Your camp has a whole new meaning.

Too hot to fish, camp, mow the yard or do anything but drink a cold beer.

Your clients should be used to it. "YOU" CAN'T leave.

Guys, it is for sure hot. But have we all forgotten that by this time last year we had already had almost 2 months of this kind of weather compared to this year's 2 weeks, or so? Grandfield had 87 days of triple digit temps last year.

I don't like it, but I've sure seen worse. Take heart; the days are getting shorter and there's a potential hurricane headed for Galveston.

And let's not forget the troops over seas. It's hot here but our high temp for the day is hit at 10am in Qatar!

Sometimes, contemplating outside activities in the heat is worse than just getting outside and doing them. I drug my feet this morning, drank a second cup of coffee and surfed OSA classifieds before finally going for a run at 10:45. When I left- 100 deg, 50 minutes later I returned and it was 103. I chugged 2 quarts of Gatoraid and headed out to my barn to lift weights. With the big doors open at both ends, there's a bit of a breeze but it's still 100+ deg inside.

The point is not about the guy out in Pioneer that's too dumb to know when it's too hot to exercise outside, but that if I/ y'all can commit to being soaked with sweat and dust, it's not so bad outside. It actually sucks worse to go somewhere all dressed up and deal with the hot car and scorching parking lots.

I found out I'm headed to the NE for three weeks. Just looked, and the temps there are awesome. 70's-80's Happy dance!

Funny you mention this, Ronny. I really, really don't like OK summers but I got to thinking that during the Dust Bowl, our grandparents went through this kind of weather and didn't have a clue that air conditioning would ever be invented. I think about what it must have been like to try to sleep at night in the heat while storms blew dust everywhere. My grandma said they hung oil-soaked canvas over the windows to trap the dust before it made it inside.

When I think about the things my grandparents and great-grandparents endured it makes me realize how good we have it and how tough those people were.
