Heat index is at 107 at the moment. Just finished a 5 mile walk. Iām sweating on my tablet, lol. Usually on days like this Iād walk that 5 miles at the air conditioned Planet Fitness, and watch one of the TVās. But, it will be a long time, if ever, that Iāll work out with dozens of other people in an enclosed space. I donāt mind the heat, itās what Summer is about, but Iād be lyin if I didnāt admit Iād prefer the gym on days like this.

Itās baaaaaaaack. Heat index into the triple digits tomorrow. Gonna start real early with a walk around the edge of the cornfield. Then meet up with JonnyV and check out the creek bed washouts. Then a little target shooting in the shade. Iāve got the backpack with plenty of water ready to roll.

My wife walks and hikes all the time she got me started now . We have a loop trail in the state park that go's up along a ridge then back down to the river . It only rises about 900 feet then drops down only two or three miles but gets the heart pumping . We start early during the week and very few other people the weekends is another story . It's a lot steeper walking down to my dig but not long enough to do much good . High 90s to 100 for the last couple of weeks but its dry heat very little humidity .

Still hotter and muggier than usual around these parts. Iām planning an early morning assault on the tall corn Friday morning. I found a couple of small bare spots where the corn didnāt take near my hotspot. Taking a trowel, 12ā sifting screen and plenty of water. Should be a fun time.

Ok just saw this one . Anyone who grew up in southern cal knows heat . 50 years ago before all the golf courses and people itās would always hit 113 -115 deg then it would cool down to 105 and we were good . Always would go over the canyon to the beach where it was 80 deg cool water .
we would be in school no air con and just be quite.
Last year Georgia had that May heat wave 100 on the porch well that what the cheap temp gage said and thatās a whole different ball game . Humidity !
never sweat in. 20-30 percent humidity .
when your eyeballs are sweating itās time to stop looking for points .
I have been in Palm Springs at 125 whoa and walking across asphalt which would make it a bit hotter .
āāāāāāāI was young and could handle .

I think itās safe to call the heat wave officially over in Michigan. Saturday morning checked in at 36 degrees in Kalamazoo. Luckily I was on a long weekend at Mammoth Cave National Park and the lowest it got there was 48. I gotta feeling weāre in for a long cold one here up north. I didnāt come home with any artifacts but I did bring home some good beer and a fine bottle of Kentucky bourbon.
