TO HOT?

I'm at work until 3:30. Thunderstorms hit at 3:45. So I'm standing by for good weather to do more data logging for my remote tune.

After missing the last 2 weeks due to a family accident and surgery recovery, I can back into the garage. But it's 90 degrees already this morning and the monsoon humidity is thick - going to be another 115+ degree day again (we've had too many this summer)! Can't do much before it gets too hot. I hate AZ hibernation season. :oops:
Would it help if the sqwatch got a wax job? Kinda hairy for those high temps

When you say "humidity" and "thick" do you mean, like 25%? 45%? Lol I'm thrilled that it's down to 61% right now.

Day starts at 90 degrees and 45% plus humidity, as the day goes on it gets to 115 degrees or more and dew point climbs toward 70 degrees. We desert folks like it dry which makes the 115+ degrees tolerable. It feels like Florida here this morning. o_O

IDK, your Goblin looks pretty lonely sitting out there in the parking lot. I think it's saying "you don't need to work today, let's go play and burn up a tank of gas!".

I have to see how to fit the pool noodle between my full length foot cover and the hood.
I ended up cutting my footwell cover about 6 inches from the face and put a pool noodle right on the edge. I tried adhesive first but it didn’t want to stick to the porous noodle. I ended up using zip-ties to keep it in place.

That looks solid. How long is that noodle, end-to-end?

It's a fricking beautiful morning here in PA. The Goblin hasn't seen much action this summer due to the weather being f***ing stupid, but I was able to commute with it today finally.
It definitely is after the last few days we have had. I was taking a drive at lunch with the windows down wishing my goblin was done and I could be driving it today.

I'm going to Scottsdale second week of August for a golf trip, not looking forward to the heat.

Play mornings before 10:00, drink more water than you think you need to, and be careful what you touch. Almost everything that grows out here has thorns or is toxic (or both) and can cause irritation. Anything metallic will be above ambient temperature, unless it is sitting in the sun, then it can burn you. Other than that, have a great time! :D

The wife and I took a long weekend to our campground in loudonville, OH. The pools perfect for a sunny 85° day.

I squeezed some pipe insulation between the hood and the foot cover. Works well, I get less heat from the radiator. I wish the gap under the windshield would be a little larger. There is a cool breeze coming through.
