In the low 80s here in the Deep South. :p

That's way too high!
Strong upper level ridge is pumping desert air north.

I just went to my last range yesterday.
It was for 5.56, so I couldn't fire my M110.
Somehow I still have a company asigned M4, so I went out there and zeroed it and qualified with it.
I guess it is my backup weapon. Not that I plan to use it, ever.
After firing the M110, I have seen the light and come over to the 7.62 crowd.
To think that back in Eretz I hated the 7.62mm Galil AR and loved the 5.56 SAR.
Oh dude, it wasn't even the pop-up target range.
The qual was on the friggin paper targets at 25m in the zero range.
The SFC dude from Bco running the range came to me after I got 40 out of 40, and asked me to do the same again firing one of the 20 rds mag from kneeling and the other from standing.
I got 40 out of 40 again. :lol:
Line infantry dudes should stay away from the battalion sniper section.
It is amazing how much shit they talk about us.
We treated our snipers well. They were the coolest guys at battalion. Besides S6 of course. :cool:
Paper targets. :lol:

Oh we got no problem with the shops.
They are all cool.
Just yesterday one of my friends in S6 fixed my CAC card that wasn't working.
We invest a lot in having good relations with the shops.
Only dumb line infantry joes think they can live, let alone fight a war, all on their own.
Well, the sniper section is part of HHC, which helps a lot in getting to know all the guys in the shops.
That's another advantage over the line.
They don't even know that S2 and S3 are the ones generating our missions, and that without S6 there is no comms, no retrans station, no SKL load, no FBCB2, no TGER net, etc.
Is it TGER or TIGR? I know it doesn't have one of the vowels.

Wow, it was hotter in the Yukon than in Arkansas today :o
I've lived in WA, it is really really hot there. They have a place there called "The Great Sandy Desert". Unsurprisingly it is big, full of sand and uninhabitable by anybody but big Red Kangaroos.

Enjoy it while it lasts. :menace:
Here in the northeast we only began to get summer weather about two weeks ago, in any consistent way. Been rainy and cool for much of the summer. Going to cool off tomorrow and the next couple of days but get hot/humid again next week.
record heat in Vancouver these days. Every store selling out of fans and water as Vancouverites are only slightly less prone to panic than Springfield.
Today was the wettest July on record in Arkansas. We got a total of 12 inches of rain.
:nelson: Texas

Same here. It's like it's the monsoon season. Kinda ruins the summer, boating and fishing-wise. :(
I for one, have enjoyed the break the Ohio and Miami valley has gotten from the usual 90+ degree heat of July.
Massachusetts, and probably all or most of the New England states, had rain for most of the days of June, and a lot of July as well. Remains to be seen what happens with August. Last summer I remember my lawn stayed pretty green through most of the summer, where usually it's brown and dried out by mid summer. So we had more rain last summer too.
July was pretty nice over all, but not as hot as it usually might be. The last week or two have been hot though.
The weather this summer reminds me why I love living in Michigan. It's been pleasant for the most part. Only a few days have been above 90F, most have been in the 70's and 80's.
Beebs, how many F's is 32C? Is that about 95F?
Closer to 90, apprently
With all the hot weather Vancouver has been getting all the mold in condos will soon disappear and a large restoration industry will be put out of business. :cry:
Some people around here are starting to take global warming seriously.
Yeah, the moment the heat goes up, people start screaming and running for cover, linking in their minds the heat with global warming, like if such a thing could exist.

OK this is better, you are saying that global warming is an impossibility. Why is that?

Because the weather is constantly changing on its own.

What stops it from changing to a generally warmer climate?

My parents flew in from Winnipeg today.
They kept commenting on how this is the first time they've felt warm all summer.
