hawkdriver Posted July 9, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2010 Hit the ground here in Kuwait, stepped off the plane into a 119 degree hair dryer. This place truely sucks. Haji shops are still intact, so if you have anything you are looking for, theatre made, drop me a PM and I will check items as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misanthropic_Gods Posted July 9, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2010 Glad to see you made it in safe and sound....119 degrees...It was only 101 here a few days ago, and I thought that was hot! I might be sending you a PM within the next day or so if I can think of anything theater made that is on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkdriver Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted July 9, 2010 It made it up to 122 today before the winds did a 180 shift and cooled way down, its 2115 now and only 105 outside, rather chilly. They are saying it will be up to 127 as a heat wave rolls through. I can handle the heat, it's the 15 mph winds that make it miserable. I can send a bag of sand, but the shipping will be astronomical as I will have to heavily bribe a cusotoms guy to let that through the mail! One of those forbidden items. Yes, tex, it is a dry heat. You can walk all day and draw a bead of sweat, but step out of the heat into a building and it feels like someone threw a bottle of water on you. Thanks all for the well wishes.

Johnny Signor Posted July 10, 2010 Share #9 Posted July 10, 2010 Hey dude, glad you safe and sound and on the ground ! You take care and keep your head down ,or should I say up and all around, anyway, keep safe and get back home asap ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkdriver Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted July 10, 2010 Actually, we had a weather phenomena happen, the winds changed 180 degrees, went to light and variable, and a cold front came thorugh. It is expected to only get up to 109 today and was in the 90's last night. This is supposed to last for two days, then as the perverbial joke goes, back on your heads, on Monday.

There is a whole thread on country made stuff that I have going. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...c=81228&hl= If you want anything specific, wait until I get up in country, won't have much time left here to get anything done. Just send a picture or a very good description of what you want and I can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
