Wishing my honey didn't have to work and could've joined. I feel better now and ready to go to work myself.
Just moved to Fountain Hills. This heat will take a while to get used to.

I thought you meant was "no riding" a good thing? Yes, of course we have A/C at work. Having a 20 foot commute is real nice, though.

That's a little funny. I moved out here in 1986 and I'm still not used to it. The worst of it comes in July, August and September. It never cools down even in the morning and at night it'll be in the 100's. I usually hang up my gear until it cools down some. You're gonna love the winters though.

Welcome to the AZ.
