reached 119 yesterday at my house. thought my A/C unit would be running non stop but actually kept up well. see how it does the rest of the week.

heat didnt stop me from pulling my sand car engine, swapping parts around and installing a bigger engine into it though :D. my big swamp cooler works awesome for days like this, got up to 95* at the hottest in there...... its when the humid season comes i quit working outside lol

excuse the pink bike, brian leaves his bike here for when the cummins breaks down and he has to get back to work/home.

I like the humidity over a dry heat like that. 97* last week with 95% humidity. It sucks but the beach is just down the road and I don't get shut down for 6 months for snow.

i know people give me shit for saying "i like a dry heat". humidity gets up like that and i want to shoot my self. out in the garage working, sweating your ass off and just cant seem to get cool. fore head gets raw from wiping it on your sleeves, air is heavy and thick feeling, sweat dripping inside my welding helmet, i just hate it lol. right now i can run the swamp cooler and long as its blowing on or near me, i damn near dont sweat and the garage actually cools down to something decent inside. So then im left with about 2 months of misery and 10 months of fun :D. im about to pick up a boat here soon so that should make the other 2 months a little better :D

Humidity is rough. Air is heavy and breathing suffers. I like being near the water though.

come mid july/august, let me know how it feels compared to FL. ive wondered how our humid season compares :D

It's pretty similar to Florida in the summer. Even MA gets like that hot but it only last between 2 days to a week. Yesterday was 85 with some humidity which wasn't too bad that felt like 105 in AZ heat.

I just spent a week up in Mammoth Lakes and at Yosemite. It was 39 at night and averaged about 55-65 during the day. Come back to work in this. :eek: Who the hell the left the oven on and the door open. Its 112 out and I hate my dark blue plumbing truck. I have to have gloves on just to open the bins and climb into the roll top.

I don't know how you guys out west stay hydrated, I feel like i dry out from the inside out and can never drink enough water. Humidity sucks more though for sure.

Man I'm glad I will have my new Air conditioner installed before it gets hot here. for some reason it is only in the low 80's here and 40's in the morning when I leave for work.
