95-100% humidity?Just discussing with a buddy that the summer has been ludicrously mild. We haven't had but maybe three days in the '90's.
Today is warm.

Turn that traction control off, please.
I was in pavement….so, but I hate that shit off road.Turn that traction control off, please.
Yeah, that shit is worthless.I was in pavement….so, but I hate that shit off road.
I’ve had coworkers that get “stuck” and then I drive their truck out after turning that shit off lol
Dude, I’d take that weather in a second. That’s basically our short Fall or Spring seasons lolYeah, that shit is worthless.
The newer dump truck has it and it gets stuck in snot, the air ride doesn’t help either.
The old Peterbilt would roast ‘em in mud lol.
My truck has it too and I turn it off whenever I go off road or if it snows. T/C drives me nuts.
Hot as fuck during the day, but perfect at night.

It’s not that bad, but it really sucks at work. We’ve been out in the open with no good shade all week, so it gets old after a couple hours. We’ve been getting afternoon showers for the past week and a half too, the top heavy weather chic calls it monsoonal rain and I believe her.Dude, I’d take that weather in a second.

Man dude, we need rain badly so have miss too heavy send us some monsoonal rain! Wildfires have been popping up all over, and idiots flicking cigarettes out their windows. Nothing substantial yet, but it’s crazy dry here right now. One of the ranches we’ve been working on just had about 130 acres get nuked, some guy welding without a spotter and it got out of hand. No crazy big fires, but it’s primed. Our main lake is down to just about 50%. And some springs are ceasing to flow until we get some recharge to the aquifer. Nothing super unusual, these cycles happen every La Nina, but it does suck at those times.It’s not that bad, but it really sucks at work.

We’ve had wildfires across the state the past couple years. Thousands of acres, one swept through south of Boulder and killed some folks because it was so fast. We’ve been fortunate towards the central and southern part of the state so far, but it’s not an issue of “if” but “when”.Man dude, we need rain badly so have miss too heavy send us some monsoonal rain!

Part of my field work is on construction sites where they’ve cleared land, and like you said it’s sucks when there is absolutely zero shade to catch a reprieve.
Wuddya gonna do….it’s summer in TX ?
I was in Golden a couple years back and there were nearby fires…might have been that Boulder event now that you mention it. The sky was all hazy and you couldn’t even see the mountains in the background. And it constantly smelled like campfire everywhere.

Down by the New Mexico border is always dryer than a popcorn fart. Fuck, I thought I blew a match out and tossed it and the grass caught fire when I was turkey hunting a couple years ago.
We had a field catch fire because someone’s exhaust was hanging and throwing sparks lol
Nice
That is nice temps
