Wow......that's hot!!!
41.3C = 106.16F
Lee, could you ship those of us in the Northern Hemisphere a bit of that warmth, ASAP???
It's 18F here this morning = -8C
My advice is to move slow and stay in the shade.
;-)
Anyone here get flooded out with the horrific rains some of you have had recently???

they have all be moved out and are under! south from us is not as bed and they sya the rod will reopen in the next 24 hrs so fingers crossed it does
as the shops are a little empty :o)

i WISH i COULD SWAP ABOUT 15 DEGREES C with You STEVE...
WELL ITS 11.57PM LOCAL AND THE TEMPERATURE HAS DROPPED TO 24C DUE TO STORMS IN THE AREA,,
and we have a cool breeze....
No rain here though....
If it can cool down to 25C every night with a cool breeze
I'd be happy.... but usually its 30C at night with a HOT breeze...
maybe I will have to air condition My beetle and drive around all day.. lol..
We won't be able to use the air conditioner at home as much as We did as prices are going thru the roof for electricity
here in Australia....
Gas/petrol prices are also high even though the AU$ is equal to the US$ ..??
cheers and Happy New Year

I wouldn't worry too much about that blue beetle Steff.
It's owned by the same guy from my work that bought that other Baja from down your way, I know for a fact that it is very rusty, both sills are made
of bog, I've been trying to get him to give it too me cheap so I can get the pan for my buggy.
It's only a dodgy old superbug anyway.
