Breaking the "ice" from the norm just a bit, you can tell when your having too hot of a day when..

...you're engine is cold in the garage and your temperature gauge reads this!

Yep, that's not good. I used to see the same thing when I lived in the CA central Valley also. PKMH, it's just a good thing Healeys never came with humidity gauges. You would really feel bad.

Not to worry, Rob, feeling bad enough at this moment and don't need another gauge to remind me. If I did have such a gauge, I'd just restore it and leave it as is for show purposes only (or maybe put a clock in its place).
