Thanks for the thoughts LB, as you said, trying to take it easy, as much as work will allow anyway.
Agreed, I don't deal well with heat either.  I have a bad habit of not staying hydrated enough and really get a bad case of the wobblies.
We usually bring bottled water in the coolers along with the beer, but I think this Sunday at IMS, it might be a good idea to actually drink the water. instead of carrying it in, and then back to the car after the race.

 It was just too hot even to drink beer!


Which you couldn't on the circuit, 'cos all the bars beer machinery couldn't cope with the heat and broke down.
Must have cost them a fortune in lost sales.

Which explaines why they tried to ban beerbottles last year, trying to make up for lost revenue....  Grin

Thanks Nobby, it gets better everyday.  The Kawasaki came out it better than I did, I broke her fall.
This is a nice little article from The weather Channel regarding Sunday's Indianapolis 500, we're toast...

Just found this weather site (foreign, but Chrome translates it well). I like the info on it.

Bloody hot at Le Mans at the minute. Has already been up to 34 degrees this week. Weather looking good for the next few weeks (but never trust the French weather forcasts!)

AccuWeather showing it as rain for race weekend now, plenty of time for that to improve though, and it will!  Wink

Looks like a wet start to the week nothing worse than putting tents up in the rain. Hang on....... could be at home staring at the old lady with her pointing out jobs around the house that need doing ( Bring on the downpour )  Evil Evil Evil

Thanks for the well wishes Phil, unfotunately it hurts to breathe, bend, lay down, sit up, etc (coughing or sneezing feels like the little bugger from alien is popping out of your chest).  I've heard horror stories about broken ribs, but nothing compares to actually being through it.  That said, there are colleagues of ours on here who have had to deal with much worse, so I'm not going to bitch & complain too loud.  Hope the guys from DFH have a great time in Indy, like I said, its going to be a scorcher.  We're in our usual location in stand J at the exit of turn four, coming onto the pit staright.

Hi Fax! it was indeed a scorcher, but very entertaining, great time, good fun! we must have been close since we had a spot in stand J as well, section 26 Smiley

I'll bet it's not this week!
I drove through La Sarthe on Sat returning to Lux from the Vendée, but I know the "Oest France" region will be cooler, and wetter, this week.
