Price you pay for not having to deal with the funky white stuff. Humidity is not supposed to be quite as high, so it'll only be 8:30 standing in the shade, soaked with sweat, rather than 8 am.
But yeah, there's supposed to be some huge immoveable High Pressure system stalled over the top of us for the next 3 weeks, and we're supposed to be seeing high temps of 96o to 102o until June 12. And, we're already 2 - 3 weeks into dry, and a week into HOT and dry. Personally I think their computer vacationed in Colorado and found someone's Magical Mushrooms.

Given the choice between that and
I'll take the funky white stuff any day!
(BTW, I'm surprised you didn't pick up on the small hint of exposed toes in sandals - with no white socks - in my newest sale thread from last night, lol. Snow's gone - now it's just sandals instead of socks and sandals.
)
It was late, I may have been asleep when I passed that thread. Or, maybe I was putting Marc's slippers on the wrong feet, or something. 
I agree with @Sprung ,give me the snow any day!!!
NOPE!!!!
It's 86 now, 10:45 in the morning. We'll hit low 90s today, just fine with me!
Weather pattern could shift back this way and share a little of the rain you folks are getting out there. Getting seriously dry here. Fire index is through the roof. Ponds were out of the banks December through March, down about 3 ft now.
I wish we could,we don’t need anymore. The rivers that have flooded have gone down a bit but not as much as they should have by now.
Boring last couple weeks reorganization of shop. Finally got pipe hardware to support shelves in upstairs, this wall is about half of various turnings that made it past the cut for fire starter. Some pieces in here from other turners or other items I picked up over the years.
No before pic, but workbench was depressing how piled it was. I used one sheet of 1/2” plywood and some full extension slides to make these 4 pullouts. Took my level of organization for screw and nail boxes into a more sane approach.
Put up a couple shelves between cabinets on wall.
Still a lot of work, and culling of “stuff” to get where I want it.

First time I have turned on the table saw in probably four months. To busy with metal work. Made this stand/storage for my buffer. Small drawer for the buffs and compound. All scrounged from the scrap bin.

Leave my feet alone. I like my camo slippers....
Now what makes you think I'd mess with your feet??

Quack!!!
Not today on,y, but over the last few weeks. Really working on the stabilizing. I also drilled a couple of these so I can turn them. I fully realize I should have done this a few weeks ago, but really, not sure what I could have done differently. So, I pressed on. Mostly box elder with different amounts of burl. I also stabilized some curly, spalted maple from Larry (@FranklinWorkshops ). I still owe him a couple of pens....they are coming.
I am really excited for the pen blank swap, I feel as though I actually have something to contribute.
Also, my second attempt at castaways a complete failure!! Not sure if it was old resin or temp, but it failed. Well, I will be trying some alumilite later this week.

No hurry on the pens, Garry. The spalted looks great.
Uh oh....
Any parts missing?
Nah...just a real good deep slice.
When I bend my index finger, it squirts.
