It's around 90 here. I did a little work in the garden for barely a half hour and am completely drenched. It's brutal.

   Texas has 3 more months of this $hit, humidity a little lighter in the hill country than on the gulf coast but being a skinny ol fart the cold bothers me much more.

Nah, he owns a successful business.  His father died of heart disease in his early fifties.  Since that bypass, FIL is in his weight room at four every morning working out.

Looks lIke a lot of us are going to be under this heat wave.   In my corner of the world, the weather soothsayers originally predicted 90+ degrees till Monday. Now they are saying all next week.  I'm really ticked because I have heart problems.  All last winter I stayed home because being out in the cold for more than a minute would have killed me.  So I was looking forward  to more moderate temperatures in spring and summer. But now it's too hot for me to go out.  Anyway -- everyone under this heat wave:  stay safe.  Even if you don't have health issues, this heat can kill you if you aren't careful.  Stay well hydrated.  Dont overdo.  .

@Applewood
It is 100 here at 3:36 pm central time, and with heat index feels like 109.  Tomorrow will be 101 so it will feel hotter than 109 tomorrow.

Well @CatherineofAragon since I have a short week I mowed two of my properties and helped one of my guys lug a new hot water heater into a 3rd floor walk up in 95 degree heat and then washed the station wagon when I got home because it looked slightly dusty........AND I AM STILL ALIVE TO TELL THE TALE!!!!!!!

Ugh!  We are at 91 right now with a heat index of 98  100 is a rarity here, but it has happened. 

I remember once it was over 100.  My brother was out in the garden watering his tomato plants and pulling off dead leaves when he found a bunny trying to nap under one of the plants.  Now rabbits usually run off when they encounter humans, but this poor little thing was just too hot to run away.  My brother arranged the plant over the rabbit to give him shade and let the poor fella go back to sleep.

LOL.   No, I'm afraid I wouldn't know what a buckboard was if I tripped over one.  But, I know who to go to for information.

   Beautiful Wagon, @Frank Cannon does it have the 455 Rocket under the hood? 
   Looks like someone splurged and got the UNDERCOAT.

Hit 100 feels like 104. I just took a nap on the couch with the AC set to 78. I'll have to pay, but it's worth it.

Mine is exactly like that including the vent shades except mine is a much higher quality with the CB whip antenna on the rear bumper. I pulled the detuned stock 455 out and dropped a high compression 455 out of a '70 98 that was rusty but had 45k miles. I also have dual exhaust, Pertronix electronic ignition and I'm thinking about pulling the Quadrajet this summer and bolting on fuel injection.
