Midlife 814 Report post Posted August 17, 2020 I hear our brethren out in the Left Coast (I'm thinking of Bakingfield, CA) are having a warm spell, or so they say. I've heard that it is hot enough to fry an egg on a Camaro hood. True dat? 1 Caseyrhe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverjade 35 Report post Posted August 18, 2020 Being the long time Central Florida resident, I always say a little thanks to the inventors of air conditioning. My wife attended John B. Gorrie Elementary in Tampa, I believe he resided in Pensacola, which is near the area of a certain person who posts on this forum and is good with electrons. : ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John B.Gorrie was the inventor of mechanical cooling. BTW, did you know that electrons actually run from ground to positive? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 Ya, we've been typical hot, 105-109. But our humidity which barely gets out of the teens has been stupid high. The other day we were at 105°, and then the thunder and heavy rain started. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted August 20, 2020 I'd take that over 90° at noon and a smoke cover from the Lake fire in LA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
