The chain link fence has barbed wire atop it and itself is atop a 15 foot cinderblock wall

Mate I like how you wrote "chai" instead of chain ….my sad attempt at
grammatical humour ..

BTW loving the 81 and it is fading slightly ....tough bugger .

I chuckled too.. I imagine trying to drink my way through it

Those bikers are more into chamomile than chai though.

For a host of reasons, Paula and I are in the process of making Iron Heart a limited company.  I told my accountant that I just wanted to trade as Iron Heart but I did not give a rats ass what the registered company name was…...Guys got a sense of humour...

Seeing recent pictures of the cold weather in the US, and floods in the UK, it feels a world away from the heatwave conditions we are experiencing.

Here is our current situation (temperature in Celsius).

[Seul]

If those were my weather forecasts, I'd hang myself. In the shade.

[RocknRoll]

It's pretty full-on Seul, even though we are used to warm weather down here.

Where I live we are lucky to get a breeze off the ocean, so our max temp today was only about 29C. Still wearing the 18oz Beatle Busters….it will be quite a while until I need a jacket again.

Lucky bastards, haven't been able to go anywhere sans union suit for months and am now measuring snow fall accumulation by the foot. Everyone keeps saying it's pretty and they wish they had some, but none of the assholes will actually come get it

With you Brother. 18oz IH-634SV's going strong in this. A guy I work with in Melbourne said it was 30c OVER NIGHT last night. Going to be the same tonight; http://www.melbourneburning.com/. Guy is tweaking out. No AC @ his place.

@Jdl; hahahahaha i hear you brother…

Most of you guys probably already know this, but Shane a.k.a urbanwoodsman is one hell of a nice guy. MUCH RESPECT!!

It's not often I hear about extreme weather around the globe, but I did hear about the Australian heat wave. Stay cool guys!

Many thanks.  I posted this in another thread but our max. temperatures over the past few days in Melbourne were as follows:

Tuesday: 42.8
Wednesday: 41.7
Thursday: 43
Friday: 43.9

No air con at work, unfortunately, makes for a very unpleasant working week.  Cool change just starting to come in now and I'm sipping on my first Friday night margherita as I type.

[RocknRoll]

You guys (Melbourne), and Adelaide copped the worst of it - poor buggers. We got off relatively lightly here in Sydney, although the humidity has been of tropical proportions. Enjoy the cool change mate!

** for any US people not familiar with the conversion, 38C = 100F.

With apologies to Seul (but not many)…....

I'm having a rather enlightening conversation on facebook with a friend, and the main topics are bellybutton lint, tentacle porn, and beer. What else do you need?

[Megatron1505]

Oi!!!!! Back on the subject sailor.

[mclaincausey]

It gets lonely at sea, let our sailor friend indulge his tentacle fetishes!

[seawolf]

It gets very lonely at sea. Technology like tablets have made long voyages much more tolerable.
