Beating the heat
Folks . . . its been hot here. I think our entire area has been at 90F+ for days & sometimes hotter. I had to do some church grounds work today & it ran longer than expected. There was a little grass to be mowed, sidewalks edged, walkways blown off & a little hedge work. I thought it would take about an hour, maybe a little more. My start was late as the weed eater would not start & necessitated a 20 minute or so repair; my arrival time was now after 10 AM. The work was more involved, lots of weed whacking & an overgrown hedge. It was after 12PM & about 95F when I finished. My clothes were soaked with perspiration. The short of it is that a quick stripping off of the clothes came moments after arriving home, a quick rinse & into the pool I went. That was my beating the heat & it was wonderful. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Similar, except for the clothes part. I've been doing a lot of mowing but if it involves getting dressed..... it ain't gonna happen. That's why my backyard looks so much better than the front. It's actually kind of amazing to me how much heat I can stand if I don't trap it against me with soggy clothes. Granted walking/standing under a cool outdoor shower now and then and then cooling from the inside out by slugging down ice water and Gatorade helps quite a bit. Then it's back to the mowing or whatever. Just doesn't seem so much like work when you're naked.
Been pretty dang hot here, I now mow early or late, so I can do it nude. Got a skin dr appointment and trying to avoid getting fussed at, well and I got tired of getting cut on! I cant stand having what air thats moving blocked by fabric, just silly in my mind.
Once its after 9 or so I go to the barn and work on stuff in front of the big fan. Beer :30 too! Just piddling on the numerous things that need attention around a home place. Then a quick rinse with the hose/shower and pool time!
Oh, OldArmyGuy,,, you got some Nice toys!!
