You think it's hot where you live?

a/c is your friend....

but we can do that in our attics, easy....about 140f+

I bet the roofs over there are mostly all white, correct??

:smash:

Yea, but you aren't walking around in your attic all day. You would really need some great insulation for ac to work....hell, the ac would have to drop the temp 47 degrees just to get the temp down to 80!

It'll make you REALLY careful about where you lay that wrench down too. Not too bad when you lay it down, but you look at where the sun is and where it'll be in the next few minutes.
 
We have been lucky to hit a high of 65 degrees here this summer. The locals say it is the coolest summer in at least 40 years. :amazed:
 
Hehe, I had to ground run an aircraft last night as the aircrew had complained of "fog" in the cockpit.

It was 70% humidity yesterday and the aircraft water extraction system was knackered and at 80% throttle, there was indeed fog in the cockpit! Lovely and cold with a London pea-souper...

The roofs out here are just cement Gene, not painted or anything. You're right Tim, it pays to get into the habit of touching something briefly before wrapping your fingers around it - the same way you'd check if a pitot probe was hot before putting a cover on :lol:

You just have to suck it up, drink lots of water and get on with it. You do get acclimatized to a point but it's still bloody hard on some days.

You can imagine how much fun it is trying to work on a car in just a car port :lol:

I'd take that over the cold any day.
If it drops below 50 around here, you really don't want to get out of bed.

Got THAT right, the humidity is gross, but I don't care about the high temps, just can't take the cold eff THAT.....

surprised the roofs aren't painted white, concrete or not over there....

would drop the inside temps a good bit....

been doing some observations, so back to my thread on that.....:quote:
 
Yep. I've had enough. As soon as circumstances permit, I'm leaving this hell hole. I've been cold and I've been hot and the one conclusion I've come to is it is a lot easier to get warm than cool down.

Depends on your health man....arthritis is sad/bad news for living in anything snowy or even thinking of the possibility....

I should have maybe went to the SW.....instead of Florida...visited there some years ago, strange territory at ~7400' elevation on the high plains...
