Sure sign of summer

I notice we've just hit our annual spate of "overheating" threads. Come October, we'll get the similar bunch of "no heat" threads.

SEARCH is still your friend...

So what's the best advice if I'm overheating...like personally??? I recently heard someone say they drink warm water. Strange but maybe it works.

Same thing the old-style junkies used to do when their buddy OD'd:

Full tray of ice in your shorts.

Tea. Oh sorry, you threw yours into Boston Harbor a while back.....

I wonder how many are still running partially plugged radiators with lots of fans added?.

Oddly enough our one A/C unit is being serviced. New Trane just put in about 2 years ago. Guy is stopping back today with the part. At least it hasn't been 90 degrees here lately.
