My brother sent me a weather update from where he lives. Wanna trade?
I'm from Arizona so I have been right at home lately, but I have to say I sure am happy we haven't had many wildfires(knock on wood) I get the feeling that is going to be a little slice of hell working a fire in this heat...
Oh yeah, my son is up for the month, he is going to Diesel school in Phoenix, he says its like air conditioning up here LOL

Don't follow me you won't MAKE IT!
You don't know heat until you spend a few weeks in Lake Havasu City, AZ in late June and early July. I have a few friends who live there and it got up to 128 degrees in late June of this year. Like Colorado it's a dry heat but dry or not when the temp hits 120+ there are no words that can explain it. We used to ride motorcycles when it was 110+ and it feels like you're being blasted by a giant blow dryer.
NTC was easier to me than JRTC. I had a visit to Ft Polk in July and the heat index climbed so high we had to black flag two days because we hit 110+ and had all that nice swampyness to contend with. Ft Irwin got to 105 in May when I was there though. Working on a flight line in a Ft Hood summer wasn't pleasant either now that I think about it.
Not a summer fan myself. Where I grew up if it was over 85 they told you on the morning news to wait until dusk to mow your lawn to prevent heat stroke.

Best way to get in to see me at the shop is to call or email Shannon and make an appointment.
One little trip to Ft Polk made me not ever want to go there again. And I was at Benning at the time. Benning was fine for me because I only had to play for short periods of time since I was at Martin Army Hosp.
In my field it was always strange how things worked. First 6 years were TDA and last 6 were TOE and one deployment after another. after DS they tried to put me back in a Hospital and that was a big mistake.![]()
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
