IT'S TOO HOT!!!!
Did as much yard work as I could last night between 7:30 and sundown, finished the rest this morning before 9:30am. It's been mid to high 90's the last couple days, and will be there again today through at least Tuesday. I just work till I get tired, then I quit. My sister wound up in the ER in St. Louis yesterday with dehydration. She passed out after doing yard work for an hour. Everybody be careful out there. What are YOU doing to stay cool this weekend?

Back in the late 1970s my summer job was working on an assembly line for Allis-Chalmers building Gleaner Combines. The building was a huge sheet metal building with no AC, concrete floors. They had fans but it just made the inside like a blast furnace in July and August. My first year there I worked 7am to 3:30 pm and it was hotter than a mother. My second year I got on the night shift and worked 3:30pm to midnight. Much better duty, it would usually cool off around 8pm, and the pay was better too.

I work outside in it all day long in Florida so I'm used to it. It definitely gets old sweating all day long.

When you're young you can do that. Now that I'm an old fart, some of the meds I take have warnings not to be outside in sunshine for extended periods of time. I have to be careful when doing yard work or going to a sporting event not to sit in direct sunlight for too long. Sucks getting old, man. I try to work my mowing pattern to mow the parts of my yard that are shady while they're in the shade, and stay away from the ones that are not. Between morning and evening, I can mow about 80% of the whole yard in shade if it's done at the right time.

I wear a bulletproof vest 10 hours a day. I try to do a majority of my ticket writing in the morning before it gets too hot. Once it hits lunch time I’m usually dripping sweat in and out of my car.

I give everyone 10mph. Anything over that I will usually stop them. 10mph over is fairly generous on my end.

Don't you write tickets based on when people do bad things?
