Urgh… I hear you. I work remote (even before the quarantine) and my work desk is also in the the hottest room in the apt. Yesterday I worked in my boxers and nothing else. Good thing there were no video meetings scheduled!
Good luck with your AC. I’m shit at DIY/home improvement and I’m a renter so I can’t help you here. Maybe call Home Depot or some store like that and see if you can get advice…? (not sure they are open but who knows).
You guys are precious. 
Try hauling luggage through that Chicago shit after 24 hours of travel, then deal with Union Station while Amtrak is frozen and everybody is screaming at each other, then another 12 hours of Amtrack travel (which should take three) while old friends you haven’t seen in decades are thrown off the train for drinking too much.
I fucking hate Chicago…
Moab gets so hot that it becomes illegal to smoke a cigarette outside. You can fry an egg on the pavement. You could die walking off a cliff.
I love Moab. 
(And I’m liking this weather dick measuring contest…)
Frame the face with 1x2s, mount the AC to that. You’ll be screwing into your inside trim, but assuming it’s wood, a little filler and paint down the road is better than a permanent hole in your vinyl.
Oh shit, I didn’t actually read that. Vinyl windows??? I make those things!!! AC?? I got you covered.
Basically go to walmart and buy the cheapest thing. It comes with insulation but you don’t need it. Just plop it in your window and get those accordion pieces connected and plug it in.
Here’s mine:
I’ve been back packing where it was 110 in the shade, but I haven’t lived out west. It is such a Mid West thing to say…but for me it isn’t so much the heat but the humidity that gets me…lol
Japan is fucking crazy with the humidity. When I lived there and came back to visit i would say how much i loved the dryness. After Moab, I came back and said how much I loved the humidity.
So your one time bad experience in Chicago compares to 4.5 years of someone living there…?
Nobody’s making this a contest. Talking about extreme weather, memories come to mind.
You chose to live in one of the hottest place on earth and love it, good for you. Making fun of others because of your choice doesn’t make you hardcore or better or whatever. In your own words, you are “precious” just as much.
Nah, you’re reading me wrong. It sometimes comes with the territory when communing through text and not face to face. I enjoy hearing about people’s experiences and sharing my own. I like to give people shit and receive it. 
All good. Yup, it’s a pain that the inability to use non-verbal clues can lead to misunderstandings when communication is text only!
In related news It’s still having some cold days in Salt Lake and I’m ready for the mountains to melt so I can go fucking backpacking all season.
I’m going to sit on this stack of cash I got from my lay off and try to spend the majority of this summer up in the wilderness recouping. Can’t fuckin’ wait.
I’ll go isolate in the pines, fuck this city nonsense right now. haha.
Don’t be surprised that when you return shit has gone full Mad Max: Road Warrior.
I know there are some Pixies/Black Francis fans here…I fucking forgot about Frank Black and the Catholics, some of his best work IMO. Seen 'em live a few times. High energy show.
SLC sucks hard. What a weirdass place to live. Aryan mormons everywhere, meth heads on every corner screaming at everybody, dudes in the liquor stores with open guns strapped on their chests, etc…
No arguments from me, this place IS hella weird. I was born and raised here and I still find it weird as fuck compared to other places. It’s its own little fucked up church-ran ecosystem of shit, with a bizarre counter culture that really wants to be in the pacific northwest.
For what it’s worth, my son had a blast there. He also had a blast in Moab. You should probably move to Moab and live out of your car. You’d love it!!! My sister is making plans to move back…
Better yet, come visit my fucked up home town. I hosted a fellow IDMf member and his lady for two epic days, and it was amazing. “Come visit me in France next time, but it won’t be as intense.” 
Haha is IL pretty nuts? Never been there.
Although I did go and visit @GomesR for a week last year and by the last night I was there it was reported that I was screaming in my sleep.
True story, @GomesR can back it up
Vlantis just has it SOOO bad, we should all weep for his hardships.
Hell yeah that was fun, even with mornings like this
Need to do it again one of these days, good times.
Illinois sucks, but my town is weirder than ever. People are dressed up in all kinds of things and look like they want to kill you at the local store. Who the fuck are these people? What are my normal friends doing now? At least it’s better than Kansas:
Sheeeit, I met SoftGreens, ChaseDobson (in Osaka and in Denver), crashed at JazzySpoon’s place, got interviewed by Denial in Kobe, interviewed IG88, got interviewed by Benwaa for a podcast, etc…
I thought most people got that interview this year
XD
