Amateurs. I spent more summers than I care to recall working in steel mills. At the end of the day your clothes look like they were tie dyed. All the salt dries in white swirls. Nothing like a hot summer day while watching a river of molten metal roll by. Add hard, physical work, and you truly know discomfort. In those conditions you can die if you don't pay attention to your body. Water stations and fresh lemons and oranges keep you going.
 
As a result of those 25 years, I completely avoid heat when possible. And like they say, it's not the heat, it's the humidity. 90 degrees in New York is tougher than 120 degrees in the desert.

I was in NY once when it was 90/90. Not fun. Dry heat, like dry cold, can fool you into thinking you're OK when you're not. Frostbite sets in without you knowing it because you don't "think" it's as cold as it really is. Same with heat. Wet heat might feel worse but wet or dry, extreme temps can kill.

108 right now. Tomorrow we could reach 115.

Vegas BBQ!

106 in my town yesterday.  Will be hotter today and tomorrow.  I finished a new song though!  Enjoying a cool morning before the windows get closed up again.

 BTDT.
 
Even smaller steelmills can get pretty dicey sometimes..hottest I've ever seen was 146F ...

You're at my parents house?
They are both in their mid 90s and if it gets under 80 degrees they turn the heater on. True...
I hope you cool down soon. Maybe you'll get a good song out of being hot and annoyed... huh ? BTW it is good to be annoyed... we need more nnoyeds.

Could be worse. At least you guys don't have to spend time in attics.
140 gets a little uncomfortable after a few minutes.

I've done my share of time up in the attics in the summer times.
 
The extreme heat, the humidity, the sweat dripping off your nose & forehead in just a minute or 2, the insulation sticking to the sweat, but you can't really scratch it, or it will just dig in & get worse - yuk'
 
I can relate.
