Temp's and Humidity where I live

Can't let billy be the only active blogger...so here are my comments.
1. It's hot and muggy this evening here in KC, MO. In fact it's almost a new temperature record for this time of the year at 89 F and around 45% humidity. Yeah, I know there's lots of places with higher temps and humidity...but I'm here. Actually, I'm glad to have this unusual fall weather instead of the usual cold blasts of air we sometimes get at this time. All I need to do is turn on the ceiling fans and keep the doors open a little wider. I should be thankful for this great weather...and I am.

The other day I stepped out at 6:30am and it was so humid it felt like 90 degrees and 99 percent humidity. It was a very disgusting day. A few days later there was virtually no humidity (none as far is Galveston is concerned), and it was a nice day with a pleasant breeze. It was so nice outside we actually went to a restaurant and ate on the outside patio. It was a very nice change of pace from the suffocating humidity.Posted 10-05-2007 at 10:18 PM by TexasT

45%--I wish!
Hello Oxford. When it is 70% humidity here it's a dry day for us.

I went fishing both Thursday and Today(Saturday)8/29/09 at Smithville Lake. Now to just say I've gone fishing doesn't express what that means to me.
To me, fishing starts about 8:30 a.m. when I begin loading my '06 Jeep Grand Cherekee and my old renovated aluminum 16' Sea Nymph deep V fishing boat with all the required things, plus some things I just like to have with me...like a rain coat, sweat shirt/jacket, 12 Pack Playmate cooler with ice and two diet cokes, cell phone, digital camera, two chocolate bars(lunch)...plus the requried things for boats...life jacket, floatation seat, fire extingisher, emergency air horn, proof of fishing license(I'm exempt since in MO 65 and older don't need one), sun block, zip lock plastic bags to put fish fillets in...on top of ice in cooler, rubber wading hip boots if if fish by myself so I don't have to wade into the water to launch my boat, minnow bucket, fishing tackle box(loaded with too many lures, etc.) and more.
Get to Smithville Lake, stop for the Clay County Park Dept. person who checks my season pass for my vehicle and boat trailer(cost me $81 for a season(senior discounted) for one year, drive to launch ramp, back trailer down ramp(checking rear view mirrow often), stop about 8 ft before boat gets to water so I can load "stuff" from my trunk into my boat, put on rubber waders, back trailer into the water till it just about floats off, set brakes/put in park, and finally wade into water a ways till I can step on trailer fender and up and into boat. Then back boat back away from trailer a ways till I can then drive forward up alongside boat slip next to a "cleat" so I can tie my boat there while I drive Jeep and trailer out of the water and park it about 50 yards away in the proper parking spots for boat trailers.
Then walk back to boat, take off rubber boots, put on tennis shoes, untie rope holding boat to slip, and back away.
Now...after all this it's time to head to a place in a huge lake where I hope to have luck catching crappie...or whatever might get on the hooks.
Ok..Enough of this for now..I'll continue on this blog next time telling about how I get from boat slip to the spot in the lake where I fish...and what I look for when I'm looking for a good fishing spot.Posted 08-29-2009 at 08:47 PM by Oxford
