04 Miata

I've been watching the temp today and think it's probably going to be a record for Charleston in June. Temp has climbed to 99 right now at 3 PM. The heat index was as high as 109 earlier but as the temp has gone up the humidity has been dropping so it's only 108 heat index now.

Its ******* summer time. All of you need to man up and stop being pussies like Brain! Are you going to stop working on your cars because either the sun is out or there is snow on the ground?

I rebuilt my crx this winter in less than 20deg temps with no heat in the garage. I am going to turbocharge my miata this summer (again) in 90+ temps. Then again I have hair on my chest, *****, and arm pits. A little on my *** too!

Working on the car now, in the garage, with the a/c on, because I can

87 is the high today, we were 110 percent above what's normal in rainfall for the month of June, as of June ninth, I havent checked since then.

I love the rain, I've never seen it rain like this.

Oddly enough I didnt have any overheating issues...well the miata didnt, at least.

Until you have worn an IBA and Kevlar in 130+degree weather, you have no grounds to complain so suck it the **** up!

We had a "cold front" today, so it was only 93, but drier than it had been.

109 degrees in Kuwait at 11:00PM when I passed through there on my way back to the **** hole. I think it hit 12X degrees the next day, IDK though cause I didn't leave my tent till the sun went down.

IT is usually very humid also, lest you forget we are right of the gulf coast and it @#$#@ us up big time.

I'll spend time up there in the summers to vist my grandparents and moms side (my parents live here in texas), and it is hot, i'm not say it is not, but it is nothing like the heat here.

Side note, we finally got some rain yesterday
