WOW ... that's putting it mildly , but it gave me something to complain about. And get this I have a friend at the FAA weather dept. He told me we may get "A trace" because the storm in the Baja changed direction , I hope it rains cat and dogs cause its dry, dry , dry here. Last race my weather station had us at 6152 adjusted with at 102 with a whooping 9 % humidity....hahaha Did I sat dry......



Fingers Cross


HAVE THEY CALLED US YET ? THEY HAVE!!!

Nick only 95° here yesterday.

But you literally sweat just standing still, the humidity this time of year is really bad, especially right after it rains (which happens almost every afternoon) then the sun comes out.

It's so Hot

Anyways, it's after 7:30 Monday morning and I've been organizing the shop to get ready for the week for the last 1/2 hour, let me go dry off in the A/C before customers start walking in the door...………..
