OK gentlemen (and ladies), it's officially HOT.
My bad knee has become inflamed over the course of the day. That's the signal.

I think I'll wait 'til 20:30 and go run a few miles instead.

I had no idea that heat, of all things, made the waves bigger/better?

I'm in the club (almost) and I'm in the house. Our Willis H. Carrier unit is on the fritz! Ach, Scheisse!
And yes, I'll refer to it as the Willis Carrier unit. His childhood home was next to my high school in New York. The father of modern air conditioning was from Buffalo of all places. They really don't appreciate him there for some reason.

If it's over 100° who cares if the waves are good? It just feels good to get in the water. What's bad (for lifeguards) is when there's a 6' or bigger swell when it's over 100° inland. Sooooo many people in the water who have no clue how powerful even the smallest waves and currents can be...I had no idea that heat, of all things, made the waves bigger/better?

Ah, so it's all about cooling off in the water. I see. Your idea of cooling off is surfing.
Now I know why we have so many Great White sharks patrolling our coastline. Smart lil' buggers.

Welcome to my world. Steel fabrication/welding shops out in the IE..,,nothing more than gigantic metal sheds with zero insulation and no ventilation. 100* is usually the starting point.

Kinda like that. Four locomotive engines (two Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston engines and two 8-645 EMD's) plus two boilers. It's a lot like working UNDER the hood of a semi truck going down the freeway. The engines are fully exposed, there is no wall, or any form of insulation. I'll dig up a photo later.

It hit 114° in the IE earlier this summer. Only 108° yesterday. I'll take it.

The clouds came in right in time for my commute. Air temp dropped about 5* right before I left. Let's see what today brings...

I feel like such a sissy now. It's only 125 in my cab and 150+ in the back. That's on a 100+ degree day of course.

I don't work very hard anymore (I hope?), so I'm not complaining. My job is much easier than cleaning pools, doing deliveries, or metal fab.
I just like to remember the Sh!t I used to do so I continue to appreciate what I have now.

Meanwhile, at my work...
I try to tell them there is nothing wrong with the equipment, the equipment isn't designed for this weather. What do they do? Spend about $100,000 to buy replacement equipment, with a LOWER temp limit. Why would they take the advice of a refrigeration expert (me)?
