Robert,
Just to let you compare, at 2:30 pm today:
Albuquerque---- 93*, Humidity 25%, "feels like" 90*
Dallas ------------ 97*, Humidity 36%, "feels like" 100*
Houston --------- 96*, Humidity 53%, "feels Like" 110*
Corpus Christi - 98*, Humidity 68%, "feels like" 117*
It's not going to get much better until October in South Texas. This is about the worst time to come to TX and work outdoors. If you decide--based on the feedback you get--to wait until the temps are more hospitable, certainly I can wait.
Let us know what you decide. You will be extremely welcome whenever you come.

hooray!
If you're gonna swing through Waco - on I-35 between Dallas and Austin, two hours to either - during the evening, I'd love to buy you dinner and some 93. Pretty sure I owe you at least that much from all the help your videos have been. If you're in either Dallas or Austin in the evening, I can make the drive out to you. I never sleep before midnight anyway.
If the schedule or location doesn't work out, I won't be offended - I dig that you're optimizing your route to maximize your helpfulness.

LOL, Matthew, my ac is blowing like 27 degrees F right now. Super cold. My wife rides with her coat on and a blanket close by.
As for the heat, I'm aware of the pain. I believe I'm in this sweet spot in life right now that allows me to be as tough as I have ever been. Probably that stage of life right before the same conditions causes fainting and black outs. lol
Looking forward to the trip.

We will have the red carpet out!
Maybe in the next couple of weeks, we will get a little break in this weather. But my wife wants to know what flavor Gatorade you prefer. Seriously.
