Black asphalt and Midwestern heatwaves

[GrainReaper]

Living in the Phoenix area I can attest to dealing with heat, I have had shoe soles melt while on the pavement, gotten blisters on the backs of my legs from sitting down on a leather car seat, had CDs melt while in the car radio. My suggestion is the same as Copperheid, lots of water to keep the sweat glands working and pray for a breeze.

In the summer it is 110 inside the shop at my toolbox, outside in the shade 118 is not uncommon. I drink around 2 gallons of water per day to keep from burning up

The first car I ever bought was a 1955 Austin-Healey. Brown leather seats, baseball stitching. Got in it on a 102 degree day in Scottsdale, was bare from ankles to almost the waist at the back...BURNED the baseball stitching pattern into myself. Wish burn cream came in an aerosol can...

Have you considered soaking your shirt tails in water beforehand? Should last most of the day, and if you still wear those mile-long shirts, won't be that bad.
