There are some of us not blessed with active sweat glands. No, it's not a blessing. I do the damp towel around the neck thing.
Thanks for the heads up JEFFFAFA. It sounds like some tears might keep some shirtd wet too

My shop is 30' x 30' with a 12' ceiling but, there's no insulation in it and I don't have A/C in there. From about July to September, projects in my shop taper off to pretty much nothing.
I pulled my truck in there, after I got home from work this evening. I have a thermometer mounted inside on the wall between the two overhead doors. As I got out of the truck to go in the house, I glanced over at the thermometer to see that it was sitting on 106°.
Being in there this time of year is like standing inside a clothes dryer --only without the tumbling effect.
Some photos that show at least a partial view of the shop I have to work in. Nothing fancy but, I'm grateful I have somewhere to work on my vehicles and to keep my tools and project vehicles out of the weather.

Home depot is marketing a variation of the a/c in a bucket. Basically a fan drawing air across water. Kind of like an evaporative cooler, except the fan is pushing air through water-soaked material.
Might actually, have to rethink their offering and check it out when I go home today. Of course, idiot here road his harley to work so I will get the full affect of 104 degrees at 35-55 MPH - can you say blast furnace.

I have 2 words for ya Buddy.
Convection oven
<table class="metadata plainlinks ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image">
</td><td class="mbox-text"></td></tr></tbody></table>
A convection oven (also known as a fan-assisted oven or simply a fan oven) is an oven that has fans to circulate air around food.[1] Conventional ovens, which do not have fans, rely primarily on radiation from the oven walls, and to a lesser extent, on natural convection caused by temperature differences within the oven, to transfer heat to food. In contrast, the fans in convection ovens allow more heat to be transferred via convective heat transfer.[2]
Fans help distribute heat evenly around the food, removing the blanket of cool air that surrounds food in an oven, allowing food to cook more evenly in less time and at a lower temperature than in a conventional oven.[3]

It's no too bad when your moving. I live in the D/FW metro mess, so when traffic is stopped, it's more like like a broiler on my Wide Glide.

ME!!!!!! Oh heck no. Absolutely NOT. I may joke or rib somebody to give everyone a chuckle, but I wish No Harm nor Foul on anybody. Least of all for the good people of the Bumpside Kingdom. I long for a Harley Bike (have the truck). Since I do not ride I am ignorant to how hot it is standing still. I meant I hope the convection stops before he gets too overloaded hot.
