The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

[300winmag]

It's been my experience that leather seats are quite a bit better in hot weather than, say... vinyl. Leather cools to the touch pretty fast.

I think sheepskin seatcovers are the best of all. Never burning in the summer, nice and cozy in the winter. The first thing I do when I get a new car is get sheepskin seatcovers. My butt's worth it.

Dude, where've you been?

Rosie, my little sister, and I just tripped down to Denver to see "Howl's Moving Castle" so I don't have to resent you for seeing that any more. But I do have to reread the book because I don't remember a lot of it.

300 winmag; mrsnad's cousin, a Marine Cobra pilot, is leavin' fer his 2nd tour in Iraq on the 6th... yuh got anything you can send in time?...

AUGUST 6th? I've got two Gerber LMFs being engraved right now. They should be ready Wednesday. I can pop one in the mail then, if I have an address.

The Camillus BK2 is also a favorite with helo pilots, but the Gerber is a bit slicker.

I'd concur with that. My Dad's car has sheepskin covers in it, and I'll admit they're pretty nice in hot weather.

My mustang has [black] leather seats, and they do get pretty toasty if I leave the top down in the sun. BUT: the instant you sit on them, they cool right down. Its not like vinyl that sears onto your skin and sticks there.

Steering wheels are a problem for me when they get white hot. So I got one of those aluminized plastic-bubble sunshades for the windshield. It keeps the interior cooler, and prevents color fade from all that sunlight.

Sometimes those sunshades work too well. That heat has already come through the glass, but has not been transmitted into the car's interior. The heat has to go somewhere, so it's trapped between the inside of the glass, and the sunshade. I came back once, and found the rearview mirror on the floor. The trapped heat got the inside of the glass so hot, it loosened the adhesive that held the mirror on.

Ouch. That's hot. :-)

I never actually saw it. But they said they cleared people to return home around 9:30 last night.

[Overtaxed]

That's good. I expect everybody will need their air conditioners today.

Our rain hasn't showed up yet.
