Hate the heat.....

Override the float switch and then leave???��

Tried sucking the drain out with your shopvac?

It was a really brief consideration I'll try the shopvac idea. Planning to pour some bleach down the drain tonight.

Recommend the shopvac before the bleach.

Always camp by a lake with a cliff jumping option..

I was wondering if hanging was possible at Carolina Beach. Will you be at a state park? Trees?

Who are you asking? Please start a thread or PM me or whoever. I'll be glad to discuss with you just don't want to hijack this thread.

WOAH! I didn't know there was any place on earth that didn't get below 81° at night! (joking...but just barely ) So what's the daytime temp?

Daytime around this time of year is between 91 and 98 degrees with wildly fluctuating humidity. By August it can get even hotter, and if we get thunderstorms several days in a row, we often get a stifling stillness with virtually no wind and high humidity. Once you get past body temperature with humidity above 90%, sweat won't evaporate. That means you'll look like somebody threw a bucket of water on you within 20 minutes of stepping outside, and you're a good hour away from heat exhaustion.

Strangely enough though, it's been teasingly cool at night since I ordered my hammock, but it's usually around 85 degrees at night this time of year---if you're lucky. Hot summer nights are constant in the Dothan area, but by August, it's consistently low to mid 90s even after midnight, and God help us if it rains too close to sunset. We've seen night time temperatures of 100 degrees and 100% humidity--with zero wind.

Backyarded it with los ninos last night. Started at 79, got down to 63, 100% humidty, no rain. I slept most of the night with a wrung out towel on my chest in nothing but a small pair of shorts. Poor neighbors...

Everything was soaked this morning. From sweat, from the air, the dew. Now's the time I'm asking: "do I even need an UQ this month?"

The wife headed out for a conference. I'm caught up on yard work, work work, and dissertation work.

Decided I was going to string up the hammock out in the sticks and read the afternoon away with a nice cold, maybe slightly amended, beverage.

Laid down, got comfortable, and started sweating. Profusely. In the shade.

This is worthless weather. Back inside until the sun goes down.

Yikes. D: That's where I'd give up, and you'd find me trying to crawl into the refrigerator. Or better yet, searching for a walk-in fridge that'll fit my hammock!

Just a refrigerator? I've actually tried to convince the 3rd shift clerk in the local Hop-In to let me bring a pillow and blanket into their walk-in beer cooler during one of those 100 degree, 100% humidity nights! It's 91 at the moment, and weather.com is claiming we've got 5mph wind, but not a single leaf is moving out there. All we can hope for is a storm to kick in later this afternoon--one that won't just spit rain for about five minutes and shoot the humidity up to 100% without cooling us off. ...and people wonder why I call this place the Dirty South.
