First of all; congratulations on the new home. We know how much work that involves so you need not make any excuses for your absence
Summer here has finally started in the last couple of weeks. Heck, I even washed the iX Guess what, it's almost red underneath all that dirt and grime. I may actually have another go at polishing the pink out I think it is quite everywhere on the E30 front since our favourite chariots are getting long in the tooth. Mine just turned over 250,000km; I figure it's good for another 500,000km if I treat it well |

Younger guys, too. This stickiness just plain sucks. Most summers, we'll get humid stretches that last for a few days to maybe a week. The one we're stuck in now has been going on for well nigh a month now. Ugh. It's not been oppressive humidity (I don't know HOW people live in the south), but it has not been comfortable to be outside for quite a while. The air conditioners have been running practically nonstop, if not for the cold then to dry out the air. I usually don't complain about the weather, and heaven knows back in pre-A/C days they had it much rougher, but man, I am not a happy camper lately. The long-range forecast doesn't look like it will improve (read: dry out) anytime soon, either. Dewpoints look like they're staying in the mid-to-high 60s for the length of my local forecast. Have I said "ugh?" As for the high temps in Arizona, well, I spent 9 years in NM, and I would MUCH rather have temps well over 100 in the desert than have high 80s to 90s here. The desert is hot, but it's very dry. Drink water and stay in the shade and it's tolerable. o I used to leave work and it would be 115, and even then I wouldn't use the car's A/C, just open the windows and I'd be fine. Go in the shade and the temp drops tremendously. That said, 122F is still damn hot, but I would take it over many of the days we've had here. Around here, you just can't escape the humidity. Triple ugh. Cab 1990 325i(s) 2004 325XiT |
