#1 Heat index today barely made 100 so I was able to get 3 1/2 hours of grass and brush cutting done. I seem to get about 45 minutes per quart of water...

I envy your mountainous location in Northern GA

We had a typical Mid-eastern Ga 102 day with a heat index of 110 yesterday.

It's that time of years again, when some of us put a frozen bottle of water in our Mail boxes and raise the flag, for the Mail person.

#11 I believe I recall Camp Doha, Kuwait got up to 129 in 1999, but it was a dry heat. So hot the locals cancelled the camel races.
