Well, the heat has finally arrived for the first time this year in Southern California. Yesterday it was 100 and I went out for a 35 mile ride. I brought 3 bottles with me and refilled 2 of the 3 on the way home. I think a full bottle of water weighs around 3 lbs. which means I consumed 15 lbs. of water in total and it still wasn't enough. I left the apartment marking my weight just for that reason. I weighed 186 lbs. out the door and even after drinking 5 bottles of water, I weighed 181 before I hit the shower. It wasn't a bad ride though, just very warm.

Today it went up to 104 here. It's 9:30 pm now and the temperature is only down to 92. Last night I don't think the temp. went below 80 all night so I'm sure the same will remain the case tonight. So away the A/C cranks.

I have finally finished planting the fish aquarium. Now I just need the plants to take and start growing. The fish certainly seem to enjoy all of the real plants instead of the fake ones.
