Thats hot for sure... The hotest day I ever experienced was in Dallas... It was 113 degrees that day... It was horrible... we had like 63 consecutive days of triple digits that year.. At 12 midnight it cooled down to 98.. I lived there for 19 years... It was tough..

No, but I did put 8 gallons of 100 octane in this morning. Gets rid of that "Heat Ping"!

You can feel it was down on power, but in that heat so was I.

I lost 6 pounds yesterday. Wonder what HP gain that was?

High today in Livermore 115°.
