[iwashmycar]

You have one hell of a tan for a white guy

 

thanks. been hittin the pool pretty hard

[jwalter]

;damm it was hott

[Wease]

Try pouring concrete all day long. Now I know why I can eat mcdonalds everyday and still have a 6 pack. Fook me.

 

With a job like yours, you can. Come do my job and watch that go away...

Ditto. That six pack becomes a small Keg.

Fortunately, I've lost 74 pounds, so I don't have the small keg, but getting that six pack is no easy feat...

Nice! I've only got about 15-20lbs to lose, but it's that last 15-20 that's tough

Pretty close here, heat index was about 100. I don't miss construction at all, you must be doing underground?

 

Underground and an open structure. Its a sweet potato plant but there is nothing seweet about it besides the paycheck.

I used to work outside and the gear added an extra 5-10 degrees in hell like conditions sometimes. I dont miss it, well maybe sometimes.

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.

 

 

I hear you. I worked in my auction warehouse yesterday and today. No A/C or fans. Yesterday I was sweating so badly that I felt like I got in the shower for a couple of mins without drying off. My weather channel heat index issued a warning around 98 degrees yesterday. Tin roof with no breeze sucks!!

 

Today wasn't nearly as bad.

[Tractor]

Wasn't refering to you, but it happens. I love anything above freezing and below 80, I work in a t-shirt the whole time.

 

This is how I like it as well.

I work outside all day getting in and out of cars that have been baking in the sun. One of them said 170 degrees when I got in it. I also work out of my car while its parked with no A/C for ~1 hour out of the day. I keep a beach towel in the back seat to dry my face/neck off every two minutes. You could be pouring concrete or testing sun umbrellas, either way you're be dripping sweat in this weather.

Dont ever get hurt or that 6 pack turns quickly into a keg. I have the proof now attached to my front side.

[russian rocket]

used to work at Jets Pizza when i was 14-16. you guys think this shit is bad right now, try that out during a hot day with no working ac in the store. with all 3 ovens running, i have seen the temps hit 114+ before.

[Scotty2Hotty]

Wearing body armor in 130+ degree heat with NO A/C was never fun. I'm glad I'll never have to go through that again. At 7,000+ foot in elevation, we got up around 98 the other day. It'll probably only reach around 105 to 110 though.

[wnaplay1647545503]

Thats crazy shit. I dont know how you guys stop from just passing out.

[Bam]

Thats carzy shit. I dont know how you guys stop from just passing out.

 

They're ARMY TOUGH, duh.

[Scotty2Hotty]

Cooler the size of a coffin filled with ice and water. (Not to mention, it also substitutes as a place to put severed limbs if necessary.) The worst had to be 6+ hour patrols, on top of 48+ hour missions sitting in a M2 Bradley with nothing but the heat off the 903ci Cummins V8 on top of the scorching sun.

 

Still have to admit, heavy labor in 90 degree heat is also the fucking suck.
