Hi Bob the heat has been limiting my rides to early morning, but the next few days are forecast to be well under the hundred mark as highs. Our evenings have stayed over a hundred until 10:00p.m. out here in the badlands so no late rides to this point.
Hope you are well and getting some rides in too. Take care of yourself and enjoy life as a gift!

I thought of getting a swamp cooler for less energy cost, but not sure if the RH in my location is worth the cooling effect. Some of those things cost as much as an AC. The mold needing cleaning in the things are also less attractive than an AC. If I had just my own electric meter billed to me, I would spend the dime.
It is super-hot like 95 or more yesterday and today. Down stairs at 85 and upstairs 90.
Going down to closer to the Pacific Ocean is cooler. Up in the hills here I have sugar pie pumpkins growing. Orange tree, blueberries, hops, tomatoes, as well like the heat though.
I was planning another trip for getting in the water to access to the river.
Snorkeling or maybe even trying scuba on the menu.
Compared with a month ago, the depth is less. This means aquatic plants are in the area where there is greater depth. If I cannot find diving in the river now, I am going to see when the ocean calms down.
The snorkeling there is in colder water than the river. The river now is close to luke-warm. It may be 50 to 55 ocean surface temperature for the NorCal Pacific Coast.
I’ll have to use my drysuit undergarment high loft stuff. I will have to see a test at home when it is cooled off in the evening, to see how I can do at getting into the suit with more lofty insulation around my elbow.
My incision area may tell me not yet, but how else to know.
The surgery side, very close to the incision, which still since February has some nerve issue that in time, I hear goes away is something I’m dealing with.
This is aside from the ulnar nerve hand pain which also has time associated for healing from scar tissue removed from around the pinched nerve elbow area.
The test at home, getting full suited up, before dealing with small breakers in a cove is attempted, I am feeling will tell me if I am ready for the ocean.
If there was a cooler weather outside in my car port, I would see about finishing doing the valves on the Briggs bike. I suppose in my kitchen with fan running just get that done. But not assembling all the engine and tranny stuff inside.
I have heard the temps in Redding area supposed to be over a week of 110. Upper Lake Ranger District near Ukiah for trail riding may be put off till October, if this is what it is like there also.
I got mosquito bites on my arms and even right close to the incision area, but after a day and Domeboro solution, there going away and not a bother now. I’d say it is time for an It’s It Ice-cream Sandwich.
