HOrnbrod Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Today's stats: Temperature: 103.0 F Relative Humidity: 75% Heat index: 115.6 F No rain. Been like this since June. The cotton and corn is burned up and useless. My lake is down 4' and the fish are so deep you can't catch them, or even launch the boat. And it's to hot to fish anyhow. BUT, the MJ has not come close to overheating at all w. the A/C constantly running full blast and I've been running all around the state hauling furniture moving the girls to different apartments at college. The electric fans / cowl hood are doing their job. Gotta look at the bright side. :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Its been 80-90 up here with 80-90 humidity... Like working in sweat stew. I knew we were going to pay for that incredible summer last year. Just think of it this way Don, the hotter it is, the better the High life tastes coming out of the fridge.

87Warrior Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I usually consider myself one of the lucky people who get to work outside. However it has been about 105 with 116 index. Having moved myself several times in the heat of summer, I feel your pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Gotta bleed for the farmers though this year........... It has been hell for my father this year. My family is only a small operation (maybe about 100 out of 300 acres of crops that NEED to be watered, the rest are cover crops), but it has my Dad stretched pretty thin. In addition to all of the normal farm duties he has to do from 6am to 8pm, he also has to set up the irrigation rig twice during the night and refill the fuel tanks on the pumps. I think he goes to bed around midnight, wakes up at 3am to refill the tanks, and then is back to bed for a couple of hours only to wake again at 6am to start the day. We also just celebrated his 60th birthday this week...I'm amazed he is able to still keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFreeze5 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 It was cool and in the 70s here yesterday. Didnt turn the AC on at all, just opened all the doors and windows and let the breeze take care of the rest. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
