The temperature is 82 here in my town with 45% humidity. However, the skies are perfectly clear so the sun is intense and the weather feels hotter outside. Yesterday reached 95 degrees, and the wife and I were playing tennis in it and the humidity was bad, too. It was fun, though.

This morning, I got out in the heat to dig a plot for one of my cats -- Prince. He finally succumbed to the affects of diabetes, following behind his brother, Bear, who also passed away a year ago, because of the same condition. I was out there digging, but had to take a break. Then, I got back out there about a half hour ago, and dug some more. I thought that it was deep enough so I returned to the house for a reprieve. We'll miss the big guy. Surviving Prince is his mom, Mittens, and sister, Wolfee.

Sorry to hear about your kitty. It's always hard to lose a family member.

Thanks. Yeah, it's hard. However, having gone through it with his brother, Bear, we were more prepared and made peace with Prince inevitable passing long before he reached his end. With Bear, it caught us by surprise. We thought that he looked better losing some wait; he was too fat anyway. However, when the weight kept coming off, and he started to look skinny, we knew that something was up. We took him to the vet, and she said that he's diabetic. My wife and I were like Diabetic?? We administered insulin to him but it didn't appear to work. We had to put him to sleep 2 weeks later. He was just ailing too much. That was hard.

On another note, I've been having fun driving the Z. Since I'm on vacation, I should really work on getting rid of the paint chips on the hood. I bought the Dr Color Chip kit and it's sitting there, waiting for me to get started.

Yeah. I figure it's cheaper than painting the entire and hood bumper, and that it will do a sufficient job.

hello all. Hopefully you're staying cool these few days. it was up to 106 today in Chicago, if I'm not mistaken that's a record.

another 100 degree day awaits tomorrow ....

Took the Z out yesterday when it was 103 and those oil temps hit 225 just cruising at 50mph in 5th. Oil cooler is next mod
