I hope you have a toasty summer

BTW, 86 is disgustingly hot. Must suck!

Oh, not when you've lived here. Take it from a Michigan boy, 86 is just getting warmed up. Mid nineties is where it's at with a few 100+s thrown in. Just don't go below 70 or we curl up and die.

4% humidity today made it feel like 76!

76 today. Drive home from work everyday with the top down. Anything below 70 starts requiring jackets and stuff like that.

Not as warm today but I’m not complaining.



After the wife and I took a long bicycle ride we decided to drive the Jägermobile to Avila Beach for lunch. We went to one of our favorite restaurants The Custom House; we enjoyed lunch outside of course.



Then we spent some time on the beach enjoying the warm sun with all the Canadians.






Think I got a little sun burnt today.

You really like to rub it in. It was finally a sunny 42 today My wifes Honda would not start so the Box went to work, and she drove the truck.

Alright. I've heard enough. I'm coming down there.

Seriously...taking this semester off from school so I'll have 5 days off every week
Leaving for a road trip and brighter skies on Monday. Any suggestions? I'm thinking that I may just point the Box south, drive for a day or so and see where I end up

I really love So Cal, but that nice warm and dry weather is a two edged sword my friends:

California declares drought emergency - latimes.com

Good luck out there.
