    You don't wanna go that route. Once your bodies thermometer gets tweaked it's never the same, your damaged for life.

    Well your dang sure not gonna stay cool cooking along side the highway waiting for road service, do your self a favor, check your tires to 100 in the morning when you know your coming through. Only saw 3 today. That was 17 though where its a good 15 degrees cooler. One was super single, that looked like it F/U the dude's fairings when it left.

    Although it is cooling off a little now.

    Well, I know your gauge is off. There is no place in the U.S. that hot right now.

    If you're sitting parked on asphalt that's been getting full sun all day, yes, it can get that hot near the surface.

    I was just in Phoenix for two days. With the dash and bunk AC both running the coolest it could make it was 85 at times. My Reeses melted between the vending machine and the truck. I don't know how people live there.

    This made me lol. About your candy.

    I lived in Tucson for about 20 years until i decided to move back to Louisiana. I'll tell you what, I WANT that dry heat back. 95 with 90 to 100% humidity down here. Unbearable.

    Valuable lesson I learned as a kid in Arizona, never walk outside bare foot in the summer.

    That's in the asphalt base drop lot when I was D & H. The temps you see on TV are in the shade. Was 128 when I slowed to about 5 MPH for accident coming into town.
