Was a nice afternoon for the beach today.

Around sun set it got down to 69, I left and went home!

I like my Lox at 130*

Cooking the salmon at high pizza temps will work for those that don't
know any better or have lots of beer to wash it down.

Where is the fresh Dill ?? !!

Sigh... Thanks for the eye candy. Rocketed up to 50º here (after barely 40º yesterday and dark, with incessant drizzle) so I headed for the range as I figured this might be my last chance for quite a while. More "atmospheric storms" on the way in the PNW into next week, with a first-ever "Red Alert" for weather conditions on our side of the border. I'm safe up here on the mountain but the folks down by the border who have already been devastated by the Nooksack River flooding are in for another nail-biter. Hard to believe that just under 6 months ago it hit 103º and an estimated ~600 folks died.

It got to 114 here that day. I thought I would die. Will get an AC unit in the spring.

I don't know where you're located, but i'm glad I'm not there, climactically speaking anyway.

I'm planning to put in an "earth tube" for cooling next summer. Basically about 100' of 6" drain pipe buried about 4' down, where the earth temp. is about 55-58º according to some experiments I did this summer. I'll trench it in up to the house, then put an adjustable low-speed fan in and some 6" metal duct under the stairs to a central location. Tbe pipe will be on a slope into the north field and have a drain at the end for whatever moisture may result from condensation as the air travels up the line. Should draw very little power and require no compressors. It's a "bit of a project" but if it keeps the daytime temps down to the mid-70s or so when it's over 90 outside, it'll have been worth it. We may well not get over 100º again but the predictions are that hotter than normal summers are now likely so I want to be proactive.

Hope everyone makes it thru alright.

Floods ain't nothing to mess with!
 
I had to walk to school about 3 miles, up hill both ways.

So I’m driving up a nearby State Highway out in the Boonies.
And I need to go.
Behind a bush? No problemo!
There’s a pull off.
I see a well traveled path. Likes like folks have been here.
Walk between some Junipers and look down.
Jump Back! Rattlesnake!
Take a closer look .
Dummy Snake! What the!
