Huge huge turnout, but not many 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Lots of new beautiful Porsches that handle like nothing I've ever seen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Candlestick was 95 degrees today which kept everyone running for the water cooler. No shade out there on the blacktop.

I knew we were in trouble when Dan T. passed me right before the turnoff to Candlestick, at 6:30AM, with his top down.

When I drove back to Los Altos at 6:00PM my truck thermometer said 110 degrees, which had me cussing as I thought the stipid thing had broke.

Then I opened the door and I knew what a turkey must feel like.

Please Please let some fog come in tomorrow.

But did you have a good time?

We burned yesterday at Sears, too.

Here in Pleasanton I spent from 7am to 2pm at the kids' swim meet. We baked. When I got in the car to come home the thermometer in the car read 124 degrees. The previous high that I had seen was yesterday (114 degrees). Too damn hot!

I made it through Saturday, but just barely. Took too much out of me; I had to sit out most of the Sunday afternoon run group. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I am utterly wiped out, slightly sunburned, and still trying to recover. Wish I'd gotten to run on the fast course!

I dropped by on Saturday afternoon. The car said it was 97 at Candlestick. I spent an hour sitting inside the Neidel's motorhome shooting the breeze. I walked about a bit, watching all the Caymans, but it was too hot. I don't know how you instructors could bear it. Especially in helmets!

On the way home I got 110 on the car thermometer. And it didn't cool down in the evening either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I went on a hike in the mountains yesterday (96 degrees in shade of the redwood forests). As I walked around a bend on the trail I was headed towards a big deep pool in a local stream and two absolutely gorgeous 20 something women were standing naked in the knee deep water facing me and smiling. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't suffering from heat exhaustion. Then I realized my wife and my niece and nephew were just a few steps behind me. They confirmed that I wasn't hallucinating!

I'm thinking hiking is a lot more fun than going to AX's or races now when its hot.

Well, there would have been one more 914 out there had I not dropped out recently. Car brakes are not dialed in decently yet. Next time though when it is cooler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
