What are you doing to beat the heat??

[Northland]

we are at 94 with 60% humidity going towards 75% humidity. You can cut the air with a knife!

We had dew points of 82 degrees on Tuesday. Now that's humid.  Not only could you cut it with a knife... you could scoop it with a spoon.
Literally, the only place in the world with a higher dew point was the Amazon rainforest.

I love telling my kids in Indiana and Michigan to come to Florida to "cool off".  Yesterday it was 90 in SW Florida and 96 in Michigan.

we are at 75deg dew point, so not far behind . . . Not sure I would be willing to run  screenprinting shop if the AC was not an option.

I enjoy the heat.  I do not have a/c at the house nor in my truck.  so when I go into work and it reaches 105 in the press area I am used to it..    My motto is the A/C make you weak.   Just let you body cool it self and stay well hydrated along with electrolites and you will be just fine.

95 with 40% here. Coming in at 5:30 in the morning and going into the
AC in embroidery by 9:30.

105 in the shop right now, progress is slow I keep taking breaks. I miss having the shop at home and coming inside for AC  and ice cold tea breaks. My cold drink stay cold for about 10 minites here at the shop. This mini fridge isnt cutting it.

We have been experiencing a record heat wave here in OKIE land. Thus far the month of July has been the hottest ever recorded here. I think the av. temp for this month has been 89.6.  This is well over the 30th day of the summer with temps at or above 100.  Hot mfer for sure. It was 110 in the shop this afternoon.  Fixing to shut down and go hit the pool....

This our nastiest day of the year so far, but tomorrow is supposed to be worse. I'm in the office mostly, where we have AC, but the shop is 98 right now, and the Dew point is about 74, like light beer, effing close to water... short lunches, skip 2nd break, leave early. We'd let them come in even earlier to be able to leave earlier, but alas, they don't show up early, so...

Thinking about switching to over nights...  6pm to 3am. Pick up customers will hate me but dang it's hot!

36" and 42" blower fans to help circulate the air.  Ive been wearing basically nothing and hoping the neighbors dont see when i flash the fan to relieve the 'swoobs' ...also keep forgetting to bring in my camelbak--wouldn't be the first time i printed wearing it. LOL

We generally start printing at 3am all year. My printers wife had a baby so he's been off the past 3 days.  Been stacking the printing up and he and I will start about 9pm tomorrow night and print till it's done, proable sometime Saturday afternoon.
I gotta ask Shellyky, what is a "camelbak"  Noone else asked so maybe they know, but I don't have a clue.  I know what a camel t.. never mind.

Here you go, but I'm surprised, knowing you, you didn't ask her, "one hump or two"?

Brings up an PG13 or R rated joke, I first heard 50 years ago, perfect for you because it also includes cigarettes.

A woman is out on the lake, in a boat fishing with a guy friend.
He asks her if she'd like a smoke, and proceeds to take one out of an unlubricated condom (this is an old joke remember)
"What's that"? (remember, this is an old joke)
"It's  a rubber, a condom, Good for keeping my smokes dry"

The next day she went to her drug store and asked where to find them. "They need to fit a pack of Camels" she told the clerk.

Since finally replacing the dehumidifier in my screen catalog, I have been paying much more attention to our relative humidity in general.
Today, at 10:00 am, 38% outside, 49% inside.
Outside temp is 82, and the shop is dark and not operating this morning so the temp in there doesn't mean much right now. Art and computer room is in the house, air conditioned. 

I feel for you.  82 outside.  That must be tuff......

I just bought a swamp cooler and it is fine if you are standing within 8-10 ft of it and I put a big fan by the roll up door to exhaust the heat. Works ok but A.C. would be awesome.
