My brother in Georgetown called his son who is vacationing at his Leadville, Colorado house this morning. He said it was 43 there and was putting a brisket on his pellet grill.

    All of it is extremely depressing to me. I used to have this naive belief that in the face of a real, global crisis, humanity would come together and solve the problem. That grown ups would take charg

    Bingo. It's an artifact of youth. You don't care if it's 100 degrees when you're 12 years old and your only concern for 3 straight months is where you are swimming that day and which friend you're spe

It’s 79 at 7:15 and feels like a nice fall day.  Neither AC unit is running in my house for probably the first time in 10 weeks.

I mean, Leadville is at 10,000 feet.

Yes, and I wonder if nephew‘s brisket is halfway done yet.

anybody wanna tell him? 
Maybe it's slightly different in the Metroplex, but tomorrow most of Texas is heading for yet another record.  Tuesday might actually be a noticeable dropoff.  At least in Central Texas.  10 degrees 'cooler' with decent chance of some small precip.  Our grandchildren will read about this summer one day, but for the fact that all the paper will be torched.  

Our grandchildren will read about this summer as an example of how cool it used to be

Welp, looks like today is supposed to be the hottest day in Texas and Lousiana’s history

But my app shows high 90s as highs all next week, so blatant furnace to medium high?

The hottest day in Texas history so far.

Took dogs for a walk around 7:45, actually fairly pleasant. Decent breeze and not too humid. By the end of the walk it had warmed up a good 7-8 degrees and I was pretty damn soaked in sweat. This afternoon is gonna be rough.

Definitely gonna try and take advantage of much  more tolerable mornings and evenings with the drier air rolling through this week. 

Only supposed to be in the upper 90s in DFW today. Doesn’t look so promising down in CTX

Looked at next Saturday. 100-102 around kickoff. Start hydrating now.

KXAN says 107 F with 50% chance of rain.  That should make for an interesting humidity bomb.

might be a good time to buy a bunch of cases of your favorite wines. Not sure grapes are gonna love the heat.

The ‘23 vintages will actually be incredible.  Stressed grapes make a great wine.

She needs to clear the debris from the bottom and probably hose off the coils.

The longer range forecast I just looked at has 100+ here in the Houston area through Sept 7 then on Sept 8 it drops down to 89.  Gee, I wonder where the line from prediction based on current data and conditions to historical average happens?  It's a real god damn mystery.

All I know is my rain chances in Waco started at 24% earlier this morning and are sitting at 91% now.  
 

I will Andy Dufresne the hell out of my front yard this afternoon.

Yeah, future radar has a patchy line of fairly strong storms popping up from San Angelo to Lufkin around 5:30. Looks like the lakes might actually get a little action this evening.

Meanwhile, Houston's on pace to shatter the previous all-time high. Already at 106 and it's only 2:15. We're a couple degrees ahead of Thursday's pace. The air out in front of this front is getting superheated.

C’mom, Nicole. It’s too hot for serial murder.

You say "serial murder," I say "sacrifice to the rain gods."  Kill away, Nicole....kill away.

So now an advocate? But for the better communal good right? I mean, if we all get rain and Rainey street only loses a few clients, win for the greater good?

My experience living in Colorado is that smoking brisket is no bueno.

I had a smoker a welder made for me in Oklahoma, and it couldn’t get enough air to keep the fire going. Evergreens are good for building houses, not so good for smoking meat.

How I miss the way the days cooled down in August!!! I never got used to swimming up there; the evaporative cooling when you got out of the polls was about the coldest I ever got up there.

109 in houston with a feels like of 117 and its not even 3 pm. One more degree and we set the all time record for hottest day ever

Where are you getting those numbers?

No… No…No…No!!!

2 things happened in the 60’s that made Texas livable; Air Conditioning and Liquor by the Drink.

Don’t Mess with either of them.  I’m still pissed that we had a National 55 MPH speed limit.

It is our inalienable right to enjoy somebody else’s refrigerated air when we go to HEB, Lowes or Walmart. It’s bad enough we have to go there, let’s not make it worse by having to sweat when we get there. 

HEB is not a deli counter. HEB having doors on the meat counters would be a mass casualty event during the holidays.

I agree that incoming business’  should pay some type of fee to support utility infrastructure. Age old argument that if everybody pays the incremental cost, who pays for the base cost?

Becker is my go-to.  Love that Viognier.  Do you know of any others that are worth a damn?

In addition to Becker I like Bent Oak, Infinite Monkey, and Messina Hof.. That said, basically all Texas Viogniers are at least very good and many are world class. I've never tasted a bad one.

NOLA just hit 104, breaking their all-time record by 2 degrees. God, can you imagine how it smells in the Quarter today?

111 in San Marcos both at the house and local weather station. 

112.8 here in south Austin.  Feels like 117 lol.   

The sun was terrible at 10:00 am this morning when I was doing something in the yard.

Just went with the boy to pick up some stuff from Lowe’s. Got in his SUV parked on the street…temp readout showed 120.

Driving around cooled it off to 109. This is fucky. My “project” is to build a new firewood rack (because the only two temps we have are “broil alive” and “freeze to death,” gotta be ready for both). Yeah…we won’t be doing shit outside today.

Fuck everything
