HOT Today

[Mooseherder]

It's 96 degrees and I have been jumping in and out of the pool while trying to complete an outside project.
It's so hot I saw a Dog chasing a Rabbit and they was both walking. :D

paul case, ash broke off up about 10' and was splintery. The red oak was in neighbors yard and the wind broke the top out of it up about 25'. The wind blew it into my ash tree and caused it to break off. The red oat trunk is still standing, has at least 12' or more of good in it. Must be about 28" at the butt. Will see if neighbor will let me cut it up. bg

now that might make it worth cleanin up all that mess .pc

That is too funny...  If you were here they both would probably be swimming in that pool with you!  Even the bears up north are doing it!

It was HOT today, yeah.  I don't know what the thermometer said, but I surely was proud of my umbrella.  My helper was suffering.

It was mid 50's here and cold, cold rain. Now, Wednesday was about 75 degrees and sunshine. As luck and gusto would have it, I got my pay cut by Thursday so I never had to work in that wet stuff. ;D

Sun returns on Monday and mid 50's for temp. Be making lotsa brush for sure. ;D

Moose season is on now from Thursday until Saturday. We had to move to a new work site yesterday and there was a bunch of hunters we had to let down with bad news. No hunting on our work site, so we allowed them until 7:30 am, just after daylight, to have a chance at a moose. Well, while we were waiting for them we saw that their moose had already passed by, leaving tracks on the road as big as a work horse.  ;) ;D

101.2° here today in the shade.         This is late September ???  I came home from the office early hoping to fix some fences but it was just to hot and dusty to work outside.   Haven't seen any rain in so long I'd have trouble recognizing it when it does come.   Dust (dirt) around the mill shed and log yard is 6" deep and kicks up into clouds just walking through it.

I have a milling job tomorrow at a customer site and it's going to be in the high 90's.  :(

??? We only had low 90's today in SC.

I thought I'd bump this topic. With the heat wave that sitting over the South I'm surprised this hasn't been posted on recently. I've had 107 here the couple days. 

In Louisiana we say we have two seasons: Hot and Wet. We're in the "Hot" at the moment. Burn ban in effect for months.

I was thinking about this thread today while cooking dinner on my brick pit out back.
It was stinking hot here but you guys had it worse.  That is scary to think about. 
Sure wish we could be on the north end right about now.  We are in the heavy afternoon rain cycle to cool things off then the sun comes out and it is some hot and humid.
Work keeps piling up around here and nothing is getting done because it's too nice in da AC. :

[Magicman]

I'm glad that I'm off from sawing for a few days.  Yesterday my underwear was wet with sweat by 10:00 AM.  I was needing some of those airport diapers.  ;D :D

[beenthere]

WAY too much info!   ;)

Made it up to 75 today, with dew point at 53°, and a light breeze blowing. Just like one of the southern winter days. S'pose to be above 90 for a few days over the weekend. I couldn't take the southern heat. I'd melt like MM

[ScottAR]

Averaging 100-101 the last few days... 60% humidity   It's a bit warm yes...

[Coon]

Magicman, don't you mean Depends?  ;)  :D   Also, Happy Birthday Magic.

Heck in that southern heat I would melt and be just a mere grease spot next to the mill. 

[pyrocasto]

Spent the day in Charleston, SC. 100 degree temps at 100% humidity. Radio said heat index was 115. Really really sucked.

[WildDog]

Happy Birthday MM

Minus 16 deg celcius at the house here Tuesday, we could do with some of that heat.

In my younger days, I spend just a few days on the water front in Charteston with that kind of heat.  Man did it sucX.  Almost as bad as the water front in Kingsbay, Ga - about 40 miles north of Jacksonville, FL.  But, the worst I was ever in, was loading stores onto a submarine in Guam.  Out in the sun, standing on a black hull with the actual air temps around 103.  Talk about HOT and 100% humidity.  Man was it UGLY!!!!!!!!!!  Any of you guys ever done very physical work in Guam?  Maybe some of you Air Forces guys at Anderson?

I'd rather cut with the temp around zero F than 100 and humid.Of course I don't cut in ether extreme.Theirs enough comfy days to mill,good time to grind bands in a cool cellar.Frank C.

Bruce,

I feel like I have been working on that submarine in Guam the last few days.  Brutal.

[LOGDOG]

Happy Birthday Magicman. 

Yep, even the breeze is hot .... when there is a breeze. Going from the house at 72 degrees out into the 100+ is like hitting a wall. I've got a big fox squirrel that camps outside our front door in a big white oak . He crawls up there and literally drapes himself over his favorite limb and just hangs there with his arms and legs hanging out in this heat. He looks pitiful. I'll have to snap a picture of him. So everyday I've been taking him a bowl of fresh, cold water out there and putting it at the base of the tree. Sometimes I even put ice cubes in it for good measure. Funny thing, I was out the other day working in the yard and he had come down the base of the tree unbeknownst to me. As I approached the tree, the flash of his tail going around the other side caught my eye. So I peak around and there's his tail and butt. 4 different times I was able to pet that squirrel! He's either real sluggish or he's becoming tame. Pretty cool.

Last Thursday, we were finishing up a mobile sawjob and boy it was hot!

I had a thermometer on the back of the truck and at 2:00 PM it was reading 120°F.

I had another thermometer sitting on the seat in the cab where it was shaded and that one was reading 90°F.

My favorite sawing temperature is 45-65°.

Over the past few years, the sun has really gotten stronger and hotter.

This helps.   :

Magic, that there is some good stuff, use it all the time.

[SwampDonkey]

Magic, I'll always remember you as the "Gold Bond pusher". ;D

Have a good one. 

I wonder if it works on spruce and fir needles when in your garments. Those needles can make certain areas sore. :D
Of course, if I was half way smart I would put a cape on the back of the hardhat. ;)

[LOGDOG]

That Gold Bond really is some good stuff. I even put it in my Bassethounds armpits in the summer. We call it "Code Blue" ...can't remember how it got that nickname. We say Code Blue and she rolls over to get dusted. Works like a charm.
