I've been in a fog the last few days...
I put shade cloth over part of the pig pens, tilled part of the garden and planted a lb of Mississippi purple Hull peas. At least it was cloudy for most of the day but it's humid as all get out.
Damn dude! Be careful! Take it from someone who didn't pay attention to her body and wound up in the ER in my 20s. It was NOT fun and it took me YEARS to get to where I didn't start puking every time it was warm enough to make me sweet. And yeah, THOSE headaches are BRUTAL. I'd rather bail 20 fields of hay than do "women's work" so I was crushed when the old ranchers wouldn't let me go out with them anymore. Every once in a while I'd get an afternoon it but I think that was just because they could see I was about to lose my mind listening to "girl talk" in the kitchen.
1977 was my first year out. I thought I was in tall cotton! I don't even remember which ranch I worked at -- somewhere within an hour or so of Tishomingo because me and 10 or so guys from the dorm would meet up at my apartment, drive out, work our asses off, then drive home. We'd stop at Sonic on Main Street, buy 10 of everything on the menu, take it back to my place and eat every single bit of it. Empty the fridge of beer, shower, pass out and do it all over again the next day. We moved around the counties but I couldn't tell you where.
We would draw straws to see who had to get up early enough to go to the grocery store and buy enough beer to fill the fridge before we left that morning. It was a good time to be a kid ...

I hear ya.
My mind does not know that my body is old and out of shape LOL
I remember working construction in 105 temps during the week, and loading hay on the weekends for my brother-n-law. The hay was bad enough but the alfalfa was a killer on the heat.
right there with ya i worked a lot of terrible summers as a carpenter!
It was hot as hello today.. now it looks like a tornado
Right??!?!? I run into (or meet up with) you kids nowadays and I'm like "Whoa!! What happened?? You got OLD!" And then I realize that you guys are now the age I was when I met y'all in the first place.
I'm ancient now!

LOL old farts. I was thinking about Paul the other day when I had the LRB out of the safe, I bet he would have loved that rifle as much as he loved M14s.
I remember the sundays I would drive up to H&H to shoot, you folks would be there, LOL good times. God that was what 23 or so years ago.
