Me and the family are in Disney this week. I thought it got hot at home but it is nothing compared to down here. This heat is blazing! You guys are hard core working on your trucks in this heat.

Well, off to the golf course. Hope I don't pass out from the combo of heat and beer

Theres nothing like working on your truck in 100 degree heat with 100 percent humidity or sitting in the heat all day at a car show. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids.....lots of beer. Lol

Texas heat is a dry heat, easy sauce.

Florida is just a Sonna. It's miserable.

It may only be 100 degrees but with 100 degree humidity it can feel like 115-120.

working in dry heat, is better than working in wet heat, its miserable, its takes everything out of you, and at the end of the day, you dont wanna do anything else, but take a cold shower, and lay down.

Ive worked in 95* heat with 5% humidity up in a loft hanging drywall, and it was fine, i couldve done it in a pair of jeans, and been fine all day, now you put that same 95* heat with 100% humidity, youre looking at a heat index upwards of 120*. It amuses me when people out west complain of 105* heat with 0% humidity, which feels like 105*, those same people come down to fl to 95* heat with 100% humidity with a heat index of 105*+, thinkin oh thats nothing, then they get here and step outside, and are like holy shit, i dont wanna do shit, but sit inside.

(no pun intended)

I hear you, I run my own lawn service, and it gets bad. I'm immune to the heat, but sometimes it gets hard to breathe, you can almost cut the air with a knife.

i feel you guys. working the rigs in colorado was a breeze compared to oklahoma. dont you love the feeling when you get out of the shower dry off and you are immediately wet from the sweat again. i will take 100* of dry weather to the 80* w/80% humidity any day

**Silverbullet08** · 06-21-2011, 02:42 PM
