Evening all.. Well i am hoping that acclimation wont be too rough then! LOL! I do alright in the heat, just have to drink lots of water!
Much nicer day today.. I think it was actually cooler! I spent all day outside messing the 4-wheel drive swap, and didnt suffer as bad as I did yesterday! Hope it sticks around for just a few more days!
Thank you guys for the heads up on that BTW!

Good Evening Arizona.
Bart your younger than I'm, but I know when I lived in Bullhead I had to install a power steering hose on our truck & I bought it the day before & got up just as it got light to put it on & it was still too hot to work in my opinion. You do get use to it after some time. I always felt that 60 degrees was good outside working temp.

I have seen 0ver 250 degrees in the cab of my truck with the windows down a couple inches.
we had to keep a 3 ton air conditioner on the helicopter to keep the circuit breakers from popping and the interior from melting.
you could talk about a $600 to $1,000 electric bill and it didn't faze anyone!

Good Evening Arizona.
Nice day in the high 60s with a breeze. A storm is suppose to be coming through Sunday through Tuesday. We will just have to see. I worked on the trailer today. Installed some carpet, started working on the slide out floor. It has a bow in it. I'm installing oak beams under the dinette benches. This was the suggestion of one of the RV techs on the Towing Board.
