    103 here right now but we're on a break from the monsoons and the humidity is 14%. We're good for another couple degrees before the day's over. Until 110 its only warm here. I enjoy the AC but my Harley didn't come with it so I also get to enjoy the extra hot highways with an aircooled engine. As long as we're moving its fine but that long stop light at the end of the off-ramp can get the inner thighs medium rare.

    It's 93* here at 17% humidity - looks like no rain tonight.

    Mark, your anecdote about your dad reminded me of my own dad. He worked for decades in the auto parts business in stores with no AC and ineffective fans, then would come home and work in the garden until dark. Now that he's 87 years old and has bad circulation, he stays cold all the time and relishes going outside and sitting in the 90 degree/98 humidity atmosphere. He's driving my mother crazy with wearing long-sleeved flannel shirts and sweaters in the house in mid-August and turning off the AC when he gets "chilly."

    Bingo
    Like sittin' on a gas grill
    I often wonder how the air cooled twin can take it. I've thought about swapping my dipstick with a built in thermometer style, but I'm afraid to know the answer, what I don't know can't hurt me, right
