Weather IT'S TOO HOT!!!! - Page 2

**gblowfish** · 06-16-2018, 09:47 AM

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?

I’m in Paxson, Alaska, trying to fish. It’s been too windy to drive the boat and it’s been raining but it got to about 34 degrees last night. Staying cool is not a problem this weekend.

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

Please send some of it here.

We have had less than a 1/4 inch in the last month and crazy hot weather.
Thursday I drove home from golf in a monsoon, only a short slight drizzle here though.
My big shop is too hot to work in, so I am back in the woodshop that stays cool, around 75, getting some stuff done.

Yesterday in KC though it was hot there was a breeze that helped. I did mow the backyard when I got home and trimmed around everything. Ill get the front when I feel like today but I plan to watch as much of the open as I can stand. Joe Buck will make that sooner than later.

I'm wondering how you can get promoted out of traffic enforcement if there is not a qualifier to separate yourself from your coworkers.

No, we don’t make extra money depending on the amount of tickets we write.

If you’re working your ass off it can help get you in the right step as far as promotions go. We work a lot of hit and runs and if we can solve them that helps as well.

Judge dismissed it. I was saving the earth....

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

Working in the elements my whole life I always liked winter over summer. You can always put more clothes on if your cold but when its hot you just stay hot.

I always felt for those folks who worked at Owens Corning Fiberglass in Fairfax Ks. I used to have to go in the once a month to monitor elevations on fan motor bases and column pads supporting the ovens. It was always hot in there summer and winter Think glass blowers shop in branson or a blacksmith shop. We would have one location under the main oven we would have to get readings on 12 columns. It took about 10 minutes it was so hot your heart raced and you could feel every pump. It was actually hard to think straight and if you touch the steel on the column it would burn. They actually had a rule that work under the oven could only go for 10 minute interval then you had to come out and into an air conditioned hut on the outside. We would come out pouring sweat and shirt and jeans soaked hitting the ac actually made you feel worse as you got sluggish and cold shivers. It was double overtime so we volunteered but that was the worst.

Now days I would imagine there is no shortage of people exceeding the posted mileage 10 mph plus.

It was 110 here in Phoenix the other day. Yesterday it was 90. I needed a light jacket.

I just finished mowing, weed eating, adding mulch to the landscaping, and power washing the deck and patio. Started at 6:30 this morning.

Hike up your skirt, gblowfish. It’s not that bad out there.
