    I mostly try to stay inside with the AC on until later in the evening. I got a little done to the truck Monday night. I'm not so interested in those that have AC in their rides as much as I am in those that have AC in their shops. My garage is about twelve inches deeper than my truck is long. If I'm gonna work on the truck, I have to open the door and push the truck back a couple of feet to make room. No way to heat or cool the garage with the door open.

    I know how that feels... :(

    Best way to beat the heat is to wrap a wet towel (soaked in cold water) around your neck.. That's what I had to do to stay :cool: in those hot shops...

    Barely hit 60 here yesterday in Oregon. Been like this all spring. I heard in Tahoe there will be some skiing in July this year.

    Apparently Al Gore's carbon credits system is only working on the west coast. It will move east eventually and you will all be a lot cooler.

    You guys up north don't have to worry too much. It will cool off soon. Down here in TX it won't cool off till October.

    actually once we get into july and august here in the northeast it can frequently stay in the 90's. Our problem up here is the humidity. Its not the heat that bothers us; its the humidity that really kills you. Its forcasted to be 98 today and 105 tomorrow. It will feel even hotter with the nasty humidity. I will agree though; i'd much rather prefer to drive my ******* jeep around in the rays of the sun...then shovelling 3 feet of snow on multiple occasions like we did last winter.

    No AC in my DD, a 65 F100. I really need to get AC in the house. I work on a farm so I was out in the heat yesterday clearing a field. Not fun but not having money isn't very fun either.

    Just roll the windows down on your ride (if it has em) and drive the piss out of it. Like stated above its 110+ in Iraq. We got it good here, and no one is blowing our **** up with IED's.
