As I write this from mid-state Minnesota (112 miles north of Mpls), it’s 66 degrees with a brisk breeze coming from the NW off the lake. Ann is wrapped in a blanket on the couch and we turned on the forced air furnace.
But guess what the forecast is for next week when we want to camp out @ Airventure? 91 degrees! I guess we forgot to put in a request for comfortable temps for the airshow…
 
Rolf,

Have a safe flight! I hope you and Ann keep cool and dry at OSH.
 
Here in Saint Louis is like a 100 degrees!!! your description or mid-state Minnesota makes me want to move up there!!! :D:D:D:D
 
In Phoenix, we are looking forward to having 100 degree days again.

Lack of humidity helps, but 112 is 112.
 
We all have our standards don’t we?

Could be worse. Could be 114!:D:cool::D
 
Ann had volunteered to go to Airventure with me this year, but she has officially canceled now that the forecast includes temperatures in the 90’s. I was surprised she’d agreed to go in the first place, as she’s more of a Glamper than a Camper. But in reality, she would have been Glamping next to a Commander…so I have to give her credit for that!
 
Rolf, she made a good call....it was HOT. Maybe not 90s but high 80s
 
I might fly over Sunday when the high temp is 81…
we’re busy doing maintenance @ the cabin until then.
But I’ve heard that even the vendors have packed up by then, any truth to this rumor?
 
Hey guys....the human body can withstand 90 degree temperatures. I did not go this year, but I have been 10-12 times and I will take 90+ degree temperatures over near tornadic storms that seemingly happened every year.

Those are scary in a tent.
 
Gang ... Tony V, his Commander partner Peter and I went earlier in the week. It was horribly hot, but thank goodness, we had an air-conditioned house. Great fun. But I did see many ambulances on the grounds.
 
Think Sun n Fun might be more fun next. At least it’s spring temps …
