Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Man it is hot in Texas. How hot is it? It is hotter than six fat women in a minivan, with no air conditioner, fighting over the last chicken nugget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Wow... that is descriptive and thorough... Reminds me of a very hot summer day in Boston, riding the "T" when my face was jammed into the armpit of a very obese and sweaty moose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I had a private note from OLG, who lived in Death Valley before he retired and moved to Missouri, mentioning how bad the heat and humidity is here. So I guess if you need relief from the heat, you could go to Death Valley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I really don't know how you Pards can handle that kind of heat. Up here, I had an issue with 86 or so and nearly passed out at a match. In winter, at least I can bundle up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Been relatively decent here in Montana this Summer and we're already sliding down into the low 90° range moving toward Fall. We have a range from -45° to 108° that I have experienced living here. Adapt and overcome! Dress Light weight light colored and always wear a hat in the hot weather. Don't have to tell a Canadian about Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The humidity in Indiana was oppressive. Working outside was miserable in the summer. I had to get checkered grips for my Vaqueros because the factory grips were hard to keep in control due to all the sweat. I hate being hot. My wife hates being cold. We compromised and moved back to Prescott, AZ. Since we are at a mile high with almost no haze, the sun is brutal. Get in the shade and it's fine.

Up here, I had an issue with 86 or so and nearly passed out at a match. In winter, at least I can bundle up. It’s all in what you’re used to. Truthfully, I would rather have it colder than hotter. We partially moved into our house in West Virginia on August 2nd. It was in the mid to upper 80’s and very humid. I was questioning my own sanity last Friday when I was mowing the lawn. It was 89 and humid. My clothes were drenched in sweat and I could feel my pulse beating heavy in my neck. For just a moment I thought “Boy, I sure miss the weather in west Garden Grove” and then it hit me…”this weather is just fine. Take a drink of ice cold water and suck it up, buttercup. I am not in California any more and that’s just fine with me!” I had forgotten all about humidity. You just have to pace yourself and drink cold water and maybe a salt tablet once in a while.

In June, July, and so far in August, we had two small rain showers that lasted about ten minutes, each. Most of the days in June, July, and thus far in August are at, or over, 100-degree Fahrenheit (37.778 degrees Celsius), or right at it. I suppose the heat just sort of tempers us, like metal. It is what it is. Most of us natives would not live anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Grew up in central MO. Single wide trailer with no AC. By the 70s our pickup had AC but we didn't use it except on special occasions. Tractors didn't have cabs. Combine did but the AC on it could only keep the cab temp in the low 90s. Didn't have AC in school till high school. When you grow up in it you get used to it. For the last 30 years I have worked in air conditioned spaces that were usually cooled down to the mid 60s to keep the equipment happy. Wear a coat at work most days. This has resulted in me loosing my ability to tolerate high temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
