olddust1 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Here in central Arizona we have had now 30 days of 110 degrees or higher. Still counting. But this 83 year ol'fogy prefers that over shoveling snow or cleaning up after a flood. John Old Dust Scrollers do not have "scrap wood". We only have a constant diminishing dementional inventory. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerJay Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 That is some serious heat - not something I would want to even begin to contemplate. Just to add a little contrast - this picture of my workshop was taken one morning a few years ago when the temperature bottomed out at - 40 C. That kind of cold is not a regular occurrence but we can expect it at least once or twice a winter. The haze you see we call "Frost Fog".

Denny Knappen Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I could not survive 110 degrees. Our days of 90 plus is hard on this body. Jay, that is a beautiful shop. Reminds me of the cabin in northern MN. RangerJay and vykus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerJay Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Denny: Pretty much the same chunk of the woods - we're just north of Quetico Park in Northwestern Ontario - International Falls is 1 1/2 hour drive west. We might have been neighbours! Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Jay, when I said northern MN, more like north central MN. St Cloud to be exact, but still closer than TN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 John, I'd never survive that kind of heat, I have a hard time with the temps being in the ninties. I'm a winter person, no matter how cold it gets, you can dress for it and work in it. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkey Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm with you John. I'll take the heat over the snow. Glad it cooled down a little for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 And I thought it has been hot here in illinois. I guess not. Thank God for air conditioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Our 90 plus has been good enough for me.I feel for ya.John. Ditto. Suppose to go down maybe to mid to lower 80's first of next week. So looking forward to that! Glad I was born after Air Conditioning for sure! I too love the Picture of Jay's shop in the Winter BUT I like the concept of snow and seeing it in pretty pictures but a day or two of it and I am good to move on. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

125 CSL Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Local here the heat index has been running between 100 to 116. However we have been having cloud cover and rain the past few days, So I have pulled out some old pine to see how much of this rust I can work off. Got better once I switched back to a regular blade.
