73 American degrees and 100% humidity, at 7:41in the morning. Awesome! Getting a Polara parts car delivered to me in a few hours, parts, parts and more parts! New Stub Frame for my beat up front end, fenders hood grille bumper splash pan doors front bench window regulators window channels and guides and fuzzies! Window trim and glass and dash door panels emblems letters side trim! Ahhhh, so much to be had! It was supposed to show up tomorrow on my birthday, but it's coming a day early, oh well! It will look like a chop shop outside over the weekend with me tearing the car down so I can put as little of it into my storage place. All while getting the Medalist back on the road, just a few more parts needed/checked before refire. And it's been HOT since the weekend before last. I'm conditioned to the heat but it still sucks. Gotta keep on keepin' on!
 
Beer quickly in the am after work. I drink a ton of water. I lose about 7-8 pounds when I have a few days off and don't go outside to the sauna. I stay hydrated, I know the signs of heat stress all too well. I'll document the whole thing as best I can. Talked Laura out of killing me when I said it would be here while her Dad's car is still unfinished, hers is priority number 1,2 & 3! I think I have 6 days off, with 2 being short days for getting things done. Get 'er done!

Last night was a big event in Vancouver Wa. called cruise the gut, but Bob and I decided to just stay home and drink in the shop and relax and look at our own junk!

Somehow I survived 4 days at Carlisle! Made out well selling all the big crap I have been walking around in the shop and also sold a ton of rebuilt distributors. Rained like hell Thursday and Friday but the rest of the weather was perfect.
 
It been hot as Hades here! I've lost a ton of weight while driving a bunch of water offset with beer. I've totally gotten used to it, but it still sucks. Oh well!

Nice to hear sales went well.
 
Rain rain go away, bring me back my humid day! Looking at the piddles where there shouldn't be any. And at the water leaking into my garage from the roof. Another great Minnesota summer day, resin should be over after lunch, go for a casual drive wherever the road takes us later. Nice easy relaxing day.

We need rain, we are on our 42nd dry day in a row and fires are all around us, and we are going to have our first heat wave of the year this coming week!
