I'm really glad that our Canadian friends are getting close to being fully vaccinated and returning to normal life. Here in Michigan, we lift all our Covid restrictions on July 1.

How hot is it? If you haven't been paying attention, here in BC we have been breaking temperature records for not just the day, month or the region but for all time in Canada. It's been insanely hot. Lytton, BC which is about 3 hours NE of metro Vancouver just hit 49.4 C or 120.92 F. This is hotter that the all time temperature for Las Vegas. Here in the big city of Coquitlam we hit 42 C or 107.5 F yesterday which is 5 C or 9 F more than the previous record. My old stomping grounds of Kamloops hit 46 C today. Last I heard, Vancouver has had 50 people perish from the heat, Burnaby 34 and Surrey 38, mostly elderly people.

I lived in Mesa, AZ (suburb of Phoenix). Hottest I remember was 121 F, so that's some serious shit you're going through!
Stay hydrated and safe.

The heat dome that made temperatures scorching at the coast has moved into central BC and Alberta so things are a little cooler for us. Lytton ended up at 49.6 C which is 121 F, Kamloops finished with a high of 47.3, absolutely unreal. Places like Grande Prairie, Alta hit 40.2 and Nahanni Butte NWT made it to 38.1. The freezing level has risen to unprecedented elevations bringing melts to glaciers not having such high temperatures previous. Parts of the Pemberton Valley north of Whistler BC had to be evacuated from the danger of flash floods from melting glaciers. There will be that very same danger in towns around the Rocky Mountains on both sides of the Continental Divide, I would think.

Nine years ago my parents sold their property in Nanaimo and went into partnership with us to build a new house on our property here in Coquitlam. We heat the house using a heat pump which works as an A/C in summer heat. My father who's 88 years old and my mother, about to be 82 very soon live downstairs. We're in a very good position with them and us surviving this unprecedented heat wave. This is the second TGIF moment for me, the other was when they sold their RV in Wellton AZ after 22 winters being snowbirds at the end of February 2020 and came home before COVID smacked the state. Big relief, that was.

I'd like to hear more about this elsewhere if you don't mind. I've always been curious about this type. Does it use a refrigerant or move air from somewhere else?

I see that the record high there was 92 (33.5)....guess that didn't stand!

Good to hear everyone in your neck of the woods is all right!

Would you consider a tornado passing within 2km of your house close?

nah, had a rocket grenade launched by the Taliban land about 60m away from me and that didn't bother me.............then again I'm blue collar, enough friends and colleagues maimed and dead from work and a couple close calls myself (once fell thigh deep into the cyanide destruction tank before I yarded myself out) that you end up with a very different idea of "close call"

Make sure you explain to them how you got the cash, that you didn't require masks, that it was strange everyone seemed to have a cold and then for good measure, have a coughing fit and use the cash to cover your mouth before giving it to them :laugh:

Got a fine with no points on my license. It's all just a cash grab, which the cop told me when he pulled me over. When I went to pay the clerk I explained but I saw the judge glaring at me while she counted the hundred in singles. :lol: If he said anything I was going to say he can't discriminate against me and my career worth of savings from my night job. But he was too busy telling another dude why he shouldn't drive drunk.
