You guys are being all too kind, let's face it........ the whole damn State seems to be on fire. Just wait until August gets all fired up, what doesn't start naturally, the little
"Adam Henry" fire bugs will take care of.

105* and 90% humidity. And if that's not enough, my second job had us welding structural steel all week on a concrete slab, no shade. God came down and slapped us in the mouth with a HOT sandwich, and followed it with a bucket of hot to wash it down.

Holy cow! I'm not the only one who has a 97 PSD and a Cobra. Maybe i'm not as weird as they say??

Back on topic though, Louisiana has been bumping around 95-98 where I am at, and the humidity is through the roof. I start work around 6 AM so we can try to beat the heat. Autumn sure sounds nice right now......
