OH MAN IT'S HOT!!

[Monocrom]

110°F a short time ago. The AC isn't keeping up, either. I guess 5000 BTU to cool a 100 square foot room is inadequate at these kinds of temperatures.

I was in my car, running an errand. My car's outside temp. reading was 109 degrees F.

Damn local news said only 100. The temp. feature on my car has never been that high in the over 2 years I've owned her. 109 !!!

Helluva thing when you're driving around, look down at the miles you've put on the car, then just off to the side you see the temp. reading! Hmm . . . I know my sports sedan is capable of 109mph. Oh crap, that's the temp. reading!! :sweat:

(Most appropriate use of a smiley ever!)

BTW, I'm glad I didn't listen to my dad when he told me just to get one A/C unit for my one-bedroom apartment. He can be a bit of a cheapskate at times. I realize that certain things in Life are worth paying for. Such as A/C units in both the Living room and bedroom. It's a nice 65 degrees F in my bedroom right now. And no shame in admitting I'm shirtless.

Well I'm shirtless and pant less and I have the AC and fans running! It's friggin' hot today! AC is running at max and it's still not cold enough

It's been 95 here for a few days. It's in the low-mid 80s right now because a massive thunderstorm is a-brewin'.

You should get another a/c unit; get a couple and compare them, start a forum, become the first coolaholic..

Damn! Have you got central air? There are definite advantages to having window units. Got a large one in the living room. But the one in the bedroom where I spend much of my time is a notch above a basic unit. It's G.E.'s lowest priced unit with a remote control. (A very basic remote.) The A/C makes quite a bit of racket. And I like it that way. Not paying a ton of extra money for a whisper-quiet model. The racket mine makes cancels out the noise my upstairs neighbor makes. He's usually a good guy. But his friends are obnoxious jerks, and every now & then he gets drunk and acts like his friends do.

I paid $200 for my bedroom unit a few years ago. There have been times in the past where I'll shut my bedroom door and just relax there. If you have a window unit, that's a great option.

Unless you're female, then pics or it didn't happen.

I have a thing or two to say about fans so if anyone starts a coolaholic forum, I'm there. And if anyone makes a 9-12 inch high velocity fan that you could aim downwards a decent amount and that you're "allowed" by the instructions to open and clean, SOLD! And if the controls are on the bottom, I'll take two. And if it's steel rather than plastic, I'll marry you.

Caleb can be a girl's name too, but wouldn't showing naked pictures against the rules?

Umm, yes. StarHalo is our resident image repository and Photoshop wizard here. He has like a 6 TB drive full of pics of every object known to man, at the ready. He also really likes girls... :naughty: At any rate, he was joking, you can't put up stuff like that here even if you wanted to.

It's midnight here and still 78 and sticky out. Grrrrrrrrr.

While it is mid-late July, and I expect it to be hot and humid, this is getting beyond ridiculous. Usually in heat like this, there is the usual ensuing drought. Unfortunately, we've had sufficient rainfall in Central Kentucky this summer so that my grass needs mowing every six days, which means I get to go sweat like a mad man.

I'll take 30 degrees over 90 anytime. Plus, that's better camping weather!

Makes me wonder how folks survived in heat like this, pre-AC?

almost 1am and in the high 80s here still, luckily we have a 3 ton AC central air unit.

Aw man! I was just about to upload some naked pictures....oh well

About that: when I was responding to the thread, I was trawling around air conditioning sites just for shiggles when I came across the image below; if we were coolaholics, we would know what this means:

:shrug: Ya got me?

I have no idea what she's doing there.

 

[Lynx_Arc]

It means her AC is broken

Was it really necessary to be driving 66MPH while taking this picture?

 

[Morelite]

For your information the driver didn't take the pic.

His engine is asleep at 1400 rpm at freeway speeds, so his fuel savings makes up for any danger incurred by driver photography.

Also, I took this picture a few days ago while driving somewhere well over 66mph in Utah; it's technically on topic since it's a summer pop-up storm created by intense desert heat:
