The nose on the Grand Nationals, Gran Prix and 442's were ugly IMO. 6 minutes ago, Jimmy Snacks said: My wife was visiting her mom today and found this picture of my MIL and late FIL....had no idea they rode sleds back in the day.

ckf Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 What a difference AC makes. It's warmer inside than out, but it feels 10 degrees cooler inside because of the lower humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we get a little reprieve from the humidity in northern New England tomorrow before the really hot humid air arrives for Friday and Saturday.

jammin Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Morning- 76 / 71 and holy fawk is it hot and humid. Weather gal said heat index of 110 is very likely today and tomorrow. In about 12 hours the lake should feel pretty damn good. Individual therapy was great and mom is doing pretty good. Good day folks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat index for Kansas City today is 111° . It will be interesting to see if we hit 90° or above on Saturday. We haven't made it to 90° in the past 5 summers that we have lived here. 1 hour ago, steve from amherst said: Already warm here.

Back in the day 8 meters was a drop in the ocean for some of the pours I was on, but then again, we were building pools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will Run short about 1.5 meter. 8 meters is plenty when your shovelling, raking and towelling by hand. a cubic meter is about 10% bigger than a cubic yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
