It is hotter than blazes here and real humid, too. Still enjoying. Got our usual spot under a few nice shade trees which is a big help.

Last night we had a great dinner with member number 100, Lloyd and his wife.  We ate in a wonderful old building that was once a hotel stopover on the stage coach route near Nazareth. PA.

Hung out with Mr and Mrs CrazyDoug too!

More after we get back.

I just spent the morning/afternoon at a show with the same conditions... 92 degrees, with heat index of 110 or so. Not much happening today but supposed to be a cooler day tomorrow and I hope to return.

Looking forward to your footage from the show  ;)

Best of luck, Nick and Jeff. Today will be a little warmer yet.  Yesterday we hit 89-90. Today will hit 94 or better. Most of all, enjoy!

We left home at 6:30 in the rain, wasn't supposed to rain at the show till after noon. Within a half hour of being there the wind came through 60-70mph with a ton of rain. Lasted only 20 minutes or so, started to get nice but not for long... clouds were rolling back in so we ran to the car. By the time we got in the car it was pouring again. I ended up covered in mud from the stroller wheels  :D  Made it home to water in the basement for a third time this year, but so far the sump pump is holding up.

Yes, way better today if the storms and rain would have stayed away
