It's back...

 

Well, from my perspective, it never went away.  Another Extreme Heat Warning for the next 3 days, with temps expected to be 111º to 115º.  The last 4 or 5 days have been more "normal" - typical daytime high is around 105º.  I guess we have acclimated... I find myself saying "only" when the daytime highs are around 103º.

Warnings by the local media to "avoid being outside during the hottest part of the day."  Mark, Podge, and I are playing out for a group at Banner Health (near downtown) today.  We'll be loading in equipment at 3:00.  So, fun.

Actually, I'm looking forward to the playing.  In air conditioned comfort.

 

Check out the time on that image above.

Loading up...

Joan, as usual, had a good suggestion: take the Equinox out of the garage, turn it around, back it in, and load up in the garage...


 It is 109º out currently, and the driveway is in the sun - this is much better.  The gear at the door, ready to go to the garage...


 Loaded...


 We'll have to unload in the heat, so it was good to skip that step for loading into the SUV.

Murphy wanted to visit his cousins.  Instead of him going over to their house, he invited them to ours.  The boys are back in town...

 The gig is a wrap.  Our placement in the room was a bit snug, but we made it work.  Joan shot some video of the playing - I'll try to work something up tomorrow.  In the meantime, here's a few screen grabs...
