What happened? did you rupture and ovary? when it gets hot do your fallopian tubes fall out and you step all over them or what?


Suck it up, wipe the sweat out of your eyes and get back to work! (A frosty beverage helps a bit in these situations)


All joking aside, I feel your pain. I have to work outside most of the time. You have to be careful where you set your tools as they heat up fast and you can't pick them back up. And the fender burns my fat belly when I lean over it....ugh

What you need is a port a cool fan. I have 2 and they are always on. They really help.

Misery loves company

I'm glad it isn't just me!...


I was sitting in my shop at 95 degrees with 88% humidity last week (sweaty ovaries and all, Bobby!), and it occurred to me that I needed to do something.


What's really stupid is I have a central heat and air unit with all the ductwork sitting in the corner just waiting to be hooked up!


It didn't seem that important in April, so I kept putting it off.


Well, I called my a/c guy and will hopefully have a cool shop this week! It's only money, right?


I hope you find some relief, eman...These trucks aren't going to build themselves!

We're definitely entering the dog days here in Texas. I've been putting off a major cleaning of the garage but I'll hav to get to it this weekend. The ground all around is cracked and dry and even when the sun goes down it still in the 90s.

I hear ya Earnie, The unusually higher than normal temps are messing up my paint plans. I'm waiting for a few days in the mid 80s to 90s B4 I finish, just picked up a new quart of 85* reducer. That's my plan and I'm stickin to it, maybe LOL .Stay cool all you "Cool Kats" out there, and just keep rockin on.
