So yesterday I decided to sand my face 4 frames and drill 384 holes
for shelf pins. Not wanting to get started too early I ate lunch
first and then spent from 12:00 to 4:00 pm in the heat doing that.
I quit for the afternoon and noticed the digital garage thermometer
said 100 degrees.

While lots of places here in SoCal are reporting temps approaching
103F,
we are just wimps at 99F and 20% RH.

It was an unseasonal 106 on that day.

Time to drink water and stay in the shade.

I was on both counts.





117 F in Phoenix...


Yeah but that is a,,,,,, ;~) different kind of heat. LOL
We were on vacation in Moab, middle of summer at 1:00pm. We were
walking around in the streets like we had good sense. I don't recall
the temperature but the local shop owners all complained about the heat
and asked how we were dealing with it. We said, at home we are not
quite this hot, probably 10 degrees cooler, but with 90% humidity.
When your sweat just clings to you and does not evaporate it is
miserable.

Yahbut, at 117 and 10% humidity, your face cracks and falls on the
sidewalk :-(


Shake and bake! ;~)
I know. My yard does fine when watered up to 101, 102. Past that, even
with rain the night before, and it starts to shrivel.
