If it wasn't for air conditioned everything I don't think anything but the Bark Scorpion would call this place home...Quote:

Hit 107 here today I believe. I was outside most of the day...sweating.
Typical low 90s day out here and humid as hell
The clouds help hold the heat in like a blanket.Quote:

I think it was rated the worst show in Vegas...and to me, rightfully so :lmao:
We're staying at a suite in The Venetian and have a pool-side cabana rented for Saturday, so I plan on soaking up some sun, drinking quite a bit, and just forgetting about all those stressful things going on in life!
If you have any other suggestion, feel free to shoot me a PM. I've only been once before and I didn't get to see too much other than just walking through all the casinos, checking out a couple clubs, and Freemont street.

Umm, i'm just gonna say it without all the quoting, professional commercial roofer here. So, i apologize in advance, SUCK IT. You have no idea how hot it is. None. try sitting in the sun ALL DAY without the benfit of shade. I did 13 hours today. So, remember that when you start complaining. I apologized in advance. FYI.
quit bitching about your dry heat.
106 here today, muggy, and no wind.
Sounds like Pittsburgh..FTL..;(Quote:

I even have days where you get out of the shower, and you cant dry off, lol
What sort of sunscreen do you use?Quote:

Lightweight! I medicate with Sauza's finest...Quote:

I use to weed eat a cemetery in the summer during HS, things are a lot better now :D
I beg to differ - humidity plays a huge part in how miserable the heat is once they are combined!
Lifetime resident of Alabama,spent one summer in Arizona,I'll take Az heat over Al heat and humidity anytime .the day we went to Lake Havasu it was 114 degrees and that was better than 97 degrees and 95% humidity not to mention the wind rarely blows in Montgomery,Al.when I worked at the Ford dealership,we took the temp probe from the SBDS machine and measured the temp inside the shop,it said 112 degrees! Glad I work inside now!
I hear you there. My worst day was last summer. It was 114, we started at 2 am, and didn't get done til 7 that night. Not my longest day, but def my longest day in the heat. I dont put on hot tar anymore, but if i did, 500 degree tar and the heat would be a killer. Kinda ironic, I caome from MN, and my worst two days, it was -50 both days, we worked down to -30 no questions asked. It's just an extreme. Hot, cold, whatever. The biggest prob in my slice of the trade is the reflectivity that my new roofing has. The sunburn you can't cover up from is coming back up at you from the roof surface.Quote:
