Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

[Palehorse]

      With a B-B gun, you shoot your eye out.  With fire works you burn your neighbor's house down.   

Yeah, and usually burning the houses of my neighbors wouldn't bother me all that much. But I actually like most of these folks around me. Good people, with good hearts, and a slight smattering of the religiously zealot amongst us. But us retired military have those jaspers under control. . . 

They know ol gawd ain't gonna stand twixt them and a team of Retired Marines, Airforce, and Navy personnel and all the ordinance that comes with them!    7.62 mm Full Metal Jacket.

  Yeah, that FMJ, we don't want those bullet to mushrooming on the enemy do we.     Oh, I forgot, we taught some of them there bullets to spin end over end when they hit soft flesh.     Hee, hee, hee.

Temperatures late this week are forecast to reach the upper 90s to around 100 degrees in central Indiana, approaching record values. Here are some statistics for Indianapolis:

Last time temperature reached 96 degrees or higher so early in June: June 18, 1994
Last time temperature reached 97 degrees or higher so early in June: June 25, 1988
Last time temperature reached 100 degrees or higher so early in June: June 25, 1988
The 102 degree temperature on June 25, 1988 tied the all time record high for June, originally set on June 26, 1954. The earliest the temperature has ever reached 100 degrees at Indianapolis was June 2, 1934.

As of June 25 the number of 90 degree days in May and June stood at 11, the most for that time period since 1994. The number of 90 degree days is expected to grow and could reach 15 by the end of June. This would be the most for May and June since 1988 which had 17 days. The record for May and June is 19 days set in 1934.

Precipitation

Through the first three and a half weeks on the month, June 2012 is the driest June for the Indianapolis area since June 1988. The total precipitation for the month at the Indianapolis International Airport through June 24 is 0.05 inches. The average precipitation through June 24 is 3.39 inches.

Through June 24, there have been 20 consecutive days of no measurable precipitation at Indianapolis. This ties the all time record for June for the most consecutive days with no measurable precipitation. The record will be broken as dry weather is forecast through at least June 28. Overall, the 20 consecutive days is the longest since 2005, when there were 25 consecutive days with no rainfall, but that happened in September-October. The string of no measurable precipitation will likely extend through Thursday and be the longest since 25 days ending on March 4, 1983. This is a relatively rare phenomenon for the Indianapolis area, occurring only 11 times since records began in 1871.

In 1988 the entire month of June saw only 0.36 inches, making it the driest June on record for the Indianapolis area. Below is a graph of June rainfall, showing average, 2012, and 1988's rainfall:

This is going to go down as one of the driest June's in history, with just .05" of rain and the next possibility of rain is not until Saturday. . . and that is a big maybe.

Temps will push triple digits by the end of the week . . . So the dog days of summer are already here!

In June of 88 I was knee deep in a Ford Fairlane project, trying desperately to get it done in time for the Street Machine Nationals in Du Quoin IL.  Many long hot days, and steamy nights, including the final 24 hour assembly marathon just before hitting the road.  No A/C in the car, just open all the windows and fresh(?) air vents, then haul ass.  I was glad I had installed the cloth inserts in the seats, they made for a much more comfortable ride.  Our POS motel room had good cold A/C, so it looked pretty good in spite of itself.  We sat at the fairground in the brown grass for 3 days, then headed home in the still stifling heat.  Oh what good times we had in our younger days

I was painting the outside of a house and it was so hot the paint bubbled when we put it on so we had to quit.  I don't think it was boiling but we were joking about it...

  You might get by with painting in hot water with oil base paint.  But with the new paints most of them are water base and will blister and dry before it really get a chance to sink into the wood.  The paint you did get put on will probably peel off at a later date.  I found out this the hard way.  Painted a door on a hot day and by the next year it was peeling off.

Fortunately what we did put on didn't peel off but it sure did bubble pretty when we brushed it.  They were little bubbles and the paint brushes were getting foamy so we figured we'd better quit...

  I hope it won't peel off.  But if it didn't adhere to the wood in a year or two, if a little water get under it, it will peel.

Yep, big time just like peelin' a banana.  I used to love to paint but a few years ago I developed an allergy to paint.  Doesn't seem to matter what kind either or if it's odorless I start coughing, my chest tightens up and it's all over but the shoutin'.  At least I don't break out in little red splotches like my SIL does.
