FROM JIM H....
The temperature on my patio in Phoenix right now is 114 degrees F.
My garage temperature is 77 degrees F. using a Swamp cooler. The change in phase of water from liquid to gas (evaporation) absorbs 540 calories (About 2300 joules) for each gram of water evaporated.
This is called latent heat of evaporation.
I installed my evap cooler in a side wall of the garage. It exhausts into the garage then up through the access port into the attic, to reduce the temperature up there. Which can get to 160 degrees F. on these warm days, if it is not vented properly.
I just checked the temperature of a metal chair on my back patio; it was 151 degrees F.
Compare this with some of the SV cooking temperatures used during SV cooking listed in your new SV book. I like my chicken cooked SV at 145 degrees F., for 2 hours.

CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF........ I CANNOT TAKE THE DUMP TRAILER TO THE TRANSFER STATON BY MYSELF IF I HAVE TO BE BACK ON ANYKIND OF SCHEDULE....
CASE IN POINT... JANINE--- QUITE RIGHTLY-- WANTS THER TRASH OUT OF HERE WITH COMPANY COMING;...
STICKING OUT OF THE TOP IS A METAL GATE----- A BIG METAL GATE.. WHICH THEY WILL. WANT TOSSED IN THE METAL PILE BEFORE I DUMP THE REST.. THIS I JUST CAN NOT DO..... SO I WILL HAVE TO BACK THE TRASHY MESS INTO THE SIDE OF THE PARKING PIT UNTIL I HAVE MORE STRONGER HELP..
THIS WILL BE AN UNATTRACTIVE NUISANCE TO JANINE... BUT I CAN NOT GO THERE AT 7:30 AM AND PLAN TO BE READY TO GO TO THE AIRPORT AT 9:30. IF I HAD ALOT OF TIME, I COULD. WAVE A $20 BILL OUT THE WINDOW AND PROBABLY DO VERY WELL. BUT THERE CAN BE A LONG LINE... WHICH I CAN DEAL WITH LATER.

SHORT LECTURE ON BEING A FIRST PARENT---AND HOW PEDIATRRITIONS ARE DRIVEN NUTS BY THE MIDNIGHT PHONECALLS--- SOME OF OUR CAMERA PEOPLE FALL INTO THAT CATAGORIE -- GETTING ALL UPSET WHEN A DOG HAS A TEMP OF 103 --- THEN STARTING THE PANIC ROUND OF "YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM TO THE VET". MOST OF YOU HAVE GROWN BEYOND THAT STAGE... AND I CALL ON YOU TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE NEW COMMERS WHO ARE IN PANIC MODE IF A PUP VOMITS--- THESE ARE GREAT DANES AND INTESTINAL IRREGULARITIES ARE A FACT OF LIFE.. SOMETIME AGO I DISCUSSED "SIDEWALK SUPERINTENDENTS".... AND HOW DISCUSSING HAPPENINGS ON THE EXPLORE COMMENTS WAS MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE SO PEOPLE THERE CAN SHARE INFORMATION THEY HAVE SEEN AND LEARNED........ THIS IS MUCH MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN ROARING OFF ON FACEBOOK WHERE EVERY LEAF BLOWN IN THE BREEZE IS A UFO.
