Ya your right , think optimistic , maybe it will come right straight up from Louisiana over your house and wipe you and your druggie maw off the face of the Earth , that would be OK with me !!!! It's coming in a Cat 3-4 , possibly a Cat 5 , people are going to get f'ed up and your being optimistic , when they dubbed you the " imbecile " , they nailed it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can tolerate the cold much better. One thing I don't like about the winter is the lack of sunshine. The gray gets old fast. We still have plenty of sunshine during the winter. Nothing like a good nap in the deer stand, cold wind blowing, sun shining in the windows, chair reclined back... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chevymec 510 Posted August 27, 2021 Still hot as a stolen catalytic converter at the junk yard right now. Literally can be standing there and feel ok, 5 minutes later sweat is pouring off me. Had a guy hand me a few packs called Sqwincher's. They are concentrated electrolytes that you tear the top of the pack open, add 6 ounces of water and drink. The grape ones are pretty good. We drink a lot of water at work all day. still doesn't seem like it is enough. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
