Man is it freakingg hot! We are in the tail end of hot azz days. I was outside last night and it was 94 with a humidity of about 90%. Anybody been working on there stuff in this heat. Days like this cause me to wish for a nice 40X40 garage, with AC.
-Havent been driving my truck b/c its so hot and the darn gas prices are so high. Thanks for letting me vent, Fall will be here in about 30-45 days. But im sure we will be wearing shorts still.
peace

I hate our snowy winters and summer is too short here. It's been cooler the last couple of days and we will be back in the 80's Monday. I wish summer would last longer.
I've had a family crisis so my toys have been sitting idle most of this summer

. At least I still have them and will give them some love soon hopefully.

Been in the mid 80's here, but my shop is insulated so it hasn't been to bad. As i get time, i have been working on a 32 hudson 4 door town sedan. I hate the thought of winter coming, we get our asses kicked up here, -40*f below type bullshit.

That must make for a rather short cruising season? Bummer...

Agreed we still got a lot of heat left. Hit one show this am had close to 200 cars, then we had our car club meeting and cook out, we all hang out at a members house eating, drinking beer, and shooting pool, then another show, For The Troops, so, i had to make that one too. I got my share of sun today. Turned a black shirt and hat white with salt, as I sweated like a nasty hog all day. In about 6 hours we will be at another show at the Twisted Tavern.

Ya we had our share of 100+ for over 30 days. Now that summer is almost gone, we are finally getting liveable, driveable weather. Upper 80's to upper 90's. And rain. Had a storm that blew in this morning that was supposed to go north. But I guess Nebraska had to have a last blow and sent it our way.

Yeah, it's still burning hot in Vegas. I'm pretty excited for it to cool down a bit. I'm a dirt junky so riding season will be back in a couple months. I'll be heading up to coral pink Utah to fix a riding itch next month. It sure would be nice to drive the Coronet farther. It gets to hot to fast & my fuel pump wants to lock up on me.......

Have you tried a 1/2 grapefruit when the fuel pump wants to start not working?

Never heard of it oldskool, tell me about it....

I remember in 56 my dad had a 54 Caddie and we went from LA to Vegas. Well we were going out to the damn and the Cad overheated. We had to wait a while till it cooled down. When it did we went to the nearest grocery store and dad bought a grapefruit, cut it in half and put it on the fuel pump. The Caddie never Overheated after that. And I have heard of that a couple of other times.
Another Oldskool trivia.
