If anyone's out there reading, where is everybody?! This is by far the most exciting and worthwhile forum I luv to read! I learn (hopefully) so much from you guys you wouldn't believe it. Anyways, I know it's summer and all, but projects don't stop...unless I'm missing something lol! I hope you guys continue with your superb info, because it's guys like me that have no where else to turn to for advice and expertise. Hope you guys are enjoying your summer, but would be better with more threads!! :rockon:

Middle of winter here, with snow forecast over the next few days and Antarctic winds.

I'm here, sitting inside the house at a nice, comfortable 16C. With the apparent temperature outside at close to zero, I think I'll stay inside. :wink:

I live in Arizona and the temps have been in the high 90s to low 100s for a few weeks now. So very limited time in the garage.

In fact it got so hot the spare tire on my flatbed trailer exploded:

My wife told me she thought she heard a gunshot. So I thought maybe the neighbor was shooting a coyote, then I saw tire and realized that was what she heard.

Brand new tire cover, ruined as well.

Same here in NJ. Been in the high 90's for over a week, and with the humidity, I heard the heat index was 107 one day. Trying to work, but have to change clothes at lunchtime, and sopping wet (again!) by 2! I'm retired from 9 to 5, but still work 6 or 7 days a week in the shop. Dangerous in these temps to stay out too long!

I decided to wait until we had a bit of a heat wave - started this project when it was 105 F.

Though it has cooled down some, Saturday it should be right around 100 F again. Very low humidity though.

It would have been almost impossible without the EZ-Ups.
