Re: The heat is on...

I have always found the thermal coil thermometers inaccurate. Few years ago while I was waiting for correct temps to paint my car, I had one that read 120* and it's location only got a tiny bit of sunlight. Actual temp was hot, but it was like 90* hot and not 120* hot

And when we are in a rain delay to start a race, you play with the computer and make pictures easier to see.
Since the thermometer was in the dark, I just decided to lighten it up with a new method I just discovered.

Hmmmm maybe I should replace that pole with a tree trunk with bark

That wave of heat is excepted to start pushing into southern British Columbia tomorrow morning and we should be seeing 30-35 c and up to 40c ( 83-104+-F) in some places, going to be a shock to the system for a few days till you get used to it.


Time to start the crew working at 4 am then shut down by noon if it gets that hot.

The bimetal was a bit off, but is the digital hygrometer correct? I'll get some lighter stain for the column... :0

You just moved the thermometer, that's not fair. I was meaning something like this, same thermometer, same RV. Just add a tree.

I don't know what your problem is dude, but I'm done with you.
I was just having fun with a picture and joking around, and what the hell did this thread have to do with Nascar posts? :facepalm:

Re: The heat is on...

Come on up Sam and Don. I have the rare opportunity of doing a job about 10 min. from the cottage all next week. Temps to be 24C-25C (that's about 77 American). Will be on the boat every evening. First one here gets the spare room. The other gets the couch.

 

[emilsr]

Re: The heat is on...

I'll gladly sleep on the couch. We had 100+ temps all week, topping out at 108. That's too hot even to go boating.

Don has used photoshop in the past, and he is good. My favorite is the Coyote & Roadrunner at the RR Crossing.
