It's been a hot summer, sigh
« on: August 28, 2011, 04:30:35 PM »
(DFW area here).

Ready for this one to be over. Thank the Lord for gainful employment, but lots of overtime running a furnace in Texas in August is grinding me down. On a brighter note, local weather is predicting a high of only 98 for next Saturday =)

O.K. Whine over for now. Gotta go to work (trudge trudge trudge).

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

We hit 112 the last two days in Austin.

Only supposed to hit 100 here today. We did get almost 1/16th of an inch of rain last night though, bring us to almost 6" of rain since Memorial day, about 1/2 or a little less than normal

Its going to finally break here in Htown this week.  Low ninties with rain starting wed for four days.  Of course, I was going to run the boat friday....5-6' waves predicted in my AO means no fishing for me!
