    I was able to turn down the power on the welder and still get the job gone....

    It's still over 90F and it's 6:45pm here in Columbus Ohio....

    How hot was it for you?

    We were in PA two years ago over the July 4 weekend and spent July 4 at Gettysburg for the reenactment. I have never been so hot in my life. It was a relief to return to FL. We liked PA very much though and wandered into the state capitol building in Harrisburg. Wow!
    We had no idea what a treasure that was.
    We went through Hershey and stopped to buy chocolate at the factory.
    My husband was worried that we wouldn't be able to get on the plane with all that liquid.

    Yeah it was 101 at my work today, damn it was hot. I can't even wash my car when it's that hot out. Ugh

    Must ask Santa for my own air conditioned car wash bay for Christmas. :D:aureola:

    Here in KC today wasn't too bad, we had a pretty good rainstorm last night, as much as 2" of rain, and it only got up to the mid 80's. But at least we're not dealing with flooding like Duluth is! Parts of that town got 9" overnight!

    But the heat is coming....one of the premier car shows in KC - the Art of the Car in benefit for the KC Art Institue is this Sunday, and I'd like to go - but it's supposed to 99* with about a million per/cent humidity that day. I'm going to have to pass.......

    Congratulations on the house closing Jim. Your garage looks like a blank canvas waiting for your artistic/mechanical touch. AC in the garage, wow! I leave the door to the house open & it does cool my garage somewhat, but makes the house cold like a meat locker. Babs does not like that. :frown2:

    Went for a top down drive yesterday in Not N MG, SPF 100 to the rescue. So hot though, not enjoyable in the least.

    Congrats!

    Ok, no it's NEVER too hot to wash the car! Just hose yourself down here and there while spraying off the MINI :cornut:

    Congratulations on your closing!
    May you have great happiness and good times in your new home.

    It feels good to walk out of the closing room, doesn't it? :crazy:
    Towards the end I'm always willing to sign anything, just get me out of there!

    Sorry about the heat though.
    It looks like it's going to be a long, hot summer.

    It's only supposed to go into the low 90's here.
    We're having a cool spell.

    Thanks everyone! Yes the garage is a blank canvas, just put up our two posters from MOTD for now to make it feel like home! Keep the door open? Went to do that yesterday and a black snake came in and tried to stake his claim! Got him out for now and we named him Sid (for Sid Vicious) in case he sticks around :)
