I'm with Steve-O. I need more beer! LOTS more beer!

This heat is fricken brutal, and hardly a breeze here, which is like the second time since I moved here that there hasn't been a breeze. The trip to get some brews was nice, then I got out of the car... EC sez it's only 25ºC, their GD weather station's been fubar all summer

Good luck! The news says there's none to be found in Halifax.

I head that timbr lumber is having a sale on portable AC units, that was on 95.7 about 5 minutes after they declared "mission impossible" on findin a fan....

My apt was 32C at 8pm Tonite, like shiite, wtf really. I spend 4 hours at a semi cool bar only to come home to this crap.

seen several on kijiji. May have to bite the bullet and get something

53C is 127.5F for those who care...

I had a cold shower, now i got out and need another cold shower.

Meh, I'm pushing 67ºC on ye olde Q6600

when I checked mine last night after playing BC2 for about 30 mins - 52 degrees.

Think I'll wire up some 12V fans to provide cooling for when the power inevitably goes out.

Well looks like Halifax is going to get some very high winds and other places west south East and northern are getting it worse. Because of the direction a hurricane spins, being on the right side we are really going to have some high winds. This is going to suck bawls.

well, i wasn't sure if staying in yarmouth or coming back to halifax would be worse with the hurricane. and well, i'm still not. but i'm back in halifax anyway.
as far as the heat goes, i think i want to be back in yarmouth. it was 16C when i woke up in my apartment this morning. in my room here in halifax... it's 41C. and the drive, oh god the drive. was very nice until about digby when the furnace just went insane. haha.

You go to school in Yarmouth? That's about 30 mins from where I live.

Almost good to go.

maybe I should pick up a battery powered smoke detector, mine are AC and IIRC most of the people that died in Juan were killed in fires after the fact.

i start at Burridge next wednesday. i'l be there until the end of december and then god only knows what i'll be doing.

every time i drove down to yarmouth i would see the sign for Woods Harbour and kept thinking, "i know someone from there... but WHO?!". now i know.

I don't think my house got above 29*C with all the windows open and it was bad, but not "I need to run out and buy an AC or a fan" bad. I ended up going to Rainbow Haven after work though for a swim and the water and waves were awesome. After about 20 minutes I was cool until about 9pm when I started getting hot again.
