It was 120 in Palm Springs yesterday, nearly 100 in Big Bear City (at over a mile in elevation), 106 in the high desert (Apple Valley & Lucerne). Too effing hot...

EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM PDT SATURDAY...

WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with high temperatures of 95 to 105 below 6000 feet and 85 to 95 above 6000 feet.

WHERE...San Bernardino County Mountains and Riverside County Mountains.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

But...it's a DRY heat!

Seriously, hydrate often (before you become thirsty) and don't work outside in the heat of the day if possible. Hence, I was up at 6 am today forming and pouring a concrete pad for the mini-split we're having installed for Mrs. 966Cab's "crafts room". Temps were in the low 70's F when I started, mid 80's F when I finished 90 minutes later, with a dewpoint in the low 70's F.

Meanwhile, the A/C to my home office is out...

This heat seems to be early this year. I wonder why...

Yeah 115 is only not normal for us in June. That's normally a late-July maybe early-August game for us. 106 in Nebraska (in June no less,) is going to have a big effect.

At least the lake isn't running dry.

Oh, wait.

I see a "No Flush" order in the near future.

My urge to head to Vegas has, ironically, cooled.

Or paradoxically cooled. I don't know. I'm no Alanis Morissette...
