Summer has arrived
« on: January 04, 2019, 05:45:32 »
It is getting hotter today, and summer is finally here.  Temp outside is reading 44c or a bit over 110f  in USA terms at the moment.  Don’t think i am going for a drive in the Pagoda today.  Just a bit warm. 8) 8) 8) :-[

You won’t be getting me to wish for Summer to arrive here in Dallas! I have that same problem here in the summer, just too hot enjoy a spin. Not uncommon to be 100*F or more for three months. Winter, Spring and Fall are just fine with me. It was 38*F as a high here last couple of days, but will be close to 70*F by Sunday. Typical for our winters.  8)

So yes come Sunday, you will see the W111 driving around Dallas.

I will be taking my Blue Tornado for a spin tomorrow, it has been mild in Southwestern Ontario, Canada and tomorrow’s forecast is 6 C and sunny, mind you my removable hardtop is on the car. It will be nice to take a 20 to 30 km drive.

Too much salt on the roads so mine will stay in their winter hibernation.
