It’s the Dog Days of Summer.
From Wikipedia: The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius (known colloquially as the “Dog Star”), which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Actually we are a week outside the OFFICIAL Dog Days of Summer, that’s okay Oklahoma is behind in a lot of things.
In 2024 Oklahoma was 49th in Education among the states. Thanks New Mexico!
We are 37th in crime…
48th in Healthcare! West Virginia and Mississippi are still worse.
On the good side!!!!!
2025 US News ranked Oklahoma City was named #1 Big City to live in!!!!
When it comes to food, Oklahoma is #1 in Onion Burgers and probably chicken fried steak. I’d say we are top 5 in BBQ too.
When it comes to oppressive heat we are rocking it on that too!!!
It’s too hot to work in the shoppe. I’ve tried to get out in this hell-scape but my 60 year old body is not my 40 year old body and I’ve had a mutiny. My brain still thinks I’m 40 so my body chronologically aged is 60+.
I’ve got a few things I’ve been putting off fixing. They aren’t all that important individually, but necessary.
Zip tie some wires. I’ve got a bunch of failed zip ties underneath. I bought some special for this and I need to get under and get this sorted.
Rear brake line bracket. I cut the bracket off so I didn’t have to deal with the brake lines. Now it’s just hanging and needs to be reattached.
Rust. I bought some rust converter. I could use it very judiciously to make some stuff look better and to stop the rust.
GMRS Radio. I need a solution for my GMRS radio that would make it portable. Was thinking ammo can… haven’t decided exactly.
Not in the video. I have to seal up the floor of the passenger side footwell where I welded and it melted off the stone chip coating.
That’s about it. Like and subscribe, hell drop me an email or comment on the video. Share it with friends at parties…
May the wind take your troubles away….Thanks for reading and Happy Rovering.
