BrianZ06 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Working outside does have its downside on days like this for outside workers. My Lazer Zero turn has been down this week so I had to go old school with my walkbehinds. I have not sweated this much in a long time but I guess I can still tough it out if I made it thru the day. Good news though I fixed my rider when I got home. Anyone else work outside for a living ? My truck mirror said 95 at one time today.

Cordell Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 That sucks dude. I work in a shop with little air movement, so I know what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 inside a shop would not be much better I suppose on a day like this and to add to the drama my home ac is down its good thing there is a brease out right now or I would be at a shopping mall,lol. Been busting my but to get everything done on schedule this week so I have saturday off. Sitting on a 60" zero turn mower has spoiled me I guess.

I hate people who don't drop their cars off in this kind of weather so it can cool off some before I have to work on it. I'm not looking forward to the rest of the summer if it's this hot already.

I can't take heat at all. I can sit outside in sub zero temps, but heat kills me. Car wise, I had no choice. Came from the office and had to wait on it.

Dave1647545494 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I went outside to smoke a cig today felt how hot it was and decided I rather skip the smoke and stay inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I dont usually turn the ac on in my work truck but today I did. I am beat. If you are not use to the heat days like this could take you out. I have always been outside working. The key to it is to start early and end early if you can.
