What did you do today...
More like what am I going to do today.
As its the only good day for us this weekend (supposed to rain saturday and sunday), I'm heading out on the bike for a couple hours now that we finally have it and its roadworthy.
Damn thing's got a bad alternator, unfortunately. Buuuut, it's got a kick start, so we don't need an alternator. ^_^
After that, I'm stuck in the saddle of the lawnmower for an hour and a half. Hours upon hours of being on a machine, whether two wheels or four. Gonna be a good day.

Yeah, but its a dry heat

Geez alou I hate that phrase ^^^^ Hot is hot!
Out here in JP, hot includes an overwhelming amount of humidity. The grossness a person can accumulate on their clothed body in a mere 10min in the weather out here would be comedic if it wasn't so miserable.
Be cool

You tell 'em shorts!
- proud and unrepentant to be driven nuts by a disgustingly sweaty and unbreathable 81 degrees! In the UK, and without aircon 81 degrees is not nice.
There! that's my sunshine macho defended and you lot sorted out.

LOL
What I can't figure out is why I'm so hot yet I have no tan
I grew up on the Gulf Coast of Texas - tans were base coated by May. The olive skin...sun kissed hair...cool lipstick shades to compliment the complexion....and the crazy nail polish to really set off my flip-flip wearing toes.........ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I sure do miss real summers
And "72" constituted a "cool front"

OK Ninj, you want a humidity fight.Ninja Geoff wrote:lol, you guys suck. It's 63 degrees here... WITH 93% "procreating" HUMIDITY.

It is a pleasantly coolish day today here in little old south-central Albion - a mere 56 degrees AND 93% humidity..
The Met Office are forecasting rain for the next few days.
But when the temperature does decide to rise, today's humidity will not necessarily drop. We have had temperatures into the 70s and 80s with 93 "procreating" percent humidity. That's what being sandwiched between the North Sea and the Atlantic does for you.

LOL Nothing 'New' about it, at least as far as the humidity is concerned.
