You know it's hot when.....

Egggzactly!

^^i want pics

we can only hope

It's hot when: the gallon of milk you just bought goes bad before you reach the car, or the gallon of ice cream you just bought melts before you reach the car, or your car has been parked for 3 hours after your trip to the store, but the temp guage still reads 185 degrees.

...your AC gives up and commits suicide by 11:20 am.

Having lived in VA, nothing in NY can make me complain. My Father being back from 4 years in Iraq, won't tolerate any complaints.

lol SO happy I left TX! I remember last summer I parked my motorcycle, came back 6 hours later and the sidestand was an inch into the asphalt! WTF?!?!

99 today, 101 tomorrow, 100 on Saturday. I don't remember 100 degree days in Columbus, and we've had four so far this year. Wow.

Its over 100 degrees for a week and a half straight.

We tried it yesterday. It was 102* or so, and put the egg on the blacktop road in full sun. It never cooked. It did dry out and get hard within an hour or two though.

Here too, but we pretty much get the exact same weather as you, but a few hours later. I'm 150 miles or so east of St. Louis. I think we've set record highs for the last 7 days, or something like that.

In reply to 16vCorey:

We get the high humidity too. Index is killer. Drink a lot if water. I am.

This is a good indication of hot....

I think i drank 3 gallons of water yesterday and was STILL dehydrated.

Horsing around a motor and trying to track down the most annoying rattle under the MSM FTL.

Yep, we're in the ohio river valley, so we get the armpit-like humidity as well. Awful stuff.

You know it's hot when you start to regret having removed the A/C condenser to make room for a bigger front-mount intercooler.

I felt bad for our dog, so I was freezing Cool-Whip containers full of water to make giant ice cubes for his water dish. It worked, he had cool drinking water til I got home in the evening.

As for it being hot,you know it is bad when you are gauging your underwear choice based on sweat absorption ability and perceived insulation factor. Those cotton boxers the wife gave you for Christmas may feel great in January, but the aforementioned "swamp ass" is a killer half way through mowing the yard.

I have been having flashbacks of being in Louisiana, Ohio is not supposed to be like this.

Swingin' free and loose in swim trunks is the fix for that.

....you have been too hot to remember to buy the parts needed to fix said AC that exploded.

The highway was on fire. OK, so it looked like the trucks transmission fluid was on fire. Either way, the highway was on fire and it ignited the grass which was dry due to the drought. What confused me the most was the fact that a guy with one leg was driving a bucket truck.

Hah. I want to get food, but I don't want to get dressed.

Spandex shorts as underwear. I started doing it when I was wrenching, it's great.

Under Armor for the win. Solves the swamp ass every time.

My wife keeps citronella candles on the back porch, they melted.

I've been prepping parts for fiberglass molding which involves about 10 coats of carnuba wax on each part. I've had to store the carnuba in the shop fridge when not using it or its liquid.

It's hot...damn hot.
