I have to agree with Dick on this one. I have worked outdoors so long, I don't know if I could work inside again!

The humidity was rediculous today.. I went outside for 2 minutes to get the dimmer switch plate up, and I was drenched in sweat. It was like I walked through the door into a hot tub. ;P Stupid Florida..

For the record folks.... The "Shop" came after many hard years of hard work in my business and driveway wrenching.

I do indeed know what "topping" a knuckle feels like in the in the outside elements. I appreciate what you do because I've done it.

God Bless you guys that thrash out in the weather....
