I’d think 61° is cold too. However it’s so hot here, I could drive for hours and the interior wouldn’t ever get to 61°. Maybe at night, but the AC isn’t getting the car that cold when the sun is beating down. All my windows are tinted with ceramic film, even the windshield too. The sun

Maybe at night, but the AC isn’t getting the car that cold when the sun is beating down. All my windows are tinted with ceramic film, even the windshield too. The sun here is crazy strong.

Always park with your windshield facing away from the sun and don’t forget your driving gloves!

I swear I’ve gotten a mild burn from grabbing the seat belt buckle. So funny to start your car and the engine water temp gauge shows it’s already warm from just sitting in the heat.

I’ve fried my hand on the seat belt buckle a couple of times as well. You forget how hot things during the pleasant time of the year but always get a wake-up on that first burn. The cold engine light won’t show up again until October, even it does the snow-bird thing.

I’ll try to remember to send my oven mitts to you once summer is over.

Beam yourself and bike to top of any trail anywhere in the world which are all downhill no motors needed . Then I woke up.

I'm not a time machine, just ahead of my time.
There will be clear skies and sunshine tomorrow.

Great pics! Do you know why there is barbed wire wrapped around the posts?

To stop the grazing cattle from knocking over the signposts… they use the posts to scratch themselves and, weighing 900kg, simply knock them over as if they were toothpicks. That’s why barbed wire is wrapped around them, to stop them playing these pranks…

Thought a cow would like that , i sometimes scratch my back with a bread knife, only when wife is not looking.

Okay okay , I just got a visual of that process. .

I keep a water bottle brush cleaner in my bedside drawer so I don’t have to wake up my wife in the middle of the night to scratch that itch in the middle of my back. (toilet bowl brush works also).

Pro Tip; Wash her toothbrush after you’ve used it in the bike cave.

Fisherman's tale here. Lad on boat was very bad to the apprentice a 16 year old . On top of that he used to steal his sweets . So the lad would unwrap a sweet and shove it where the sun don't shine . Oh did we laugh afterwards. He had a cold once and you can guess what happened with the Vic inhaler. Revenge is sweet. You bring out the worst in me

When I was 15, I had pneumonia and my Mum insisted that I put Vic on my chest before I went to bed. I hated the sticky feeling, so I put some on my upper lip instead. I did that once and never again! I must have spent the next 30 mins or so trying to remove the Vic and get rid of the terrible burning sensation. I didn't get to sleep for ages. What it must feel like somewhere even more tender I can only imagine!

Of course the Vic of 1966 may have been a considerably stronger version than it became in later years.

1980s still strong then. I can remember him yet asking what we were laughing at. He died young of an asma attack , Vic inhaler had nothing to do with it I hope.
