Time for

i would put myself in the fridge

I'll be in Las Vegas tomorrow afternoon until Friday. I'm dreading the heat already.

im inside fuck that

those are two smart doggies

central air is your best friend on days like this! :thumbsup

can regular air conditioning even get a house down into the 70's when it's 118 outside? or do you need some super duper air conditioning system that is different from regular ones?

and what about pool temperature? a month of plus 100 degrees and wouldn't the pool water be like 90?

mutt, let me say this, i was out of town for a few days, decided to turn my ac off, and got back the house was 95 and its gotten as low as 90 but thats it for the past 3 hours...will have to wait til night until it gets to the 70s

30c in Manuel Antonio today

perfecto!

Oh Steve, don't overexagerate... my car said it was only 115... geeze.. 118.. LOL

Mutt, my pool is in the upper 90s right now.. it's bathwater later in the day basically. In the mornings its reasonable.

lol that's like asking someone from Indiana if their heater can keep them warm when it's negative 10 with wind chill. Yes a normal central air can keep your house in the 70s even when it's 118 but it will run a lot.

pool temperature? well that is another story cause i never swam in my pools when it was above 100 during the day. I would go for a dip after midnight when the air at least cooled down a bit but yeah the pool water feels like bath water still.

I am born and raised here in Phoenix, Scottsdale, AZ The Arizona Heat does not bother me.

Welcome to Arizona, NOW GO HOME!

Cool Pics Steve!

if all the people went home who weren't born in Arizona it would be tumbleweeds and a two lane highway - which is what it was in the 1950's before air conditioning became commonplace.

im going hire a indian over at gila river reservation have them do a rain dance who want's to pitch in? :1orglaugh:helpme

This is why I jumped when I got the chance to move out of Phoenix. I loved working for Steve and the people there, but the head was bullshit. Luckily Steve has a killer pool to keep him cool.

I remember the day it was 122, I was up on a roof working, yeah i was 15 or 16 so it was just another day...lol But 118 is cool compared to Gila Bend and those 120 plus days... lol

Hey.. The summer heat makes the girl's clothes come off !! Hee hee :)

ahhh I remember those days! I loved them. Can't wait to move back.

I loved AZ! Lived in Scottsdale for almost 4 years.

Steve's pool rocks, specially when he does belly flops:winkwink:

Scottsdale the rich side

you must not know much about the area. There are a hell alot of areas "richer" then scottsdale

Very hot temperature. Those dogs must be sweating heavily.

And it was a lot better then... too many people here and too much development now.

Damn,I don't think I'd last too long in that type of heat.

I would say maybe a couple of areas, but not a "hell alot". Paradise Valley for sure... maybe Carefree. But, back in 2000 Paradise Valley was the #1 community in terms of wealth, and Scottsdale #2. Things haven't changed that much.

They don't have that Scottsdale attitude though :winkwink:

Ahh cute pic. I didn't even notice it was that hot. After 114, it all starts to feel the same to me. :)

High heat does make some awesome lightning storms

damn, nice pic.

Just be glad your humidity isn't 93% like it is here.

u need air conditioners in the summer like we need heaters in the winter - matter of survival.

i'd melt. it's been about 70-80 all month here

These puppies are pop.

Your right. I would says in terms of wealth, Paradise Valley, Carefree, Goldfield, Gold Canyon, and Fountain Hills, are ahead of Scottsdale. I dont really consider Scottsdale all that nice until you get north of Shea Blvd.

paradise valley

cute dog!
Should be 80 here today, not too bad!

I don't know, it was reading 117 on the patio in the shade at out place. And I had the fun of replacing our pool pump in that horrific heat. Of course my wife and her girlfriend were doing a little topless sunbathing action, so it made it bearable, except for the sweat in my eyes.......:1orglaugh

I keep the aerator going so our pool stays pretty cool, even during this heat :winkwink:

We're going to head out there this weekend.... check out a Dbacks game and some property. Should be a hot trip. :)

lol, Love the picture : )

It was so hot this weekend!

Steve it was great to have you, Shannon and Corvette in town. Maybe you should consider a summer house up here and be a snow bird.

I run my aerator quite often as well. Only problem with the continual use is that ph levels get out of whack really quick particularly if your TA is not in check . A couple gallons of acid on hand is a must.

79F degrees, 40% humidity here right now. I complain my ass off in winter about the snow (149.6 inches this past season! Dayum), and about the bitter cold.. But you know what they say.. in the cold, you can almost always put on another layer.. but when it's hot, you can only get naked down to your skin!

Stay cool!

In the 80's here :)

Lets not forget Desert Foothills in Ahwatukee , many multi Million dollar homes in Ahawatukee

Yeah nice place, spent my freshman, sophomore and junior year of high school there. Went to Desert Vista, very nice public school as well. :thumbsup

Sitting in O Hare waiting for my plane to AZ, today is my move to Gilbert! :helpme

Weird, I've heard Steve gives great head!

Nice. That's where I am looking this weekend

Dont forget the new San Tan areas as well now... I was just up in Chandler Heights and man there are many Multi Million dollar estates up there as well, and what i like about Gilbert and Chandler Heights is that it is more green unlike ugly desert looking Snottsdale.

Gilbert, San Tan and east Queen Creek has many million dollar homes and it looks GREEN! Green can be refreshing after seeing so much Desert Landscape... lol

was 110 in woodland hills yesterday (porn valley)
and humid too..needless to say we kept the outside sets to a minimum.

Tempe has a lot of expensive areas as well. Over where I live there are double lots and it is right by a golf course. Most of us actually have grass and not desert landscaping. I really hate the desert landscaping. I do have to say that I like a lot of the areas in Gilbert. :thumbsup

thats fuckin hot

I dont miss that for a second. Its the reason I moved to the NW

A few months ago when my area hit that temp (which was an all time record) we had several large bushfires break out, and 173 people died. I hope everyone is safe in your area.
