Maybe that was it.  I swear he said it was 1200 bucks/pound though and I needed 4-5 pounds of it.  Either way I will do a little research on this.  I'm looking at September when it isn't so hot out anymore.

Your biggest issue is going to be with the supply chain.

Dear Heavenly Father,

 

Thank you for answering my prayers for warmer weather that I asked for back in January. I was patient and never doubted you.

It’s almost like you’re back in Carolina

I think I'm going to hang it up for a while. The heat and humidity are getting too brutal. I've done some night fishing and found tons of bait fish and catfish, but the bass appear to have moved off to deeper parts of the lake.

 

There's an area that I want to try with some deeper water and shallows, but it's about a 2 hour pedal on my kayak just to get there. I'm so disappointed with the fishing here right now I'd hate to make that journey and get skunked.

It really has been brutal.

Fishing in the morning with plans to be back home by 10am.

Oh, near 100* this weekend ?

Heat here is a different kind of heat… I’m not entirely convinced it is better. Seems less humidity, sure, but the sun can bake you from all angles. Lots of open space until you get in the woods and then it is just muggy.

 

I think hot is just hot

It’s hot and very muggy where my in-laws are from in northern ohio. I think you have to get to Wyoming before it lets up haha

Not quite that far.  Once you hit the Dakotas, its not very muggy anymore even when its 105 degrees.  Here in MN it can be down right tropical though.  Could use a little rain.  Actually could use a lot of rain lol.

Today makes the 24th day we've had of 90 or more degree temps. They say our average is 25 90 degree days a year. We have a bunch more 90 degree days coming. Now they are saying we might hit 100 or more this weekend. We desperately need more rain. The rain we have gotten hasn't helped much since the heat is evaporating it before it can do much good.

Up here in the Twin Cities our average is 13 of those 90+ degree days/year.  We're at 12.  Friday will probably make 13.  The good news is that more "seasonal" weather is on tap next week.

I spent more time last week in the attic then I should have trying to deal with hvac air handler issues. A few days it had to have been 115-120* in there. After 16 yrs the system is done and we are getting all new tomorrow, our savings is crying right now! Hoping to put a few hours in on the kayak Friday.

Looks like we will get a break starting Monday. Temps are supposed to be in the 80s with a decent chance of rain every day next week.

Here is the updated drought monitor as of this morning.  Significantly worse than just a few weeks ago.

Yes Sir, hit us a little after 2 am, woke me straight up and I can usually sleep through anything.

Who cares how hot it is other than the climate world ending in 6 years weirdos types. The world temps been changing since the dinosaurs were babies. Cycles it’s all cycles how many hurricanes so far this year come on people

[jbsoonerfan]

It got cold here today, I don't think it made it above 95. 

[soflabasser]

It is crazy how some Northern states have had higher temperatures than in South Florida this Summer. In a couple months it will snow in these Northern states, so these states will experience a +70 degree difference in the same year.

More than that in MN, buddy

 

We've hit a standing air high of 101 here....January 1 the high was +1 ...so 100 degree difference this year.

 

Reminds me of one Yule we went to visit the in-laws. Air temp was -25 when we left Minneapolis/St. Paul International that morning. When we landed in Ft Lauderdale-Hollywood, it was 85...110 degree difference in 5 hours.

Wow, a 100 degree difference in a couple of months, that is crazy! How do you even get used to that? I am used to the heat since I have lived most of my life in South Florida, but we never see a 100 degree difference in a year. It is rare for it to drop below 40 degrees where I live, but temperatures over 90 degrees are common.

You just deal with it.

 

Winter, you can always put more clothes on - layering DOES help.

Summer - there are days I don't go outside at all, cause you can't take off enough...yes, even going beyond propriety doesn't help.

I hope the Summer heat goes away soon in your area and normal weather returns.
