It's 88 degrees with a real feel of 96 degrees. It's so humid you can cut it with a knife. And they say rain is coming... :cry:

Now , not meaning to be too OT... :roll: Yet another question arises ... Wouldn't this be a good time of year to install aluminum siding on a trailer ? ... :o Deductive reasoning would have us believe since the metal is "expanded " that it would be forever tight ... Cold weather , it would just get "tighter" ... :thinking: I don't know about TD s , having never done one in aluminum , but I see an awful lot of CT's around here just wrinkled as a (your word here ) in the Heat !!! They must have been assembled in Cold weather ... Some are still tight as a drum in this hellish heat ... What's the real story on this ??? Does that make sense in the real TD world ???

another hot one today. gosh these temps are horrible. although, they are calling for a cold front to come thru. they say temps should be in the 90's with low to no humidity. now i don't know who "they" are but 90's to me is not a cold front. :lol:

Been getting warmish here today, and I been working in my metal clad shop with no insulation. Feeling a bit like the Pillsberry Dough Boy in a Coleman stove top oven.
