Yeah, we're chapter 42 although I'll admit we haven't done much on here, I'll send you a pm and tell you what we're using for contacting each other.

Well, I'm enjoying a lovely evening with an outside temp of 62* here in South Dakota. The high tomorrow is in the 70s. Not going to miss the 100s at all.

And I saw a nice rig outside of the hotel when I pulled up tonight. Hopefully I get to the office before he decides to hit the road in the morning. I bet that thing rides nice going down the highway...

Rides nice.... if you consider sitting on the overload springs and light steering nice?
Very nice camper. See no Cummins Emblem??

I got back last night from a delivery to a copper mine in Tuscon area.
Just as hot in the city as here but the mine (40 miles northwest in the mountains) was 20* cooler.
I'm starting to think like our President..... 70's sounds cold to me!

Someone didn't consider the ramifications of such a large trailer.

No Cummins, but it was Hemi....in a half-ton. I wonder which salesman lied to him. I didn't realize that you could tuck the rear tires into the fenders.

I'll let you know if it's too cold. It was nice driving with the windows down and no A/C last night and being perfectly comfortable.

Hey now, I brought you guys some rain and a break from the heat yesterday since I was traveling. 16 days of 100* temps and no rain, then the day I try to fly somewhere, I sit at the airport for an extra 2.5 hours waiting on weather delays. I deserve some 70* temps.

Don't trust your judgement.
Seen you too many times, comfortable in a t-shirt, when the rest of us had sweaters and jackets on!

Maybe that was the shower from earlier in the afternoon, around 4pm. That one wasn't my fault, I was only responsible for the one around 7pm.

Rain? What rain? Still hot a dry here in Richardson.

I hope the $30 extra on my water bill helps my foundation survive. First time ever the city has clipped me for over $100.

I hope he was over 6 ft tall or had a pillow in the seat so he could see over the hood. It was gone when I left for work this morning. I would have loved to see it pull away.

Normal days, about 60 feet from bed to office.

Otherwise, 41 miles to the airport.

Supposed to be in the high 50s tonight. Just might be that cold in my hotel room too. I love when other people pick up the tab for my A/C habit.
