You’re probably humid enough that swamp coolers won’t help?

Supply of bad people apparently outstrips demand. On a positive note, I have learned that I can speed in hot weather if I do it only in the afternoon.

I'm in Arkansas today and ran a 10K this morning since it was kind of near my hotel. I was dripping sweat at 7:30 in the morning at the starting line. That's just not right.

I like the traffic guys who pop on the lights and give you the I'm looking at you move.

Yep I could imagine.

I think you missed the part where he stated medications he takes are heat sensitive.

Also everyone's heat and cold tolerances are different.

I understand it is hot every where. We hit 100 this week. The humidity has been in the 90% area to go along with the temps.
The bright side is summer doesn't start for almost another week........

80 in Phoenix today, hope you have a scarf. :eek:

Back during college, I worked summers at Johns Manville fiberglass insulation plant in McPherson, KS. It was 12hr shift work, which sucked. But the pay was incredible and I lived in my parent's basement at the time so I made tons of money for a college kid.

They would take glass balls about the size of a golf ball, and melt them in a giant oven and blow string sized threads of glass into a big 16 foot wide mat, which would then be cut into whichever insulation was being made. Every six months, we had to do what's called an oven cleanout. Where we had to get inside the ovens and scrape off the layer of baked insulation from the sides of the oven walls and ducts with a little pneumatic hand chisel. They couldn't completely shut down the entire oven, so it was still very hot. We had to get bundled up in what was basically a hazmat suit, and duct tape around our hands and feet, and wear a respirator and crawl inside this thing and chisel the walls. The worst was cleaning out the ducts that ran to the filtration units, because the ducts were about the dimensions of a coffin, and they'd shove you in and you'd be working with your arms out in front of you and you couldn't turn around. And they'd occasionally pull you out and make sure you were ok, and shove you back in by your feet. It was easily the most physically demanding thing I've ever done. They only let us stay inside for 15 minutes at a time, and you got out and stripped down and you were just drenched in sweat. They'd make you drink a specific amount of water before you could work again. It was hell.

Working in the heat is one thing. Trying to sleep in it - that's a different animal.

When I was stationed at Great Lakes, the staff barracks I lived in didn't have air conditioning. The rooms had one window, and there was no way to get any air flow. It was miserably hot during the summer of '88, and at night, the temperature in that room would be in the 90s. I had a fan on either side of my bed, but like George said earlier it just seemed to make the hot air hotter. It was horrible. And I was young and thin then, too. The shit would kill me now.

A couple of nights it was so bad that I slept in the backseat of my car in the parking lot with the A/C running.

As for today, it is absolutely vile outside. Just went out to check the mail, which will pretty much be the extent of my outdoor activity today. **** I hate summer. 4321

Yeah, this drought out here is the worst. I've been here since 1998. It's ****ing horrible!

Praying you get some rain Buehler.

It’s 95 degrees here. Heat index of 108. I’m sweating like a whore in church.

Yikes sounds awful. The smell in those glass plants linger also plus at Owens Corning everything had the reddish die on it with glass strands stuck to it. You itched like hell till you got home and got a shower. Noise level was intolerable to. It screams where it shoots out those glass strands along with the constant cutter punch.

In central IN (INDY) it's just now getting warm. 93 degrees Saturday and Sunday

Lots of rain this month but about 1/2 in May.
Grass is green, garden is coming on.

:eek:
