Hot enough for ya?

GrantMO · Jul 9, 2001

It's been right at or over 100 degrees for the past several days here and downright miserable to be outside. With the humidity added in it makes me yearn for those days when it was just 89. What's it like where you are?

cowboydoc · Jul 9, 2001

Little cooler here Grant but not much. The heat index has been at 115 the last couple days. Got absolutely soaked today though. Didn't cool it off one bit!

It's been cooler than normal here the last few days, about 75. We've been right under the jet stream. This means really hot, then a nasty thunderstorm, then really cool. Just last week, it was 89 here and 100 miles to the north it was 68 - with a large band of hail storms in between.

Just east of Toronto, Canada. Low 80’s, Lake Ontario is 50 degrees on the surface. Air feels like 70 degrees. Now to get fish to bite /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif and I’m ready for a month of Vacation./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Lows in the mid-70s; highs in the high 90s; newspaper this morning says we haven't officially hit 100 yet; normally have 15 days of triple digits; 56 last year. We expect nothing but miserably hot for another 3 months./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Grant,

Been unseasonably COOL /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif for the last couple of days. Went down to 38 degrees the other night. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
Definitly not the ideal beach weather. Mostly a mix of sun and showers. Breezy, high's in the low 70's.

85 and 90 here in Michigan. Guess I picked the perfect weekend to install insulation and have my head shoved up by the bottom of the roof. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif.

Very bizarre weather this past week or two. We had a couple new record lows in the low fourties and the last two days it was up in the low nineties. Supposed to be hot and humid the next few days as well. Time for some 4-H training on my bike... Hills, Heat, Humidity and Headwind /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Last week, I saw thunder clouds gathering to the North. Lots of thunder and lighting, but went over my place with hardly a drop of water. The next day I had a job In KIrby, a little burb near Randolph AFB and about 10 miles North of me. Water was standing everywhere.
The following evening There were storm clouds moving in from the south. More thunder, more lighting, and again no rain. The next day I went to visit my mother, about 8 miles south of me. She had 3/4 of an inch in her rain gauge.
I dunno, it must have been something I did in a previous life. We have been in the mid nineties, slowly going up. From now until about October, our only chances of rain will have to come up from the tropics.

South Central Oklalhoma has only been about 100 for a few days until today and next couple days of 104. Whenever I think the air conditioner in the lil 'bota isn't doing all I wish it would while digging trenches with the FEL (I know they make backhoes but it was either a cab and A/C or a backhoe, take your pick, they are mutually exclusive with the L4610) I open the door to get out to do some lil trivial thing and nearly die before I can get back in the cab and cool off. When I first got this tractor there was some little dust bunny or something plugging the condensate drain line so water would pour out of the ceilling and drip on everything including me. I blew it out and now it drains fine. I might have to pinch that drain tubing off with a clothes pin or something to get the condensate to drip on me again, would probably feel real good.

Bird · Jul 10, 2001

Yeah, rub it in, Patrick. Wish I could afford an air-conditioned cab tractor. 98 degrees out there right now and the heat nearly killed me today; did some drastic tree pruning in the yard and hauled 5 trailer loads of brush to the back of the property. At least it won't take as long to mow the yard tomorrow as it's been taking.

Bird, I won't say "tell it to the marines" as it is my wifes fault. She gets a voice in large purchases and was totally hard over for a heated/aair conditioned cab. She approved a backhoe too but haven't got that figured out yet as according to Kubota with the L4610 the cab and backhoe are mutually exclusive. I have emailed a query to every backhoe manufacturer I could locate via web search detailing my equipment and stating that I would be willing to compromise on size/capability of hoe but got Z E R O replies in 2 weeks. NOw that tends to overheat me!

Bradco is working on a backhoe for the 4610... my understanding is that it is coming in the foreseeable future. Don't give up yet. I'll let you know as I hear more.

Matt

patrickg · Jul 11, 2001

Matt, Thanks for the heads up B U T unless they engineer to fit the L4610 WITH factory cab I'm no further along than with Kubota. When I get time I will come up with something even if I have to buy plans and build it. After all I've seen backhoes built from kit that go on the back of a standard P/U truck.

Patrick in not so hot, maybe only up near 100 today, south central OK.

P.S. It is extremely clear to me why dogs like to get under the house in summer. I put down Visqueen (sp?) plastic sheeting for the plumbers and I to crawl on due to soft mud (from 2 1/2 inch rain a while back). Laying on the mud under the house feels 15-20 degrees cooler than on the ground in the shade at the end of the house.

Snell · Jul 11, 2001

Sorry I wasn't clear... I mean that Bradco is working on one for the Kubota cab series... they already have one for the non-cab models.

Matt in 65 degree, rainy, northern NY

YA bloody (*^&**%ing HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt, you have made my day. It may be so expensive I can't even look at it on my budget but at least there will be one and a chance...

Oh caloo calay what a frabjous day! (Appologies to Lewis Carol, mathematician and political satirist)
