jaydar Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 How I'm coping with heat??? Well, I switched it back on!
jaydar Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Looks the British GP will be run in the wet. Good for Hamilton and Alonso! Joe.
Mercman Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I know many of you are in the grips of a nasty heat wave across the country with temps in the triple digits. We have it here also in N. Dak but not like some of you guys. So just thought I'd remind everyone to take it easy out there, and stay hydrated. Drink lots of water, and take a break when you need it. Heat stress is no fun. I know from experience.
Austin T Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Oh that's great.Reminds me of a pic of a church sign that says "Thou shalt not steal thine copper wire out of thine AC"
Big Daddy Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Well it's 108 here friday, and in the plant at work the thermometer hit 48 celcius which is app 130 F sure am glad i don't work in the plant but i do feel sorry for the few that do
Dr. Cranky Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Not a good sign after a heapin' plateful o' bbq ribs, collard greens, and egg custard pie.
crazyjim Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Marcia told me it's 90 with a heat index of 103. Not bad for Florida in July. If/when I need to paint, I just turn on the AC in the shop.
forthlin Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) This is in the shade on my front porch. Yesterday we hit 102F. We haven't had any measurable amounts of rain at all this summer. Grass is dead, leaves are dying on the trees & the farmers crops are dying. Edited July 7, 2012 by forthlin
Chief Joseph Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 About 2 hours ago (1pm), we had 100 in the shade, 103 in the sun, and 135 inside a car parked in the sun. Yes, I took a thermometer outside Funny thing is that it feels cooler today than it did last weekend. The heat has really put the brakes on my modeling projects!
Sixx Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Geez...I feel bad, I hide out in my attached garage...I've got a window unit set on 70, couple of fans blowing, chillin out. Sometimes my dogs want to go out and sit in the sun!! I could hang meat in my house!!!! Course NIPSCO ( electric co. ) loves me!!! LOL!!
LoneWolf15 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Yo ! D Just out of curiosity , do resin zombies cure quicker in the heat ? If so , get to pourin' , Boyo ! Lol !
tabsscale1 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Todd! You ever slip down to Brookville for the fried chicken (is it even still there)? How 'bout the Cozy? Is it still running? Haven't been to Cozy for a couple years. Brookville motel and chicken is in Abilene now.
Danno Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 No kidding? See what happens when you miss a few annual trips over a few decades? You lose touch. My family once had a farm near Bennington ... next to the Eisenhowers (brother of the pres) farm. All my Kansas family members are gone many years now and we haven't made the trek in probably 20 years ... A visit to Salina always required one of each ... my parents met at Cozy and Sundays were always Brookville's Chicken dinners ... Thanks for the info. Was just curious.
Dr. Cranky Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 LOL, all that happens with Zombies in the heat is they reek worse. You gotta hunt them down, or hose them down with lots of fire power!
Sixx Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Yo ! D Just out of curiosity , do resin zombies cure quicker in the heat ? If so , get to pourin' , Boyo ! Lol ! No man, they start stinkin worse!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sixx Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 It's the clean-up that really churns the stomach!!!!!!! mmmmm....pus
Shardik Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Yesterday it finally cooled down enough to consider some outdoor activity, so I decided to take a walk into town. The reason for the cooler temperature soon became apparent and I spent three hours stuck in a coffe shop waiting for the torential downpour to abbate. Then the sun came back out and I got to walk the three miles back home though the steaming mud. I drove to the coffe shop this morning.
Agent G Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 105 here right now, heading to 107-109. It'll be 110 + during the work week. Naturally, activities this week require a suit and tie................................. G
Shardik Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Danno, I'm on the outskirts of Arvada, in the foothills of the Front Range. We started the month here in the high nineties, which at least is better than the triple digits we had the week before. Of course, I can't really complain about that, since I was in San Diego at the time, where it never got above 78. Edited July 9, 2012 by Shardik
