A 1st for me. Coming in this morning at 2am from a week in Houston, I get to Corsicana and the difference in humidity was outrageous! When I watched the evening news in Houston yesterday the humidity was a pleasant 36%. i had to turn on the AC it was so noticeable.

Usually when I go to Houston, I can anticipate heavy humidity that is oppressive to say the least, this time Houston was probably the most pleasant i have ever seen.

March and April and even some of May is very pleasant in Houston, even downtown.

Since I work nights that would probably be true, during the day though, I dont want to be anywhere around Houston no matter how nice the "weather" is. Just to many people.

Well, while you are down there try to go by the Barbeque Inn on Crosstimbers and have a really good chicken fried steak.

Yesterday I started doing a repair on my compact tractor early in the morning (That's 9:00 AM since I retired.) because it is so much cooler. I got the repair done and then started working on my loader-backhoe putting rip-rap around two culverts I just installed. After a bit of work on that, I hauled clay for my dam until about 3:30 PM and it seemed to be oppressively hot. I came inside and found out that it was 93F outside. That's too darn hot for April. I called it quits and headed for the shower. Ain't being retired great?

I agree. Yesterday, I got out all my soaker hoses and laid them all the way around the house; got everything hooked up to start that kind of watering.

If I am around that area next time (and awake) I'll give it a go! Thanks. BTW Have you tried the "Smokestack" on I-20 in Thurber TX? Great CFS and good pies.http://www.smokestack.net/ Koffee Kup Cafe in Hico TX. has stellar pies and GREAT food too. I've talked to folks from NY who go there when they visit TX.

May need to "spring" for the AC cab Jaypa!! or you'll just keep getting re-tired from the heat.

I also have been dragging out the hoses, been so windy, the ground is drying out quick. If I had any brains, I would mulch the whole yard and call it a BIG flower pot and be done with it.
