Feels like sunrise in Hawaii ##&%!
« on: August 11, 2021, 11:14:44 AM »
Man it is humid and too dang warm this early!
This must be like scooter riding in Honolulu. I'd be dryer if it went ahead and rained on me......
Flies landing on me for a drink. That kinda humid.

Tire check before heading out.... (Very scientific --- I squeeze them with my thumb)

yesterday and today are 2 of the warmest, most humid days we've had all summer! You're right, just walking outside has you dripping wet...no scootering for me today!

Doncha dare whine to me! 95°F today in West TN at 1030. Scootin' 40 miles to the big city of Jackson for a meeting and honey-do's. Mostly black skid-suit soaks up the sun at traffic lights. Very humid. Tennessee haze layer from humidity and smoke (I guess, smoke) about 5000 feet thick. Rain shower might be nice.....Gotta wash that suit!

Sunny, fresh and 21c with a sea breeze here in Yorkshire.  Lovely!  Except I’m 150 miles away from my scooter - couldn’t figure out how to get wife, luggage and 2 dogs onto the X-Town....

I rode yesterday because I saw what today was offering....."77°F and 94% humidity at 5:30AM" ~!

...and it is still dark & over an hour before sunrise!

My wife says, "you complain so about a little heat and humidity - after hitch-hiking across the USA 3 times and doing a tour in Vietnam!"

Yeah, well - that was half a century ago, Dear...and I didn't know any better.

She has gone off to work - while I'm gong to spend an hour teaching my dog to go out there and fetch back that morning newspaper!
Last time I tried this...she came back on ---  I think it was a Tuesday.

Heat and humidity is truly a bad combination!

If we're on vacation in St Pete Beach. ...it's not a problem 😊
The wind blows and a pool or the ocean  is at hand, always.

a steam bath here in Northern New England as well, approaching the century mark, don't know the humidity, but I worked up a sweat walking 75 feet from my AC house to AC office

Good news: I’ve got the sea breeze here on the Yorkshire coast. Bad news: 150 miles from my scooter!
