How's everyone beating the heat?
Me, I've gotten stuck grilling the past few days...AC was out in the house so we didn't want anymore heat induced than what we had already.
Hey Chet...notice I said "grilling" and not BBQ'ing

I wish I had time to BeerBQ this weekend, but tomorrow is day 8 of work... outside... in the heat. 
Still need to make time to do my body swap, but once I get in the house with a cold brew, it's a little difficult to get moving back out again...

By going to Clear Lake to work to disassemble a cab while trying not to scream like a little school girl when I am wrenching under the truck and a spider drops on me.
Side note- I went to SF on Thursday. It was 96 degrees at Ocean Beach... ugh!

Hey Taylor, I fell ya...
Summer/heat is bad beer drinking times...I like the winter when it's cold...just leave the 6 pack on the shop floor and grab as needed
Never have to head back into the house

Haha, amen to that. Cold beer in the hot sun is great, but working outside and running to the fridge all too often gets old.
Karl - I feel for you with the cab swap. I was pulling body mount bolts a couple of hours ago...

I'm not beating it...it's beating me! Only a couple days around the 100º mark and I feel like I'm gonna die...I hate it! Supposed to be cooler this week though, I sure hope so. Not looking forward to the summer if it's this bad already.

Mind if I ask about the inside joke? I have a friend that makes fun of me because when I have a cook out I call it a gettogether or a cook out and she calls it a BBQ. I just find it funny what people from differnt parts of the country call the same thing.
I am planning on heading up to Bridgeport to go swimming this weekend. Anyone wanna join us? It's prob going to be just me my wife and our dog. Maybe have a little cook out or something.

BBQ is low and slow cooking. Temp about 225 degrees. Ribs take 5-7 hours to cook. Pulled pork takes 17-20 hours. A whole pig can take 24+ hours.
Grilling is high temp cooking. Great for steaks, brats, and burgers.
Just trying to help keep it straight.

Beatin' the heat? Well, last week I was in Carlsbad (close to San Diego). My hotel looked out onto the beach. Temps were about 75-86˚. I returned home on Saturday and have been hiding in my air conditioned house, truck, and office. Darn! It got hot all of the sudden.

I was down in your neck of the woods yesterday, Ben. Sunny and hot up in San Rafael, but I hit a fog bank at about Larkspur. Met a guy I was selling Rover parts to at the north end of the bridge, and it was downright chilly out! Then I had to turn around and drive back into the heat...yuck!
