Yeh I hear you.It is 100 in my shop right now with a heat index of 108.So far I have drank 1 gal of cold water and more than 1/2 gal of Arizona Green tea w/ honey.I am dranched to my socks right now.No relief in sight for at least 2-3 months down here in South Florida. I had to go eat my lunch in my truck with the A/C cranked up for 30 min. Gotta go dyno a new 07 CBR600RR before I install a new Akro full titanium race pipe.Later,Wrench.:mad:

Could be worse...

About a month ago, I was racing ( full size short track stock cars ) at a 1/2 Mile ASA Santioned track. Air temperature was about 97*, sunny, no clouds, and the track is built on the valley of a hill, next to a forest.

There was no air movement at all. We ( myself and my pit crew ) went through 3 large coolers worth of water and gatorade bottles. I almost passed out after my race...

...and this was in the midwest! lol.

So is an oven!

We had a landfill spontaneously combust.
