I was in a bar in Soldotna Alaska... It was hot, Really HOT !!!!

"Good Time Charlies"..........OH MY!!!
I still have nightmares of that place.
They have better looking women in Olathe KS in their dancing bars and that's scary as hell.

Sorry I'm late on this post but just got over the shock of it being to hot for beer. Really Brian?

How about blowing glass?

I took a class in it back in the 1990s. I still twirl tools.

There's a furnace with the molten glass, and you use a blowpipe to take a gather. Where you go from there depends on what you intend to make.

Then aside that, is the "glory hole" which is just a furnace as hot as the glass furnace. You poke your glass piece into there for a moment or two to keep it hot and pliable.

Glass is really tricky with temperature. It is hard and it might shatter if it's too cold, and then if it's too hot it can pour like syrup. Working with it requires facing roaring heat.

I cant drink beer when it gets that hot either but a little Honey Jack would go good in that tea

Mmmmmm.....London Iced Tea.
At least you guys should be getting a cool rain coming from Atlanta by way of the Gulf.

Doh!
Yup....maybe I had too much "tea" myself. You can tell I don't fool around with the fancy stuff. Thanks for catching that Bearcarver.

No matter how hot it got at Cape Lisbourne, Alaska, NO-ONE drank tea!!!

Iced tea (especially sweet tea) is not as popular in my part of north as DFW.
Long Island varieties are more favored

How about blowing glass?

I spent a summer working in the foundry (way) back when I was student worker in the University Engineering Department.
My face was well tanned from brass pouring and helping with the aluminum pouring for student projects.

Bottles of Blatz Beer out of the soda pop machine at our co-op house tasted very good. Only 25¢ (and we made money!).
On very hot days, we skipped the beer and went to El Torito's for $1 Margaritas

I was manning a booth at a trade show in front of a casino in Laughlin, NV. It was 117degrees in the shade. Some lady said it's dry heat, don't let it bother you. Tell that to the turkey in the oven on Thanksgiving. He's still gonna roast. It was not too hot for beer, or cold water, or iced tea.
