Studded snow tires for 10 months of the year courtesy of the Air Force in Wyoming. What heat?

Global warming starts in Texas during the summer!

Drink more water so your sweat aint so salty
Sit down when ever you can in shade
Pocket pistols like Seecamps & J frame Smiths

It ain't even gotten hot yet! We had a heat index of 108 today.

August = hotter than the hinges of hell.
September = just a tad hotter.

But on the bright side, the dumb women will be wearing very little clothing.
... We won't see the smart women out and about until November.

I lived upstate NY for a third of my life, moved to TX in 2000. I'll take the heat over cold, one winter we had snow from Thanksgiving to Easter. -24° was not uncommon. Snowblower duty twice a day. I'm older now and I believe thin skinned so I like the heat. I mow my grass when it's 90°.

s55,

That's the spirit!

I'm sawing up firewood, but I cheat, I do it in the shade...

I smile at the fact there is one yard machine I'll never have to own, a snow-blower!

Funny story, some years ago, I put my boat up for sale or trade on Craigslist. Got an email from a guy that wanted to trade a snow-blower for my boat. I just laughed! I did end up trading it for a riding mower though.

I think there is a snowblower like the Roomba. I know there is a lawnmower like the Roomba.

Suggestions?

The same road that brought you this heat and take you back to where you came from.!!

More and more of those robot-mowers coming on the market.

I learned when in AZ start your day at 4:am end it at 9-10:00 am
If you need more time then 6:00pm till 0 dark thirty is good. Time change will fvck this all up you'll have to re adjust. Good luck!

I moved here because it was supposed to be warm. Finally...

Also noting where I grew up we started predawn, took off from 1 to 6 and got going again until 10. Standard practice for half the world.

During the summer, when it gets really hot, my father does things outside in the early morning up to about 11:00 am, and then after the sun goes down.

Many times, I do most of my mowing in the later evening, and after dark. That's why I mounted LED lights on my mower.

When I worked in DC (98*, 98% humidity from June thru September) I carried a starvel Beretta. Stainless steel still needs cleaned and oiled every few days, but everything else just RUSTS!

"... workin' on a night mow..." I can see it.

Even stainless steel will rust. Just takes longer for it to happen, but it does happen. The higher the content of Chromium the longer it takes.
