  • Griping

    I'm filling in for Peewee here.

    I just washed Vanna the '99 Ford raised roof van using one of those extending car wash brushes and now I'm WHOPPED! Some times I forget how old I really am and I just got a reminder. Doesn't help that it's 90+*F outside and about the same dew point (scuba gear would not be out of place out there). I like hot weather and if I'd been standing around drinking a Caffeine-Free Diet Coke (my beverage of choice) I'd have been good with it but that wash brush works you HARD!

    Enough whining for now.....

    ready to thrash an old frame rail like a rubber twig... just needs 90F for a few days.

      Long Beach has only had a day or two over 80 all summer. I think we are being rewarded over our concern about the climate and the rest of the WORLD is being punished... Should be an interesting hurricane season. 7.1 quake, in the middle of nowhere and no fatalities save for one truck falling off jacks. We are blessed.

          That sounds gripe worthy. We're on our way home from Vegas. Sun is near the horizon, thermometer says 106. Ac in the Tahoe is working just fine.

              you know I predict cali with what maine does.
              a strange thing I have been doing since learning sun cycles... about 30 years.
              no doubt a coastal thing... just opposite ends and flows.

                  yup, although it's starting to be rainy season, and the humidity is creeping up over 30% in the afternoons.

                      What, me gripe? Nah, I never gripe. At times I have projected a perhaps negative opinion about a real situation, but I've never griped. It's all based on facts. Measurable things with opinion and perception involved, that's all it is.

                          I've been tied up with other things. Just to fire a shot over the keel for general effect.

                              I am about 2 hours inland from Dan and it is gripe worthy HOT here. 98 here today with a feels like temp of 106! It is supposed to be this hot for the next 10 days. Washing the car is ridiculous as water, soap etc dries before you can rinse, dry etc. Grass crunches when you walk on it. Oh well, it could be worse. We could be fighting hurricane winds and rain or the like. I try to remember when gripping that somebody, some place has it worse off than I do.
