Got this info from the NWS. -------------- The following directions apply to all types of thermometers, from classic mercury thermometers to new-age digital temperature sensors. 1. Place the thermometer 5 feet above the ground (+/- 1 ft.). A thermometer too low will pick up excess heat from the ground and a thermometer too high will likely have too cool of a temperature due to natural cooling aloft. 5 ft. is just right. 2. The thermometer must be placed in the shade. If you put your thermometer in full sunlight, direct radiation from the sun is going to result in a temperature higher than what it should be. 3. Have good air flow for your thermometer. This keeps air circulating around the thermometer, maintaining a balance with the surrounding environment. Therefore, it is important to make sure there are no obstructions blocking your thermometer such as trees or buildings. The more open, the better. 4. Place the thermometer over a grassy or dirt surface. Concrete and pavement attract much more heat than grass. That is why cities are often warmer compared to suburbs. It is recommended to keep the thermometer at least 100 ft. from any paved or concrete surfaces to prevent an erroneously high temperature measurement.

Well, according to the NWS, the official temp for Phoenix was 118, which broke the old record of 115. My thermometer got to 120 here in Mesa. And tomorrow I gotta work in it! What's the sick call number again!?

I work in this sh;t too! Arizona native. Born and raised in Northern Arizona. Moved to Phoenix metro in 1990. I'm ready to give this all up, walk away and start all over again back up north. The summers are getting to be too much for me lately. Hard to walk away from the job tho....

The Hornaday Critical defense 115 grain is great ammo.

I have the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield as my ccw. I know you said no sub compact, but that's a sweet little gun. With a proper IWB holster, I hardly notice it on my side. Maybe she can take a second look. Good luck!

14 points. I applied for Unit 7..... . . . . . Just kidding....think my choice is obvious!

Yup. Been on many fires that were spotted 4-5 days after the storm passes. It will just smolder until all the right conditions come together. Then boom! It takes off. There were storms in the area just a few days ago, so it's possible.

You're about 9 years away!

Man, I love a big mule deer. Beautiful! That bad boy deserves his own wall!

Friend on Facebook posted some recent pics from Long Lake. Wow! Last time I was up there was about 2 years ago. Was shocked to see these pics.

Impressive! http://67.media.tumblr.com/340afe34aa56c1ba6f8747f702892b17/tumblr_o74ec9064C1tlb56zo1_500.gif

Change the theme to IP.Board if you like the blue and white.

Sorry, wrong link. http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/tonto/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD503157

Several lightening caused fires up and along the Rim country. At least 3 or 4 I believe. They're all being allowed to burn. http://m.azdailysun.com/news/local/smoke-from-managed-fires-blankets-flagstaff/article_0315a1a6-f9f1-5863-9c68-ef9245d0959e.html

It's because people think it's another 3 day weekend party! 80% of the idiots have no clue. As long as they have their Facebook status updated, inner tube and cold beer in hand, it's just another long weekend to have a good time.

The males are perched on my fence every morning still "kaa" calling looking for a mate!

Cool vid! That wasn't even close! Lol Saw better races back in the day on Central Ave between Camelback and McDowell!

I grew up around all those lake. Sad to see for sure. Soldiers and Soldiers Annex look better. She also posted these.

Beautiful! That third picture from the Navajo Reservation is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Glad they were able to fulfill his wish. Sad, but happy for him. Thanks for sharing.

heck, if you guys are throwing money around, I got 14 deer points for the first fanatic that wants the best coues tag in the state. It will only cost you $1000. I can then surrender my tag, reinstate my points and get back to my regularly scheduled program of applying for 13B. And be $1000 richer! :) <Disclaimer> Sarcasm alert.

RIP. Prayers to his young family.
