104 in my neck of the woods on Monday. My well melted down last night (again) so I won't have water for another day or so (again).

Pooping in the back yard like a dog is so HOT! FML.

102 on Sunday and 107 for Monday. This is some bullllllchit!

The folks that have been in my house know, but I have a large 2 story atrium / sunroom that is the center piece of the house. It's on the west side and after about 12 noon, the sun shines directly into it until twilight. It's a major heat sink and the last time it was over 100 outside, it was 127 in the house. There is no escape, save the master bedroom with window AC. My girl and dogs are all hating on me right now. So I reiterate that this is some bullllllchit! I hope all the science deniers melt down into puddles of stupidity.

The well dudes should be here mid morning. Fingers crossed that I'll have water soon.

So how ya'll going to cope with this mess? I feel for the Portland folks.

I see they have E'claw down for 111 on Monday yet Crystal Mt is predicted to be 87, I may move to the Mountains.

I'm going to water the garden at 6am, then get in the house and spend the rest of the day inside tomorrow and Sunday. Same with Monday, only "inside" will be at work, rather than at home.

Fish on...

By a stroke of luck my house has central air. It was installed before I bought the place.

I hope my eye surgeon has A/C and gets a good night's sleep before next week's surgery.

115 here tuesday

not fun outside.
good time to have a 145,000 square foot cold room to play in that never goes below or above 34 degrees.

I will be swimming in the lake a couple blocks from my house. It’s still cool feeling in June, but August it can be a little warm and slimy.

Unusual year, the weather over here will be cooler than on the west side. At my actual house it will be warmer than Spokane though, I'm just about 1,000ft lower in elevation. The cooler weather over here has happened several times this year.

Installed a new super efficient HVAC system last August, it keeps the house cool effortlessly. These new high efficiency Mini Split systems are amazing.

And the water our front looks very inviting.

We’ll be hanging here doing Puppy Dog Watching and nanny work.

The pack’s main dog trainer , feeder, and poop picker upper, will be out at Dewato running /judging a field dog trial all weekend . Aka Wife.

Much too hot for my support at the trial, so I’m home with the pack of pups. The house and dog runs are outside next to a small creek, so when itz too hot outside, the hotdogs and I all run laps in the creek to cool off, then inside to stay cool.

I’m predicting 99.9 here as the high for the weekend, and keeping fingers crossed it don’t go no higher!

Take Care out there and stay as kool as possible.

PS. I will also be crafting a proper sales pitch & price to present to Todd on behalf of my .410 pump gun he so desperately now needs!

Temps on the coast will be in the low to mid-70s all weekend. Time to learn how to surf (or maybe catch surf perch)? So far, my plan is like Todd's.

Where's Illahee? I'm sure he's claiming Global Warming...

Might hit the beach early in the morning to see if I can get a resident coho for the bbq.
Big tides this weekend. -4.2’ today. That could yield some great boat launch viewing comedy.
The other option is to sleep in and drink beer.
I need to thin my tomato plants. Damn things look like bushes and are loving this hot stuff. Can do that in the shade of my garage.
As a PNW native, I hate this [Bleeeeep!].
I’d rather rust than melt!

My well has been fixed on the cheap and just in the nick of time. Hooray! A bad breaker in the sub-panel was the culprit. My main panel was mis-labled and I shut off the main breaker to look at the pressure switch. I went to test the switch and got a big fookin' spark. Just about hooked myself up on that 220/240. Sonofabitch! I could kill the previous owners.

Stoney - my tomatoes, along with everyone else's are happy happy happy. They've exploded over the past 2 weeks, along with the peppers. My lettuce and spinach are not so happy, but with a fresh drink of well water, they'll be just fine.

This type of heat is actually pretty dangerous for PNW'rs. Most houses don't have AC like they do in southern climates and us pasty white MF'rs have thick cold weather blood. Not good.

Stay cool, hydrated and safe out there in this bulllllchit!

.

It feels pretty decadent to have AC in coastal PNW...you need it about 5-10 days per year...but it feels pretty good to have it right now. It's been blasting at my house all week...but even with that, the four rooms downstairs, half of which are at least partly below grade, are cold...three upstairs rooms are perfect, and the biggest one facing west is still too warm.

Not complaining, by any means...it will sure be a nice place to hang out on Sunday and Monday after work!

Fish on...

Todd

lol, 5-10 days per year. That's the justification all of my neighbors use for not having AC, we use ours a lot more than that.

I think you being fat bumped the degrees a bit.

Supposed to be 117 here on Monday...


Fun..

Better drop that package weight down to 50 during this heat wave.

Hotter than the forecast for Wenatchee even. Not sure where "Here" is, but hope ya got central air! Very thankful for the "renewable PUD power" we have access to as well.
