Definition of Dry Heat

[Jaylotw]

I'm outside most of the day before work, full sun is heavenly. My 7/12 is 3PM-3:30AM, all alone on my shift.

Yeah I can see you wanting some sunshine working those hours. Me though? I'm in it as soon as it comes up, until it goes down...and the sun can go to hell. Or at least behind a cloud.

I have no idea how you, or anyone else for that matter actually survives.

Pools, AC, chicks wearing tube tops and short shorts everywhere.

I love the heat. Biking, running, swimming... gardening, I stay outside most of the day. I almost always have something outside that I am building or planting. You get used to it. It's the people who keep the AC at 75F and stay inside all day that suffer the most. Plus, we are only 4 hours to the best beaches in the world. But, really it's the way the girls dress that makes it all much easier to bare.

AC at 75? You poor souls. I'm at 68.

And yeah, girls r nice, I'm with you there. It's especially nice when they shed their winter parkas for the first time in months.

Our AC stays on 82 all summer.

But, if this isn’t the person in front of you at the check out line at the grocery store, I feel sorry for you.

Yeah, I never get that lucky

Kaizening was invented by Mazda or Toyota or some similar outfit and it’s only to streamline the manufacturing processes; the end user is not a consideration based on what I’ve read about it. Embers can correct me if I’m wrong (as always haha)

TPM. Total Productive Maintenance.

LOS. Load of shit.

Luckily I can only manage 3 hours of sleep per day and am often outside for several hours prior to work. For me, any temperature below 80°F is painful.

I don't remember humidity that low, ever. Korea is surrounded by ocean on three side. Always humid. NYC is by the ocean, always humid. Now in NC. Humid as hell. I think Hell is actually dry heat. Just Southern embrace by the mother nature. Sweaty kind.

 

[Chasing Embers]

As low as I'll allow it.

Dry Heat? No problem. In New Jersey it’s a Dry Rain-100 percent humidity and it’s just miserable. We sweat in the shower here.

But, as related before… the entire State is a humidor. Tobacco becomes moist if left open.

That's why I escaped Jersey 33 years ago and never looked back. The arid Colorado air suits me just fine. When the humidity climbs to about 40% here people start to complain.

I can always throw another layer on, too.

Yup.

I lived in a place that got down to -40 F actual on occasion, and routinely to -25 with significant wind.

(It wasn't unusual to see a moose in your back yard, either, but that's a whole 'nother thing)

The prevailing attitude? "There is no such thing as bad weather, only improper clothing."

A thread about the weather getting all sorts of replies! Codger level: awesome.

By that logic, all sorts of women should be walking around naked. Haven't gotten there yet.

A lot closer than I wish was the case, however:

 

[autumnfog]

There was some days a couple of years ago.
30° Celsius, or 86° Fahrenheit.
About 100% humidity and no wind.

The nights were absolutely horrible.
Breathing was hard, everything soaking wet.
It became sort of claustrophobic.

crackheads are putting copper back into Hvac units around here

Now that I've worked up a good sweat this morning and finally get to sit down a moment, these guys insist on taking a cat nap on me. It won't last long as the temperature climbs, then they'll go seek shade outside. Yesterday my vehicle read 109 F on the way home Time to have a hydration formation

 

[Sobrbiker]

Day 17 of 110*+ (second longest run in greater Phoenix record).
Bike’s air temp gauge was solidly buried on my 35min ride home.

I have been just outside Charlotte the past few days and it’s brutal. It’s another level of hot and humid compared to NJ which while humid, doesn’t hit this type of boil.
