    mercury just passed 104 degrees f here for all you poor freezing baskets on the other side of the world. wind is a stiff northerly blowing blast furnace air at 20+ mph. (note my conversion of the metric (correct) measurement units to the older antiquated measurements of cubits and roods...):D

    just waiting for some numbnuts to decide to mow the paddock (had to advise the neighbor that wasnt on this morning) or use a grinder, despite extensive media coverage of the fire danger, and burn us out.....could be worse...car could be frozen solid in a flood! love the weather:rolleyes:

    It’s going below “0” Fahrenheit tonight. Just a little frosty. We had a foot of snow the day before. Three months to go unless global warming might kick in with 100 degrees.

    I didn’t check the anti freeze in my air cooled bike? Lol

    I wonder if they put the data from Amerika in the Global Warming temp charts ?
    Surely -32 offsets +32 so therefore the Worldwide average temp today is 0.
