    If yoouse guys have been following the national weather you know that the NY area is in a heat wave that has been deemed dangerous! :eek: Yesterday we had temps in the mid 90's (Long Island) and 98 in NYC. With the humidty at 80% that "real" feel is 105 ish. I did my usual 5 mile walk at 7am it was about 75 f and 80 % and came home soaked. Lost about 20 gallons of sweat. I had to ride to the HD dealer to get a new front brake light switch that shorted during the monsoons riding to Laconia. By the time I got my jeans and t-shirt on I was soaked again. Got the switch and started to change it out. Found the original one actually wore a hole in the end of the button! got soaked again. Went to hide in the den with the ac cranked for the rest of the day. Went out at 7pm to wash down the bike and got soaked again. One day and three showers! Man, I was never so clean.
    Today the temps are gonna be even higher! I guess Houston's and Miami's weather has moved into New Yooork. Makes me long for the dry heat in AZ. New Yooorkers who never experienced the AZ heat make fun of it "oh yeah man, It's a dry heat" "right, BS". They don't have a clue. They think this is better. :gah:

    Well, the wage earner (aka: wife) needs another 4 years in order to collect some pension. After that... ;)
