It's Weather like this... and other rants.

That makes me want to leave the east coast and head west. High humidity day after day after day makes you pour sweat continually. You are constantly soaked you need 3 or 4 showers per day and you have to wash and clothes constantly. Great part is that my new Bosch washer is broken down yet again. This time its a bad pump. Now I have to wait a week for them to bruing over and install a new pump. I would do it myself but it's under warranty. I can;t believe in this day and age it takes them a week just to replace a stinking pump for a washer.

Don't forget the meteor shower!

We're into my favorite time of year here. The hot season, of mid-April to mid-June, has already passed; and now, the temperatures usually stay within the high 70's and low 80's. Despite being much farther south, our mile-high altitude is responsible for the milder climate. It often rains a little bit each day, with a brief thunderstorm in the late afternoon, or during the wee morning hours.

Your forecast temperatures are a bit cooler than here but I noticed your average humidity levels seem high, pretty close to ours.

It's quite peasant outside now. My biggest ham radio rant here would be the general unavailability of ham radio gear. What you do find, at commercial two-way radio stores, is limited and often expensive. The hams here order many items from the U.S., sometimes paying expensive shipping and high import duties. I drove to Atlanta for the month of July, and bought a bunch of odds and ends, like coaxial cables and connectors, to keep me busy until the next trip.

Not too bad, muggy but daytime temps in the mid 80s are tolerable if not a bit sweaty. It could be worse, another heatwave pushing the century mark. It's the weekend but thank the benny repellant for relief from drunken hell raisers, the Coast Guard is thankful they're not constantly fishing them out of the water. I can hear the party boat captains grumbling from here but it looks like the end of an all day storm, tomorrow is another day.

Summer will be over soon. Kids will be going back to school, days will become dramtically shorter, the air will become nippy, and rivers and lakes will freeze.

Been real muggy here the last few days here, too. Not used to the humidity and the mountain visibility is diminished.

Got a small rain earlier (first in a long time).

It's a delight going home to Evergreen after spending the day working near DIA.

That's gotta be a long friggin drive through the wilds of bad cellfone drivers, though. You have my salute.

Looks like I better buy myself a new pair of rubber boots.

Looks like I better by myself a new pair of rubber boots.

Yup ....... same here. It's always warmer and wetter in British Columbia in any El Nino....... remember the disturbing lack of snow during the 2010 winter Olympics?

An El Nino year! :-|

[N7YA]

You know something else? My back hurts and they just dont make power tools like they used to.....baaaah.....

[PA5COR]

There's a modern day invention called an Air Conditioner that will solve a lot of the problems you describe, John. Maybe not outside, but inside anyway! AND when you DO have to go outside it feels SO GOOD to get into refrigerated air! <-- tongue in cheek!

Re: Bosch....

I always steer clear of anything made in Germany. IMHO, "Made in Germany" means they break often and are expensive to fix. Never had an appliance from there but I've had several cars and a movie camera and both fit my description.

Thats the problem, if you are not in an artificially climate controlled space you pour sweat.. I don't understand what is so wonderful about summer . It's long, brutal, and uncomfortable.

Stretch those pants any more and you'll end up with a 73 inch inseam.

You're all set for a hamfest!

There's one thing about hot, steamy summer days. They turn into beautiful nights.
