Ha, Ha, We had a billboard along the highway here that said:  "You think it's Hot now, just keep using my name in vain."

Get ready for the milking to begin it's only going up, till it freezes.

Even at 5700 feet it's too hot here starting around 9am. I've been getting up at dawn to ride, and do yard work. Back in the house by 9.30 and then out again around 8pm. Temp drops to 60F overnight. Today we have forest fire smoke, another climate affliction.

I've always hated heat. You can always add layers in the cold but the reverse ain't true. Heat is tolerable only if I'm underwater.

Stay underwater long enough, it won't matter 🤣

Here in "Vortex-Land" (aka, Sedona), we are at 4500 feet, and it will be 104 degrees today! ("WHEW!!") At least it drops down to the 70's at night, but that is still too hot!  Thankfully, the humidity is relatively low, but we are all awaiting MORE monsoon rains in the next few weeks, as we really need the moisture!

Its still been around 90F all this week and the forecast for next week is hotter, it NEVER gets this hot for this long this far north in western Canada, and the heat dome of the previous week saw temperatures over 105F for days.

All this week I have been working outside building a deck for one of my sons, big straw hat and wearing a Cycle Gear Cooling Vest saturated with water all day to stay somewhat cool. No rain is sight.

Forest fires are starting to spring up all over the west from record lightning strikes, we are in for a tough summer!
