60 deg, cloudy some rain. I love june

plthijinx · 07-02-2005, 10:16 PM

about 105. i seriously worked my ass off today running around this tiny, overcrowded ramp. i'll try and remember to bring my camera as to show the ramp/area that i operate, for free mind you, well actually i get free airtime. oh, actually if you look quickly at the end of the take off run in the take off run video from the yak attack thread you can see our ramp just before we go almost verticle....but i'll grab a pic anyway......

oh, .MOV on that file link, and kinda big too.

Careful, you might get Lookout and I talking about what it takes to live through the summer in Phoenix! Anything under 110 is doable, after that requires more extreme measures. Look', were you there in the summer of either 1988 or '89 I think it was, when we hit 123? I'm still sorry I didn't buy one of the T-shirts from that event.

yeah but that was a "dry" heat

lookout123 · 07-05-2005, 10:43 AM

i wasn't there for 123, but i was playing flag football in 1993 when it hit 122 and they had to shut down sky harbor airport.

this weekend was beautiful. 110-113 degrees. i was never more than 15 feet from my swimming pool or a margarita.

plthijinx · 07-05-2005, 05:47 PM

this weekend was brutal. with the heat and other things. on one flight that i had sunday, i lost my vacuum pump which powers the artificial horizon and heading indicator. thank god i was in visual conditions. helluva learning experience though. i got to see first hand how the instruments react when they loose the pump. i remember looking down at the AH and it was telling me i was in a dive when in fact i wasn't. heading was way off too so i looked over at the suction guage and it read zilch.

then last night i had a sight seeing flight for fireworks, lost my panel lights, had numerous bogeys in the sky and had to deal with every redneck on that side of town shooting wannabe sam's at me. (at least it seemed that way). shheesh, it was a long night. on the bright side, the 3 major shows were spectacular!

cowhead · 07-05-2005, 06:49 PM

whimps! alright... today it's rather pleasant for Kansas in July... but we ought to be hitting the 100+ mark which isn't so bad.. it's the 98% huimidity that can be a little much.. then again I work in a kitchen, where I fully expect it to break the 120 degree mark.. soon.. then again I try to think positively about it.. some people PAY to go into saunas.. me? I get paid for it.. now where did I put that bodyfat. . .

plthijinx · 07-05-2005, 07:02 PM

maybe so but this is at 6:00 p.m.......rediculous! and i'm getting ready to go to an icehouse (ha!) and play in a hold'em tournament....sheesh. at least it's open and a nice hot breeze will be flowing through there.....

mrnoodle · 07-06-2005, 12:06 PM

I like the birds. Do the pictures correspond to the numbers? Like, that's the temperature that species dies at?

plthijinx · 07-07-2005, 09:04 AM

!!

yeah, mrN if not the heat then the west nile virus!

Trilby · 07-24-2005, 01:07 PM

Well---it's getting up there. We're supposed to hit 95 and feel like 110 due to humidity. It's miserable--can't even go outside. Whew! Staying indoors where the
A/C breathes that cool, cool air, eating popsicles.

plthijinx · 07-24-2005, 01:17 PM

i'm getting ready to go to the airport and we have an afternoon forecast of 95 with a heat index of 106. and it's humid. today shall suck moving planes around the ramp. sounds like we almost have the same forecast Bri....
