    Easy I just wanted to show respect to those that have died due to this heatwave.

    Been very hot and humid here also but at least we are use to it and are prepared for it.
    Not to mention the heat makes my work, to provide for my family. Without the stifling heat I would go hungry!



    Say does that make me a sweat hog?

    just posted this right when I was typing a reply...

    I am all up for heat and hard work..I wont shy away from it but this is getting out of hand. This heat will kill someone in hours...its not worth it.

    I am doing inside work only for right now....doing small brake down an boxing stuff up where there is cold air to keep from getting over heated.

    When you are working outside in this heat..its easy to forget how long you been working an how hard you been working.

    Very true your words.

    I am a different breed I guess, I am an "attic rat" I am able to crawl around in 140 degree temps with no air flow. My work partner can not believe I am able to work in such temperatures and hardly break a sweat.
