Saturday afternoon I was in my dad's shop sorting the stuff to keep from the stuff to toss. We had fans going, but in the afternoon it was like sitting in front of a dadgum hair dryer.
I installed an Air Conditioner in my shop finally after 10 or so years of dying in there during the summers to work on stuff. Wife complained its gonna raise the electric bill. I don't give a shat. I'm reloading, tying flies. and general tinkering in the shop in comfort now with two ceiling fans on high to distribute the cool air. Fawk the cost. She wouldn't live in that discomfort, why should I?
The wife prefers to sleep in a cool room and is generally unhappy when the weather gets warm like it is now. When in the hotels, she sleeps on top of the bed covers and covers up with a very light blanket. By contrast, I want under all the covers.
She can't understand that I can handle the heat (100's-plus) the last few weeks) and not be so uncomfortable.
That said, I learned something yesterday...
...don't fill up you vehicle using the pump that faces the sun and is not shaded. Putting in the zip code for the credit card authorization let me find out that the buttons (metal, no doubt) were scalding hot.

Use mine in the summer quite a bit like this. I'll turn it down to its lowest temperture setting. Works just fine to cool off on a hot day.

Was out at Oh Seven Hundred AM O'clock Hours to run the trimmer after mowing yesterday morning. Got done around 9am and came inside. 80°/80% humidity. No wonder I was soaked...
8000’ seems to be about the right altitude to stay in the 70’s and low 80’s.
