    It's 105° outside, was thinking off working on my ol truck, but can't do anything without making myself sick.

    How does every one deal with this heat.

    This is weird, for a change Florida is cooler than most places in the US. :confused: Hurricane Debby brought us some much appreciated cool weather, but you guys are really getting it bad.

    Ya, it was that at 8AM... right now it's pretty close to the forecast high today of 114.
    So? If it makes you feel any better, it will be that for the next 3 months or so. i just go out and work in the early morning and come in about 1PM.

    I'd say you guys need an ocean and a nice bay close by. I don't think we had one day over 95 here where I live last year.

    Drink water and lots of it and you don't get sick. Been working in it all my life.

    I don't know what it is in Dallas here, but once it goes over 90 I just label it as "too hot".

    I have 3 box fans around me in the garage.

    Trust me, if I could afford bigger I would have it.

    It might be normal everywhere else but we don't usually see this kind off heat around here, and I'm not used to it.

    My buddy uses a squirrel cage fan from an old furnace. It puts out a ton of air.

    Currently 96 at 5:00 in the afternoon here in the CSRA of GA. Next three days projection for temps to top at 104 to 106. No A/C at the shop. Going to cool off next week, only going to be in the mid 90's.
    Could be worse, look at the Colorado fires, God help those folks.

    I'll take the heat, over the cold, any day.. ;) I'm one of the few that go home everyday with the windows down, and don't turn on the A/C unless I'm stopped in traffic, and my arm starts to burn.
     

  30. I work on my driveway most of the time. no shade etc. You just learn to live with it and you have to learn how to tell when you are too hot.
