Glad I had a bunch of paperwork and courthouse research to do today.

The "F" in the title can be either Fahrenheit or another F word depending if you like extremely hot temps.

Did we (Texas) annex Kentucky? I thought it only got that hot here in Texas or Death Valley.

Code Orange air quality alert with a heat index of 105.

but, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity."

BS - it's the heat!

luckily my pastey white arse sits in an office all day. my forecast - 76 degrees and fluorescent.

I was only out part of the day, and it was slow going, HOT and HUMID in Pulaski, VA. Probably 95° Actual /100°+ Heat Index...

I projectile vomited a gallon of water at some point about 2pm, and then decided it was time to call it a day. I'm glad I wasn't standing in front of the client. Because that is no way to impress a client... not even in Pulaski, VA.

Carl, be really careful with that type of heat in the field. But you know that...

Move to the desert - it's a "dry heat".... (yea right - hot is hot and I don't care who ya are)

On the other hand, there's enough surveyors around here. Find some shade and be safe. 😛

Thanks Brad.

Thanks Brad, and I do know... I just chugged too much of the icy cold water because it was soooooo gooooood... It came back up cool too, which is much more comfortable than the option...

I had somebody near at all times down in "the bottom". But, he went on back to the house when we scaled the hill to the chariot. I then proceeded to intake way too much, too quickly... I could feel TDD laughing at me when I was done.

Yeah, I cross sectioned a borrow pit this morning before 7, and gotta set a mile of slope stakes tomorrow. I was toasting on the boat over the weekend thinking how stupid it was to be sitting out there in the sun, but I jumped in the water and got over it. Used to haul hay in this kind of weather and it didn't bother me, probably would now.

The first person who invents a way to "unread" something on the internet is going to be a very wealthy man.

Wimps! We were out on a couple of elevation certificate jobs this afternoon. It was only 102. Vehicle thermometer said it was 107, but, it wasn't that hot.

My field/office schedule doesn't make much sense. Last week I was out in heat somewhere around 100.

This week I'm doing the office part (same project) and we are having highs of 80. 80 is pretty unusual for the central valley in July.
