Hey Mark, what did ya'll make these out of; bubble gum? After sitting in the sun for 4 hours & OAT of 90F these things melted beyond recognition. If I hadn't had an OEM one mixed in the bunch I wouldn't have been able to tell what they were.

Instead of those stupid Prop 65 warnings on everything, maybe we need "not CA heat appropriate"... everything is melting... was 117 here yesterday.... Death Valley at the same time was 115...

Death Valley at the same time was 115... Been there done that.... 1980 DFW Heat wave. I was 17 in 1980. The official temp at DFW airport was 113 for two days in a row. But we saw 117 on the thermometer in our back yard. And I was young and dumb enough to take the AC out of my car for better performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Nobody was outside during the day. We all ventured out after dark. It was miserable... So I feel for you man. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I was really little at the time (5 years old) and used to have a shirt saying that I had survived the '80 heat wave. Kinda wish I still had it, I remember it really clearly. Was in Denton TX at the time. Zach |
