Still 32C here and inside upstairs it feels like 40C. Sun is just down so hopefully the fans will clear out some of that hot air. Was planning to install the lift today but my motivation ended at the hot pavement in my driveway.

14 hour drive, no air conditioning
I drove the Land Cruiser to Northern Cal. today. About 14 hours of which 7 hours were in temps between 102 and 110 (I have a thermometer on my watch that I kept in a shady part of the truck during the drive to keep track of the madness).
Keeping cool procedure. Buy cold bottled water. Drink what you can until it gets hot like tea. Pour remaining over head, it dries in about 15 minutes, Repeat.
You lucky b**tards with fridges can 
I came to the Smith River and had a great swim which made me feel a whole lot more like a human rather than a sweaty dog. 15 minutes later, through the Redwood forest and out to the Coast at Crescent City, a fog bank rolled in and no kidding it was instantly 40 degress F cooler. Had to close the windows and put my fleece on.
What a trip. I'm down for work, the guys here haven't ever seen a diesel land cruiser, so they've been bugging me for a year to drive it down. Go figure, pick the hottest day of the year.

The thermometer is in the sun, so really it's only a little above 50. 
Abby is smoking hot! we went back to Davis Lake to swim all day before packing out other peoples garbage. It was way too hot today.

you temp gage reads like mine.
i have to say i have no complaints about this weather.
driving with the top off,and when you need to cool off just just step inside and sit in the house with the air conditioning on full blast.then crack open a cold one.
We're in Grants Pass, OR area tonight and maybe tomorrow. PM a contact number.
But you'll have to settle with Starbucks or the like - no Timmy's Ice caps down there.
It is looking to be the same today - I have already clsed up the windows as it is hoter outside at 8:30 AM than inside now. Didn't cool down much last night.
