DD Upon Entering Her Car......................

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 20:07:24 GMT

Holey $&(&@#%!. It was 105 according to her car thermometer. She said after a couple minutes it was down to a balmy 97. Must take AC a little bit to help cool down 105 degrees.

She left the office at 3:30 to go to the Courthouse and then she is done for the day (left early). She is going to a nearby town for a 5:00 movie. Hope the AC will be cranked up there.

When she told me about her exclamation getting in her car I said, "Geez, where did you get that mouth."

She calmly replied, My Mother.

A temp of 105 is actually almost cool for where I live (southern Arizona), where we have already had 4 days of 115 degrees and over , and 16 days of around 112 to 113 degrees! Yikes! I am lucky that my car stays in the garage, and it only takes 2 minutes or so to get the A/C cranked up!

Yea, in Arizona it's a normal temp. It's supposed to be 114 tomorrow.

Her car is in a parking lot but there are several trees surrounding it and she tries to park in the shade.

@123SuzyQ123 How efficient is your air conditioner with those extreme temperatures?

@manny2 We had to get the house A/C worked on 2 summers in a row (2017 and 2018) but it has been holding up good since those 2 repairs. My car A/C does very well, it is a fairly new car and the A/C in it is super! The heat in Arizona is a dry heat, however, last week, we had 6 straight days of heat with humidity, which is unusual ! Probably because we are in the monsoon season now.

That's enough to blister your biscuits!

For hot car I start A/C - open all the windows - blast the fan ON to let hot air exit the vehicle.

For hot seats - just stand outside of car for a couple of minutes.

@fthunt It will burn your biscuits.

When I worked the parking lot got the afternoon sun. One day the steering wheel was so hot I couldn't touch it. Opened all the windows and turned on the AC. It took awhile until I could hold the steering wheel.

My car temp routinely says 110-120 in the summer when I first get inside depending upon whether it has been parked in the sun for very long. I am SO ready for fall!

@CrazyKittyLvr2 Tell dd when she first starts the car to roll down a couple of windows part way for a few minutes. That pulls the hot air outside so the car cools sooner.

@fthunt

I have a sweater or shawl in each car ( take one with me when my friend drives ) and fold it over the seat. It's ready to go into our destination which is usually " over-air conditioned "

@CrazyKittyLvr2. Most importantly what movie did she see, and was it good. I'm always looking for suggestions.

LOL, came back to bite you in the behind!! They say, what goes around, comes around. Thanks for today's lesson.

@Travone She went to see the Jordon Peele movie NOPE.

A whopping 25 or so people in theatre.

Not surprising at all for anyone who ever experienced summer. Our cars are mostly metal and when parked under the sun, they heat up. If it's 85 outside, it will be 100 in your car under normal summer weather. That's why they sell those windshield sun shields that keep the inside cooler. Still.... I'd much rather deal with a hot car that cools when the ac kicks in than a car encased in ice and snow that has shoveled, chiseled, chipped out before you can get in. That's why regardless of how hot it gets, I don't complain. I just think about what the weather will be like in 6 months.

My car's thermometer (and I assume they all do) almost always reads hotter or cooler year round until you get going a few miles down the road.

@CrazyKittyLvr2. I've seen the promos for that movie. it looks good.

@Travone She enjoyed it. It isn't my kind of movie though.

She did say there was a preview of an Idris Elba movie coming in August. He takes his kids to Africia after his wife died. I gather she was a photographer. Rogue lion is killing folks and he has to save his kids.

Now, will I go to theatre at $10/12 bucks to see it. No. If it comes to On Demand/Direct TV and it is a 2 day rental for $3.99/5.99, probably. Looking at Idris and African scenery is worth $5 in the comfort of my own home.
