It reached 103F here today (39.4C) AND we lost power this afternoon for about an hour. My only concern was contemplating trying to sleep in this heat without at least a fan. Turned out to be the transformer on the utility pole down the street. Public Service Electric and Gas came out very promptly to make at least a temporary fix until a permanent replacement transformer can be installed tomorrow.
I grew up in a house that had no air conditioning and can generally live without it with not much problem. I guess that's why I don't mind hot weather at all. However all that said, it is tough to sleep in a sauna!
On a radio note, I installed eight AA batteries in the PFR3A and no go! Looks like I have to re-solder the wire between the two battery inserts. The problem is that these inserts are very flimsy and you have to be FAST with the soldering iron.

I don't envy you those temperatures. I think I'd invest in a pool, even if only one of those inflatable ones, if temperatures that high were common here.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind a sauna, in fact we go for one twice a week, but I wouldn't want to wear clothes or work in one, never mind sleep! I hope cooler weather is on the way.
