    So I'm treating a pretty good burn on a couple of my fingers tonight after grabbing my bar off the trailer deck, which had been baking in the Florida sun for a few hours. I had the first strap tight by the time I realized how bad it was burning my hands! :biggrin_25516:

    Wait until summer in the Arizona sun. That kind of heat will make you leave flesh on the bar.
