Having lived in Ohio my entire life (not always by choice) the heat and humidity is just a fact of life for me. I love hot weather and humidity has never bothered me - I guess because I've been swimming in it so long.

All that being said, Columbus is interesting (even for Ohio) because the weather varies from hour to hour. The two days that it doesn't rain are so awesome it makes it worth dealing with the one that it does - two outta three ain't bad kind of thing. The only problem today is it's moving too slow - which isn't common here. Normally these type of storms do a quick drive-by, and everything is dry (albeit hot and sticky) an hour or so later. This little gang of clouds isn't supposed to clear out until later this afternoon. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be perfect (albeit hot and sticky).

I still haven't ruled out going today. I have one eye on the computer screen, one out the window, and one on the TV (news), trying to make a decision. Wait that's too many eyes! That's why people think I look funny!

Definitely bring that 32 here next year Greg! You'll have a blast (cringes and looks at the clouds)! If you look at the average size of the waistlines here, you'll realize that there must also be a lot of awesome restaurants - Central Ohio people love to eat! I can't figure out why the crew here comes all the way to Columbus to go to Texas Roadhouse though. Nothing wrong with TR, but there are more interesting spots...

Turned out to be a pretty nice day here, glad I didn't stay home. Vendors are hitting the AutoX now to help dry up a few damp spots for SMOY guys.

Started a pic thread in the Goodguys Events forum, to keep everything in its proper place. Sorry there are so few, and such limited content, I kept forgetting I had a camera on my side. Tomorrow's another day...

Greg, don't worry about the weather, 7000 cars will be there regardless. It is worth the trip just to hang out with everyone
