104F today in San Antone.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

91 degrees (32C) and the humidity has dropped to 56%. And there's a breeze! That's great! Last several weeks, it's been a few degree warmer but the humidity was in the high 80's to mid 90's. I drink gallons (2 Liters ish) of water while I'm outside working.

If I'm not dripping, I'm too dry. My clothes will get saturated, and no, they don't dry in that much humidity. Two showers a day to keep the funk down.

The worst place I ever was heat wise was, believe it or not, Korea. Through most of the year Seoul's weather is much like New Jersey's. But in August and
September they catch the monsoon. Imagine every day for two months it going into the high nineties and pouring like there's no tomorrow. I realize that in Vietnam, Thailand, and such the monsoon is longer and worse but it was pretty stinky in Korea too. I can remember taking a shower in the morning, drying off, and before I could get my uniform on I'd be completely soaked in sweat from head to toe again. The monsoon sucked.
