OT Weather

Post by Brendan Hoban » Fri Jan 25, 2019 2:50 am

I know you have ice and snow in the US but here in Australia it's hot.

My dashboard temperature gauge was showing 47.5 degrees celsuis during a heatwave here in Victoria.

That's 117.5 degrees Farenheight, not suitable weather for a T Ford radiator!.

I feel your pain, Here in Nevada, we have many hot days like yours. I was having some trouble with over heating until I install a new berg radiator.

Am still pleased when the heat and humidity goes elsewhere, and while we have moderation in our seasons....
BTW - Heat has been turned off, and 'The Frozen Tundra' is allowed to winter just like our own yards around here. Woke this morning to see the thermometer to read "-20.0 F", so will agree with the statement "You know it's cold outside when you go outside and it's cold." An Army friend had been stationed in Alaska, and experienced -70 F, to which I'll say "No, thanks!"
Meanwhile, Twoo and Cranky are snuggled in their heated shop, and I can always dress warm enough to get out there! (No driving is planned....)

We are only temporary guests here.

"Let's Figgur it owt!" Just fix it (right), and make it work.....
Aah-OO-Gah! (and), "Happy T-ing!"
