Nasty ThunderStorm coming . Tying down the Parts Tents Extra Heavy , so they don't Blow and Damage Nice MOPARS . Hope everyone Ropes everything Down .

When I worked at my local drag strip for 10 years, I would always have a wet rag to keep my neck cool, on really hot days. The hot weather, along with the track surface... would be murder on track officials. Hydration and cool rags were the best way to get through day.

Saturday was oppressive. By the end of the Malaise Era Parade I was so shot that I just packed the car up and went to the hotel. I can deal with hot. I cannot deal with hot and humid. Just unpacked everything and started washing clothes and you could see the salt falling off of my t-shirts.

I didnt know that was a thing until last summer. There's a lot of salt in our sweat!!!(and it does stain your clothing)

Friday was tolerable. Having the scooter and not having to walk makes it much better. The battle of "cold" water sitting in the cupholder was warm enough to make tea by 10:30! The cold wrap on the neck has be a "must" for me for years. I generally do the whole swapmeet and some of the show field in one day - mainly because of the heat. This year we headed up to the Syracuse show and walked it. Hot but bearable.

We came in from Phoenix, found it sticky and warm but not hot so it was a nice change. Great show and swap meet and a good thing I left room in my carry on!
