I don't want to hear about it - this is what my kids did yesterday - 120 degrees.

"Hotter that Molly and hubby's house." No central A/C.

I could not handle that.

Hottest I think I ever experienced was in HS putting up square hay bales (each were 60 to 90lbs IIRC) in my Uncle's dairy barn. On the plus side, I wasn't in the sun. On the downside, there was no ventilation and the air was probably 10% dust.

I'd get out of that barn and the outside 95 degree heat felt like AC. I was a darker shade due to dust all over me.. And that rotten egg smelling well-water from a garden hose tasted great.

I really liked doing that work. Made me tough and mean for the upcoming football season where we put the whoopass on you Saukees.

So, I was about to say "hotter than my balls while putting up hay etc" but I don't think it is -----yet.

haha.

I am very familiar with putting up hay and straw. We used to fill our dairy barn. I'm not sure I ever counted but someone guessed about 10k bales. We'd always get a crew up to do ours and bale for the neighbors too. We'd usually start around Memorial Day. Get a week or two off in June before wheat when we'd switch to straw for a week or two, then around the forth of July we'd get the second cutting of hay. Then usually one more around Labor Day. I was definitely in better shape those days. Unloading at the barn was definitely the worst but those were still fun times. We made pretty good money too for kids. Four or five of us could put up some serious bales in a days time.

Or "hotter than a two-peckered billy goat."

I'm still partial to "hotter than Satan's crotch" and "sweating like a hooker in church."

Hotter than yo mama

My reaction to free Cards tix this past weekend...

I'm very grateful that I don't have to play softball tonight with the weather forecast. Last night wasn't bad and tomorrow shouldn't be terrible either. I got lucky.
