It is going to be sitting right at or a couple above a hundred the rest of the week here. Problem is that the humidity is above 50% which spikes the heat index. The heat index yesterday when it was 100 was an index of 115. You sweat but it does not evaporate. I had no problem at all with this when I was younger, can't do it anymore.

I'd rather mow my grass a hundred times than blade the snow on my driveway once.

And I love boating :D

I would think most people along those major rivers in the midwest don't want to see another boat for a couple years considering it is the only way to have gotten around for months now. Cold you can layer more cloths on but heat, you can only take off so much before parents start yanking their kids inside and old ladies start following you around and smiling! :shock: :lol: Somehow the 66 year old body just don't look like the 26 year old body did at the same weight. :roll:

Bunch of lightweights. No dry heat down here! Humidity percentage is just as high as the temps Sometimes it feels even higher.

Things are about to get really hot for the Iranians if they don't lighten up. Check the news.
