Not even in your patio with the fans going does it make it palatable. ElPaso autumn and spring and even winter where it stays mostly in the 60s. Wow, that is nice, it even smells nice. If I ever like summer it was because it was summer vacation. Once I graduated it meant working in the hot temperatures and that ain't no picnic. You couldn't even touch the aircraft skin as it was like a frying pan, we had to wear gloves.

Now, when I go outside in the summer I can't imagine that I used to WORK outside and it hardly fazed me. I guess with my old age I've become pampered...and that ain't bad.

I hear ya.

Raise on a farm so I spent many a summer baling hay and being up in the mow stacking it.

Nothing like a 100+ degree haymow full of dust and being barely able to breath.

I look at it like this. We're not pampered now, we just dealt with the hardships back in the day that allows us to enjoy creature comforts.

Did what you had to to then, live to enjoy the fruits of your labor now.
