First 80 F Day Of The Year
« on: February 09, 2016, 05:46:16 PM »
Had our first 80 F, 27 C, day of the year yesterday, 85 F, 29 C on Feb. 8, a bit early, it was 32 F, 0 C, last Wednesday !!

I was working in the garage on the '82 LS, needs a carb synchronization, idle rpm's are getting too high .

It was 97 F, 36 C in the garage in the afternoon .

Looks like mid 80's, 28-29 C, for the next week, so much for winter !!!!!! ;D

I take back all those taunts I threw out to my northern friends about how nice and warm it stays in the south. We are having overnight lows in the low 30's F with a daily high in the low 40's F. You live in an oven Bob.
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

Here in Southern California I've been using the air in the car all week. The 7 day forecast is mid to high 80's with a low of 50 at night
 
Right now here on the patio it is 72 at 8:20 PM If you love the Seasons, this isn't the place to be.

Won't last, Bob. El Nino will have you in the century degrees within a few weeks.

With CAVU sky and temps in the mid-70s, I plan to exercise three of my bikes today -couple Airheads and the Trophy 900.
