoCal is it significantly cools off at night and if you want something different, you can drive 20-30 minutes to the beach for a ten degree drop or 20-30 minutes inland for a ten degree rise. If you're sick of the beach, then a 40 minute drive will get you 8,000 to 10,000 feet up and a 90 minute drive will get you into the heart of the desert. Unfortunately, there are way too many people living here who have similar appreciation of dry.

I suspect that Gary is like me, older and a lot less tolerant to extremes in any direction!!!
