• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Be careful Riding When it's Too Hot! Hydrate & keep cool!!

    Be prepared! Even when I was very young and relatively fit, we all prepared ourselves for physical activities (sports) by practicing and working out to get "into shape". No different dealing with excessive heat. It's too late if you start hydrating when you're hot and thirsty. You need to...

    The weather reports from the desert sound like a broken record! It's HOT! At 10:30 AM it was 102 degrees. No clouds and a 5 MPH breeze. Humidity is 18%. Todays high will be 112+. Getting ready to do a road trip to cooler climates in the next couple of weeks. I am now bike-less for the...

    Lots of areas in the West and South are under Excessive Heat Warnings. I've preached about the danger of heat here before. Please don't underestimate its effect. We had another very unfortunate (and avoidable) loss here yesterday. An out-of-town family went for a short hike. Their...

    I used to have a wife who always pointed that out to me. Ex-wife's are very good at that!

    Happy July-tooth! Yesterday I flipped my refrigerator calendar over for the new month. Seems like just a week or so ago that I was buying it at the grocery store. Time does fly! Right now, it's 106 here in the desert. We expect to top 112 today. The overnight low will be 90. There are a...

    In yesterday's post I wrote about my flag and 1/2 staff that had blown onto my carport. After modifying my homemade grappling hook (thanks to a much-modified paper clip) I was able to retrieve it. There is now a screw that locks the two halves of the staff. And..... I was able to complete the...

    We got a mini-break last evening. A couple thunderstorms snuck into the valley. Had some rain for about 1/2 hour starting at 8:30. It cooled things down a bit but increased our humidity. I just came in from trying to retrieve my flag from the carport roof. It came apart at the seam in the...

    I must have got a good Kenda rear tire!

    That answers the question I was thinking about. What I noticed about the Kendas I owned was that they would rapidly wear in the center when ridden at interstate speeds (70-80 MPH). The centrifugal force would result in the tire ballooning in the middle because of its' weak construction. After...

    Yesterday was the hottest so far this year here in the desert. The official high was 116 and the overnight "low" was 90. Keeps the air conditioners busy! Since I changed my AC filter last time, I've developed a high pitch whistle coming from the utility closet that houses the monster. Tried...

    For the next 10 days the highs will be 110+ and overnight lows right at 90 here in the desert. :yikes: Looks like we MIGHT have a slight chance of some monsoon action in a few days. Typically, this time of year, the monsoons skirt the valley and stay in the mountains surrounding us. Hoping...

    Thanks for the additional information, Peter. Just for giggles I measured the amount of water I usually drink during the course of an hour. It comes out to right on 3/4 liter. I sip it continually during the day. It's like a habit. Don't even think about it or wait until I feel thirsty...

    I could write volumes about all the heat related problems people were/are having here in Arizona. Almost ALL the stories are about people being unaware and ill prepared for the heat they encounter. People thinking they can just tough it out and overcome heat issues are often times making deadly...

    Still pretty much the same high heat here in the desert. It's currently 101 and heading for a high of 108(+). Breezy today. We're seeing 10-15 MPH with gusts to 22. Humidity remains low at 9%. There are no clouds anywhere in sight. Our low humidity makes the higher ambient temperature more...

    Ditto here too. We're headed towards a few days of 115+ degrees. It seems to take a little longer each year for me to become acclimated to the summer heat. It's an age thing, I think. My "heat threshold" is 105. Up to that I can function pretty well for reasonable periods of time. But I do...
