I did not know whether to put this here or in the cooking section?
I just looked at my outside thermometer and it says 104. Heat index is higher than that. UV index is 10 of 10.
Be careful out there.
Stay hydrated and use the sun screen.

Man, every year we come back to FL in the brutal peak heat. Kelly has to go out and teach pe soon. Whew.
I come in about 1:00 and call it a day. The afternoon is off limits if it means being outside.
Yep. It be hot.
Was plugging away at my hedge trimming....1/2 hour water break....neighbor came across the street.....said he was worried about me work out side.
Offered to complete the job...but was done for today installment.
That guy works too hard...and fast.
Yeah was in the 80's....so not bad.
We hit 86 degrees with a 80% humidity today. Saturday is the only day we are supposed to get out of the 80's this week.
Afternoon sky was black as sin. But, we only got a little rain. But, not much.
80's would be nice.
Yes been that kinda hot here too and spent the last two days on a tractor brush hogging. I've been drinking more water than the tractor has diesel.
Lat time I was out at my place....went by a couple of Amish guys.....
Young no beards....cutting brush with a sickle.......Black, long pants and blue button up, long sleeve shirts.
I glad I have a diesel tractor w/bushhog......still gets hot.....but not like that.
Oh hail no!! I'm too old, too fat and smoke way too much. My hats off to them but if no brush hog then I'd be turning some goats out.
I have a trick for when it's really hot. Instead of it being hot, or the heat beating down on me...I think to myself "I am the fire."
Yeah, I have a trick too. It's called turning down the thermostat.
Set on ....On+auto+Hold temp+73.......All year around.
73?! Man, My thermo is set on 68. My theory is if you can hang beef in the house then you are almost cool enough. Almost.
I'm with y'all on the ac unfortunately my choice is suffer the cooking to get that paycheck. Maybe one day I'll actually convince the boss to get a new tractor with cab, ac, heat and am/fm stereo :).
Last night I was out working in the shop and shut things down to go inside. I walked into a wall of heat when I opened the door. The shop has AC.
It was 11:00 pm and when I brought up the weather channel to check the temps I discovered that it was still 84 degrees and 92% humidity at that time if night!
You can get heatstroke at midnight around here!
Max loves outside. But since we got back he barks when he has to go and makes it quick. Then beelines for the door. And his breed was bred to herd cattle all day in the outback. Maybe he's just a girly-boy. lol.
I understand that pets take on the personalities of their owners. :whistling:
Sometimes things are just too easy.
Have we started speaking in the first person now?
Bhohahaha....my thoughts as well....ya beat me to it.....
Pitch high in the zone.....there is the swing, ...Crack.......Got all of that one......It's up...up....It's outta here.......!!!!!1
Are you guys having fun yet?
Look at it this way, Max. We aren't laughing at you. We are laughing wi...yeah we are.
Actually I just came in....and cooling down.....Ice water
Pulling vines, getting bugs and little green sticky stuff stuck to the sweat.......
Dogs were whining to go in an hour ago.....both sleeping on the couch.
I have a trick for when it's this hot. I go outside, crack open a raw egg, and fling it up into the air. I always have a plate ready to catch it with, because when it comes back down it's fully cooked.
Don't miss.....

Is max an Aussie or a heeler? I've got an Aussie and when I put her out, shes wanting back in within 5 minutes right now. Then again inside is where she spends 90% of her life this time of year.
Raise your hand if you have a beard.
(Raises hand)
Guess what? You've got a built in swamp cooler attached to your chin...
Good lord don't soak that thing down.
No telling what you would find swimming around in there!
Max rescued us about 8 years ago in the NC mountains. We thought he was a stubby but his build and color (red) says he was docked. When people ask we reply red Australian Cattle Dog or heeler. Lord knows what a DNA test would show. We'll never have another breed.
I don't really mind Max slowing down. He was exhausting to train and socialize when he was younger. He became toddler and geezer approved. Very tolerant.
He certainly tolerates all of us at our camps.
Yea, but he gets that look on his face where you know he is thinking "stupid humans!".
Heeler stink eye.
