How'd the interview go? Good luck with it.
During 2011, the Seattle area has had just 78 minutes of summer which a meterologist defined as the amount of time the temp was 80F and above. And if the calculation is based on amount of time the temp has been at or above 75 the answer is....18 hrs and 48 minutes, woohoo!!!

On the bright side, moto riding has been great with cooler temps and minimal rain.
And during the summer if we want heat and dry wind we head over the Cascades to eastern WA about 90 minutes away from Seattle.
Yeah, that's me a fair weather rider. I have to be near Chicago this afternoon, if it wasn't for the stop and go traffic that I know I'm going to hit on the way back, I would have ridden the bike. I didn't relish the thought of sitting at all those stop lights with the fans kicking on while I bake in my jacket and helmet.
I can't speak for the rest of the guys but I stay here cuz it's where my job and my family are. I love the changing of the seasons and in the winter, it's time to get the sleds out!
Warming up nicely out there, 92 with an index of 105. Rather balmy.
Bring on the fall!
SSShhhhh, dont tell anyone, it rains everyday, we have 2 very large active volcanos (Mt Rainer and St Helens), and live in constant fear of a major lahar! Nothing to see, move on
I didn't think the 08's had a heat problem......
Hit 72, had to figure how to open the vents on my helmet. Man, I can't wait for cooler temps, I may have to cage it tomorow
Why, I aughta...kick yer arse!!Finished it fer ya
Finished it fer ya
chilly 59 this morning, almost broke out the gerbings, chose a fluffy liner instead. Also closed the vents. If we see anything above 68 today it'll be a miracle. By chance, have any of you tried the evapo vests? They work as advertised, or better. Have a cold glass of water or tea on me, I'll drink a hot coffee for you. I can't wait till this winter when y'all start talking about winterizing yer bikes!
Here's to cooler weather for those of you who aint as fortunate as me,
Thanks, it went very well! Looks like we will be moving in September. The job will entail working alot of hours, but very rewarding. And besides that, the "signifcant heat waves" will be few and far between!
I'm about ready to buy one of those evap vests!
Thank God our bikes spit in the face of extreme heat. I run mine through the Sonoran desert without issue. Mostly at idle speed. My ADV bike was at home, and like not having the right tool fopr the job i had to do the best i could
Steve couldnt handle our currently 60.1 and %100 humidity we have! I guess I shouldnt have worn the mesh gear today
