Too hot!

[Retired Bum]

Anything above 80 is too hot

I live in the desert for a reason

Well, it's all OK as long as it's a 'DRY' heat. Who the hell first said that ... and why?

I don't know when, but I think I may shed some light on the why.

Humidity increases the feels like temperature, thus making it feel hotter. Dry heat feels easier to deal with. However,

When you get a temperature above 110⁰, IT DON'T MATTER!

@Talyn has been posting snow pics this week on the Hwys of Idaho/MT border

I can still see snow on the ground here.
Mostly above 8000' feet in the Sierra's.

Could years back, it never completely melted ... But they had over 700" of snow that year

Well me and a friend had a range day planned for Wednesday but with the heat index in the triple digits we called it off. Humidity here in the south makes it feel like you put on a body suit when you go outside. He has a new Canik he just picked up today he is wanting to try out plus I’m wanting to try the Apex trigger I installed in my HellCat. I worked outside in the heat and cold for years but it kicks my tail now. Went and fed the rabbits at 6 and gave them fresh water and made sure the fans were running to help keep them cool. Checked on the chickens so I might have been outside 30 minutes. Sweat was pouring off of me and my shirt was soaked and I got dizzy. Hopefully it will cool down some next week.

Stay hydrated my friend. Gatorade is your friend when you are sweating a lot. Doc friend of mine claims “all people over 60 are dehydrated because we don’t drink enough”. He temps and prodigious sweating only exacerbate the problem.
