Did you have your knife?I was working on a Hydrofluoric acid cracking unit in Long Beach. We had to wear full body acid suits and supplied air with all openings taped up because if you get this stuff on you it gets right past the skin and goes after the bone marrow. Full shower decontamination every time you left the unit and it was 105 outside (a bit hotter than that in the unit).
What do I win????
Well I couldn't take it into the unit with me but you can bet it was waiting for me the second I got through decon.Did you have your knife?

Thank you for doing thatI was just the team chief for a 5 man Minuteman III, Missile maintenance team, taking care of a nuclear weapon site. Just another normal work day! ;D ☠
Holy shit. We went to Needles sometime around this time. It was so damn hot. The most painful part was driving the Magic to the beach. SOB. We started a new rule. No booking hotels in July/August more than a couple weeks out.View attachment 894243 This was 2013.
I was in the channel. Neck deep with a sombrero. Remember the hot air burning my nose bit when taking a deep breathe.
Same day. But 2 years earlier for the quakes.Was that the weekend of the big Bear and Landers Quakes?

That's what I figured, just trying to be sure. That's the day I was in the Flamingo for my sister's wedding in Vegas. Wild ride in a high rise and watching houses crushed and burning at home was rough to say the least.Same day. But 2 years earlier for the quakes.
It definitely was a day I'll never forgetThat was 1992. Gnarly
That was the year that my daughter and I painted the outside of our Havasu house. We came rolling into town and stopped at Walmart for some supplies and all you hear from everyone in the isles was talk about how insanely hot it was. When we got to the check-out the girl at the register asked if it was hot enough for us, I said "we just rolled into town and yes it's blazing out there but you live here so you should already be used to it". She looked at and said " you don't really believe that any one actually gets used to 127 , do you"!View attachment 894243 This was 2013.
