Good morning all, I hope your weekend is going just dandy for you. Right now it's overcast with the humidity (23%) and dew points (47°) high, but not high enough for rain. I'm guessing that the humidity will drop below 10% after the sun has been out for a while. Forecast calls for around 107, typical for this time of the year. The weather gal on TV was showing this huge blot that encompassed all of Arizona and parts of other states. Turns out it is a "high", which means more heat and no rain for the next few weeks with temps forecast around 115 for later on next week. Our power bill just showed up, over $300 for June, it can only go up from there with the A/C turning on every 15 minutes or so.

Good Morning Blue
Overcast skies this morning, hi will be in the 70s.
We are finally getting a few tomatoes from the garden, so nice to have a real BLT.
Nothing from the train store, but my usual chat with some of the guys last night.

Not likely to happen as this is a semitropical to subtropical area depending on what part of the state you're in. Here we're at a point where the semitropical/subtropical zones meet. Hot, wet and sticky are good words to remember.

Yeah, for us here, anything over 10% in the summertime is considered sticky. Dew points in the 60's says that it will rain... somewhere...  Right now there's no rain in the forecast for the next few weeks, yet I wonder what was going on when I got some sprinkles on the windshield as I drove back for the store. :? I'm sure it won't be a heavy rain, but still.....

I'm going to the ER. I do believe I have gangrene.

Good evening all.
The work day went by fast, even with new trainees causing all the trouble lights to go off and machine shutdowns due to improper loading. I think next week will be a busy one with the back to school ads then by October the real busy season will begin with all the holidays ads clear into January of the next year.

RB, hope you can get that healed up soon.

Good morning everyone, nice clear day outside for us, not a cloud in the sky, so I'm assuming that means no rain for now. Now that doesn't take rocket science to be able to forecast....  Back in the late 1800's, early 1900's, Yuma, Arizona had so many sunny days that there was this one hotel that had a big sign in the side of their building, "Free lodging if the sun doesn't come out today", or something like that. The weather was on their side for way more than 300 days of the year. Even today, of the 10 most sunniest places in the US, four are in Arizona, and Yuma leads the list.

Well, since he was heading to the ER, we can only assume that he is still in the hospital. And yes, our prayers are with him and hope that it's not serious and that he'll be back home soon.
