of all the days to work outside...
well i happened to pick today to wire up my compressor, one of the hottest days of the summer so far. this sucks. So far i drilled a hole through my cinderblock garage wall, ran pcv conduit through that and down, now i gotta dig a 40ft, 18" deep trench around the back of my house, drop in the conduit and wiring(whole backyard is in direct sun), then go inside a lower crawl space run the wiring inside, then 35' through my basement across the ceiling to the main box... ugh right now my shirt is already soaked, eh at least i'll loose a few pounds today, haha. i'll post pics of the job later maybe

Damn man, this weather is insane. All I did was clean my garage and jockey the cars around, and I'm boiling. Can't wait to work in the store later; back room is 100+, and the coolers are a nice chilly 40. That's a helluva temperature change when you're sweating!

The AC broke at my office, and our windows don't open! People have been getting sick (nice smell now in the air), and for some reason, all the top management isn't here...

i was outside all day and i loved it
i am a much bigger fan of cold than hot, but i hate recycled inside air the most. besides, i could use sweating off a few dozen pounds.

I made a kamakazi run into NYC for a suprise lunch with the GF. I don't think I have sweated that bad once this summer. My shirt was stuck to my back when I finally got out of my car!

Played volleyball from 6:15 to 8:30 yesterday. Lots of sweat and lots of sand sticking to the sweat! It wouldn't have been too bad if there was just a little breeze blowing but there wasn't. I plan on doing nothing after work today but I have a bad feeling I'll be working on the SS396 because I just can't sit around unless I have a cigar and a beer and another beer and another beer...

In your heat induced delirium Jeff, don't grab the sawzall when you really need a screw driver. The right tool for the right job!
