HOLY SHIT IT'S HOT OUTSIDE!!! (Pissing and moaning follows)

FalconerHK · 13th July 2006

I moved from San Diego to Dallas (yes, yes, I know, I know) and I'm regretting it, at least as far as the weather is concerned.

Last night at midnight it was 98º and humid as a hocky goalie's gloves.

This blows. My electricity bill is $500 this month.

OK, I'm done. Thanks for your time.

robmix · 14th July 2006

Yeah, well it's no better here. Feeling like I'm being broiled everytime I step outside.

djui5 · 14th July 2006

It's 115 here

horseface · 14th July 2006

It's hot as hell here. Worse still, I have to be in the valley today, so it's hot and shit.

Killahurts · 14th July 2006

Holy shit Falconer, you're right!

Why don't you come over to my studio tonight, and we'll figure out a way to chill it down.

Killahurts · 14th July 2006

btw, it's that big ass console of yours that's costing you 5 bills a month, not just the AC.

XSergeantD · 14th July 2006

110 coming up tomorrow. Today it was 106 (heat/humidity index only brought it down to a feel of 104)

NesNeedsGear · 14th July 2006

man it was a humid mid 80's a couple days back here in NYC and I was swearing every curse word i know.

can't imagine you guys with 90+ temp AND humidity.

Sounds Great · 14th July 2006

About 96 today. Possible 105 in the next couple of days...

I'm in Minneapolis.

Yah, Hollywood to Austin, TX. WTF? It's sooooo M.F. hot I can't believe it.

In So Cal, you go in the shade, it's cool. If there's a breeze, it's cool. When it's night time, the air gets cooler.

Here, it's always friggin' hot.

From the valley here.
ie: Fresno

It was 107 here yesterday.. and the elevator was broken at the club we played last night.. Nothing like caring a ampeg 8x10 and SVT head up and down a flight of stairs. (sore this morning)

FalconerHK · 14th July 2006

On top of the heat, we've had like zero rain, so my friendly neighborhood water utility has enacted "madatory water restrictions", which is a fancy way of saying "if you flush your toilet more than two times a day we're gonna tax your ass with a usage penalty."

Consequently, my acre of grass is as yellow as Bert's ballsack and my water bill is as much as my electric bill.

Oh, and my weather widget shows clear skies and 100º for the rest of the week. Shit.

Good thing I have a plan:

JHOOKS · 14th July 2006

thats nothing, trying being in a subway platform underground waiting for a train(with no AC) with about 2000 other hot ass people in 98 degree heat with humidity! I LOVE NEWYORK!!

Things aren't any better here in Toronto. It's currently a very humid 91.4 degrees. Last night I left the studio space at just after midnight, and even with the climate control on (it's a commercial building), you could STILL feel the moisture in the air on the way from the office space to the elevator. Ick.

s.d.finley · 15th July 2006

You swedes have absolutely no idea what Houston in July is.

Your CD's literally melt if you leave them in the car.

There is nothing like getting in to a black leather carseats while wearing shorts in Houston in the summer.
the only thing equally painful is biking for 30 minutes to work in february in umeå.

Malmö is absolutely fantasic right now - sorry guys.

When I was a kid back in New England (lots o snow there in the winter)

I rode my bike and it was hard to brake on the ice.

I wish I had studded biketires then. So the next best thing was to take the rubber off and place spikes thru the rims

Try that the next time you have to bike in the winter!

You'll probably appreciate this. I remember watching these guys on TV when I was a kid. There was one guy who had been run over by a whole pack of motorcyles sporting spiked tires. He was pretty grizzly looking.

Not great. TanTan and I were up in Haifa just yesterday visiting our crack Russian DIY tech (me picking up my custom 1176 with 1272 output trannies), all was quiet, but this morning it kind of got crazy, huh?

REALLY hoping I'm not going to get a call to drive that army truck this week until...who knows.

I'm sure our Lebanese gearslut brothers are sharing a similar worry.

Hope this simmers down soon!

It's only begun my friend. I hate to say it, but it's true. $hit's hitting the fan now, especially after the latest rocket attacks. They just killed 8 Israleans (did I speeeeelll that right?)

I can see Israel launching a major war campaign, wiping Hamas off the map entirely. France is allready sending over military, RIGHT NOW!!
