The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Saw this on a weather messageboard........thought it was hilarious.





Dear diary, just moved to Texas







Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an

air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to

see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.



June 30th:

Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus

and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me.

Another scorcher today, but I love it here.



July 10th:

The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used

to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting

used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.



July 15th:

Fell asleep by the community pool. Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my

body. Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my

lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.



July 20th:

I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning.

By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up

to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car

now smells like Kibbles and ****s. I learned my lesson though. No more

pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.



July 25th:

The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot

as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman

charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.



July 30th:

Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and

I can't even go inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come

here?



Aug. 4th:

Its 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost

$500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.



Aug. 8th:

If another wise a** cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to

strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is

boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!



Aug. 9th:

Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the

seats in the car, I thought my a** was on fire. My skin melted to the

seat. I lost 2 layers of

flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and a** . . . Now my car

smells like burnt hair, fried a**, and baked cat.



Aug 10th:

The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot

and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do **** for 2 damn months

and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it

ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700

worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't

live in this damn heat.



Aug. 14th:

Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot

to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The

installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for

you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.

Freaking Texas . What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live

here?? Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

www.americanwx.com is the site. Now as for the carnage, it was fun. I just wish I could have seen or got it on video of Balkey gaping it up. I would look the same if I rode w/you or dreamn'.

Sweet riding today. Went 15 miles and hardly broke a sweat. Nice change from the 110 heat index for the last 3 weeks.
