Here in Vegas we're under a heat advisory. Supposed to be 108F or hotter the next four or five days. Right now I'm sweating out about five pounds per bowl lol. Pray for us in the desert.

Nothing to laugh about. Find a cool spot and stay safe. Drink plenty of fluids (your choice), it's pretty easy to dehydrate under those conditions.
I've been drinking about 48oz of plain water a lone a day. Also usually have about 24oz of Powerade too. Been in the desert for 13yrs, so I'm a bit of a veteran with heat.
It's basically the opposite of what you guys in other areas deal with in the winter.

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to find out why half of my house lose power. This is the side where the cooling is on. During the past few days of this heat wave the inside of the house has hit temps of over 100 degrees. While the outside temps have been 108° plus. It has been rough trying to stay cool. Thankfully the problem has been found and fixed. The house is starting to cool off bit it will take hours to do so. Here in the Southwest Deserts it can be a pain to be outside to smoke a bowl. With the heat in the bowl and the air temp being high trying to smoke cool and slow doesn't always happen.
Stay cool and dry

"Find some shade, a mister and lots of ice cubes!"
Or find some shade, a miss, and lots of ice cubes (assuming that she doesn't mind cold), your choice!

No matter how hot it is where you are there is always the guy who will tell you it is hotter where he is.
I'd tell you what the weathers like here, but it's the Midwest--it changes every time I look out the window.
At those temps I'd set down the pipe and locate the nearest cantina for some cheap Mexican food and some overpriced frozen margaritas. It is the southwest, afterall!

I like it better than cold. No matter how hot it gets, you don't have to shovel the stuff !
Lonestar, as a close neighbor, on the North side of the Red, I agree completely. But I do like the change of seasons. I just moved a big box fan on to the deck so it will not be intolerable smoking out there next week.
Lordofthepipering, my heart goes out to you guys in the desert right now, but you get a nice break come winter don't you? I have never been out there in the winter.

We're mid 90's here, still decent to sit out on the gazebo in the shade. But its even better inside with the AC cranked up :D
Do you have a pipe club in Vegas? Nothing here in Reno. I had aspirations to get one going, but little response.
