Left the 100+ on 7/3, stayed w/DD in N. GA mts for 5 days. Then on to NH for 2 wks in a lake cabin. They were complaining about the 87 degree heat wave the last few days there!! BWHahaha!
Stopped in Boston & spent 3 days at Valley Forge/Fhilthy/Gettysburg. But it was after they had their 100+ days.
Stayed a few days w/BIL in Baltimore-his son's wedding. That was outdoors-in 104!!
Good to be home but wish we could've stayed away for Aug too. Looks like we might break the 1980 record of 42 days above 100 here in Dallas area.

That's life in Texas, I guess
My friend just had 3 students from New Mexico at his horse training school here in Minnesota. Had a stretch of upper 90s and at one point the dew point was over 80. The New Mexicans said that they only thought that they knew what hot weather was before this.

Moved my daughter to Dallas today.

It was 90 in my garage at 0530 when I left Houston.

Hit 106 in Dallas.

Great weather for moving....

It is odd how the 140 mile move south (from Boyne City to Riverdale, 8 miles west of Alma) in the big Mitten changed the humidity from pleasant to oppressive.

Today was the first day that it is not expected to be in the high 80* with 75%+ humidity. Of course, it is cloudy and rainy looking.

And working in a plastic extrusion plant adds to the fun Well not really
