Last Friday morning I drove to Wichita Falls to check on my step father and clean some flower beds for him. Visited a bit on Friday after I got there and then hit the beds on Sat AM. When I hauled off the cuttings the thermometer in the truck read 106. Found out later that the high had been 111.
Sat evening I drove to my brother's place in Richardson (Dallas) to pick up some furniture he had that was my Mother's. Between Decatur and Denton the thought hit me that I had a pleasant breeze coming in the window. I glanced up at the overhead readout to see a temp reading of 98!
We sat BS'ing over a couple of bourbon and waters untill about 2 AM. Got up at 10 and loaded the furniture then visited for a while. Rolled for home about 4 PM in 106 heat. When I pulled off the interstate at 8:15 the temp was a pleasant but slightly balmy 99.
To recap; 5 hours cleaning flower beds in 111 degreee heat, 30 minutes loading furniture at 100 or so, and 748 miles around Texas in a truck with a broke AC.
I had to go to work today just for the rest!
