Getting Warm!

Got warm early today.

Miserable already. I fixed 2 trucks then mowed yesterday. Already had truck going down this morning that I had to get up and running. Hopefully it'll calm down the rest of the day.

I was going to get on the roof but I had to pick my dad up from the auto shop. Didn't get home till just now. Soooooo it's going to wait till Friday LATE afternoon lol

95 here with Humidity of 200%.

This evening in downtown Charlotte.

I just wish it were a dry heat. The air is so thick it's difficult to breath. I can soak a shirt through in minutes. Those wicking shirts help some but they get pretty wet too.
If you work out in it, stay hydrated. Dehydration can sneak up on you. Ended up in the hospital hooked up to IV's one time because of it.

I don't wanna here about no pore soul getting water boarded. That's how I feel going to lock the gate.

@Beef15 will get a kick out of this. At 2 o’clock one of my trucks ran over a mattress in the landfill. So I was laying on the hot asphalt with a pair of bolt cutters and a small cutoff wheel trying to get this thing unwrapped from around the driveshaft. The heat, humidity, and smell would’ve killed in there own.

You’re a better man than I. 100% humidity is about all I can handle.

Hate it for ya, it's unfun when it's not hot. Personally think the driver should have to do it, but most of them would cut everything under the truck.

Glad I cleaned the rain gutters on Sunday.

I don't pay much attention to the heat. Storms coming from the heat, that's a whole nother story. We (O2L) work in the barn from 8-11:30 AM, and back down for the PM feeding and bring the horses and mini donks in at 4:30 PM. I go back to the barn at 11:30PM to cut the fans off and clean the stalls again. I mowed the back pasture and yard a couple of days ago. I drink water and pace myself after having almost dropping after putting up hay and NOT hydrating enough a couple of years ago. I can handle the heat but do not do well in the cold...at all. Drink plain old water...LOTS of it.

Hah, coworker and I were in concrete house footings all day and he was leaving big sweaty wet spots everywhere we stopped. I would have been doing the same, but luckily my sunglasses lenses catch all of my sweat.
