all you guys complaining of the heat can eat shit!  [cheeky]  I've been on exactly one ride so far this year. I would be happy as hell to be sweating under a mesh jacket right now.

It's resonable complaining though. You've got to understand that the overall trend this year is significantly hotter than usual. That's why I pointed out that we're setting record temps day after day.

Yesterday at junior's baseball game it was damn near 90 degress and the wind was gusting 45-50 mph! Can't tell you how many times the ump stopped the game for a moment because he and the players couldn't see because of the blinding dust coming off the field. All the parents of the opposing team left their 3rd base bleachers and came over to our 1st base side because they were get sand blasted something terrible! Yeah... what happened to spring?

Then a big ass line of thunder storms blew through last night. It thundered and rained like crazy from 4-6:00AM. That was the first rain we have had in months. Last good frog chocker we had was last November on election day!! And we just set the driest (maybe it was the 2nd driest [roll]) March since they have been keeping records. Not a good way to be heading toward the normal hot and dry summer. I've been running soakers hoses around the foundation of my house since February! Don't usually start that crap until June or July.

I'm blaming it all on the BP gulf oil spill and the nuke trouble in Japan! [laugh]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

I just got back from Orlando, FL.  It was  80-85F while I was there!  It's currently nearly 70F here in mountains ~

Perfect 70s weather this morning riding in to work. That is until I hit the highway and the wind hit me. Nearly blew me off the road. Should be back in the 80s or so this afternoon.

Haven't you learned by now that it's not smart to take your bike out on the highway...
