    Lubing outdoors

    Upstate New York rarely sees days temperature above 90 degrees. We have had 4 days in a row above 95 so I took the Saeco lube-sizer outdoors to see if the lube would flow without the heater to soften it up. It did so without a problem except fpr one thing. ME! This 70 year old can't stand in that kind of heat. I have heard of others doing this and I have to give you a tip o' the hat. To much for me.

    Now all you need to do is add the high humidity that we have along with that kind of heat every year. When we walk outside we get a natural sauna bath, clothes and all.

    I don't have to go out side, it has been so hot here that it's now the same inside as it is out side.
    Yesterday was 96 out side and 92 inside, and let me tell you it can get very taxing on some of us. We have no air conditioning, the windows in the camp slide back and forth--not up and down. so a air conditioner is very expensive.
    It's at the point now that we must do as little as possible so as to not over heat,
    also must keep the dogs cool.

    Most of us older guys remember when there was no such thing as AC. That's why homes had porches and swings. And boy, am I glad those days are gone!!!!!
