High Temperatures

This morning we attended church before proceeding to the Oak Room in the Seelbach Hotel where we had the most scrumptious brunch. When Troy, our waiter, asked about our recent happenings we (of course) spoke at length regarding the details of our grease mobile which prompted much interest and conversation among the restaurant's staff.

Afterwards, we transported Brooke back to Cincinnati and her family in the greasecar. Today was sweltering with temperatures in the 90s. As we drove up I71 we noticed the temperature gauge for the grease was registering 184 degrees. Usually it's around 160-170 although I've witnessed it as high as 176 before. The diesel engine's temperature is 190 so I think we're safe as long as the grease doesn't become hotter than the car's engine. While in Cincinnati we made a detour over the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge which served as a prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge and has been in existence since 1867.
