@Twistlock it’s our turn this week

@jdwaid in the UK we've got a/c in our cars, most offices have it as do a lot of shops, especially the bigger ones.

The problem we have with high heat isn't the lack of a/c - we stayed with friends in San Diego last year and they didn't have a/c and it was fine. The problem is a combination of humidity when it is hot, and houses that are made to keep heat in, not shed it. Over the past few days it was 29-30c in my bedroom, even when it had cooled down a bit outside and my windows were open.

@NickD I lived in the Pacific Northwest for a decade and most home didn’t have AC there for what I imagine are the same reasons as Europe - historically mild temperatures most of the summer. Then we had heat waves with 105F and would bake in our brick house. Luckily we had a pool we could jump in to cool off, which we did often.

Glad to know there are places to escape the heat. Sounds like it’s been brutal over there.

It’s 90F now. At 9:42 pm.

@Matt dropped to 84 here yay

[Chibs]

Here’s one.
Just received my new GR1 26L Heritage in woodland M81. Definitely in a camo phase and this was an insta buy when I saw it. So just received today and decided to take it on its first outing.

Got back and realized camo crocking on my shirt!

Now it is waxed canvas but I’ve never had transfer from my other waxed canvas GR1.
Is this normal and do u guys think this will come out of my T?

If Bryan Adams’ song was written today it would be called Summer of ‘11.

It seems like we are in for a couple days of no denim wear

I’ll work hard to stay hydrated

8:00 AM haze. Thanks Canadian wildfires...

[Matt]

Oh Taco Bell, why have you forsaken us? Not me personally, my wife won’t let us eat there.

[T4920]

@Matt I've never been disappointed with imported American fast food than when Taco Bell came to the UK...

There's been a few hits though! Popeyes is ok, and Dave's Hot Chicken has become my new favourite filthy treat...

[popvulture]

Poop Más

[Matt]

Popeyes is always legit.

Of course of all the thing that could potentially cause diarrhea at TB it had to be the iceberg lettuce.

[Jord]

@Matt I think that's irony at it's finest, can't make that shit up

My wife and I rarely get away from the farm for social events. I do get to wear IH at the office and at home so I shouldn’t “rant” but I’m going to anyhow.

We get an invite today to a friends 40th bday party in early September. Great, stoked to accept the invite and be able to wear my IH gear to a third space. Done and done right? No.

The invite, to a party at a park near a lake:
“Please join us in wearing golf attire as it’s a golf themed party”.

There is no golf course nearby, and no fucking golfing happening.
