This is a farm, so I work 365. I've taken two half days off in the last six years outside of days my back is spasming. We don't have air conditioning in either the cabin or the rides, so I just adapt gradually with the seasons. MY GF and I seem to be able to handle whatever the weather is here better than anyone else on the farm, they all have air condo to go hide in, so outside I notice they all seem to really suffer if it is excessively hot and humid and or cold.. I think it wusses ya out some.
I mean, I ain't stupid about it, try to find shade to work in, etc, drink a lot of fruit juices and water and at home we have some window fans..but that's it.
Just came in from splitting a ton of wood, about seven wheelbarrow fulls. If I have to cut, I cut, and etc. Moms nature don't ask my permission to drop branches on fencelines, or stop weeds growing, any of that. Did a lot of string trimming today and gardening, and this evening I go back out to mow, and in between I try to keep machinery running. Got no choice, stuff has to be done.+----------- I make one exception to working outside, and that is active thunderstorms,. got nailed by lightning before and lived through it, knocks the macho out of you fast and you realize ain't no job nor sum of money worth it, to chance it I mean. I told my current boss when I hired on I slap refuse to work during lightning/t storms and if that wasn't acceptable I would just move on. Kinda hard to argue with a guy who got hit by lightning and lived to tell about it...
One thing I did notice over the years though, back to the heat and humidity, and not to sound too goody goody or anything, but I *really* used to like and drink "bavarian breakfast juice"...too much..so I quit. Not during the day or at work, after work, but still, it started to get outta control, so just stopped. Since then I can handle the heat just megaloads better. Took me around six months to really truly get sober. Its amazing how much you..hard to describe it... keep "waking up" when you quit drinking. You *think* you are sober the day after drinking, but your brain has been hard wired one way and it takes a long time to get wired a different way. Kinda neat, wish I had done that thirty years earlier. FWIW.
Oh man, almost forgot! Home made gazpacho. Best stuff to drink to beat the heat. No idea why it works, but it does.
