HUMIDITY

[bucksnbears]

Heat stroke is no joke!! I was hauling square bales in my teens and being indestractable at that age, i just sucked it up and kept throwing bales. It was over ninety degrees and I didn’t have enough water with me. When the dizziness and dry heaves hit me it was over. that was over 30 years ago and to this day I can’t take heat. Once I start sweating hard I need to cool off quick. it seems like it’s a life long affliction.

Yep, 80* and humid, I'm done.

it is! Once you get it you’re more susceptible.

101 today and talking the same for tomorrow ugh, mother nature decided to make up the difference in a few days compared to the heat we dealt with last year.
Update weatherunderground said 101

AC decoded to ahit the bed today. Noon time, creeping up but blamed it on oven. Continued up. Settled in at 81. Hopefully it's a $300 15 minute fix tomorrow.

This is not an uncommon experience. Many who experience something on the Heat Injury scale have a distinct sensitivity to similar conditions afterwards. I've been on the edge a few times, and even in my anecdotal observations I know I am more sensitive to the extremes.

Drove from Devils Lake to Dickinson today. Stepped out of the pickup to fuel up and my eyeballs (not glasses) fogged over.

How would you like to be a Black Angus this week. LB

And the poor buggers crowd into a tight herd to protect from flies. I always felt sorry for the ones without shade. Ours spread out and had to eat around trees , then laid in the shade during the day

There is about 50 of them standing in the corner of the pasture by my place. I’m thinking by the end of the day after 3 days of this shit medium rare steaks will be had. I moved my critters this morning so they can at least have some shade, those black cows beside me are screwed. No a tree in site.

I’m ready for cool frosty mornings the older I get the less I like summer. Give me -20 over this shit

I can dress for the cold, you can't dress for the heat.

Mine crowded into a corner near trees to good last night. They broke the corner post off. Got a call this morning at 730 am my cows are out. Put them back in and drove the fence, took awhile to figure out where they got out. Then dig the stub out, replace post, rebuild brace, and tighten wires. No one should have to sweat like that, that early in the day. While I was working I watched them stand in the shade and then head over to the waterhole and a nearby slough, drink, then head back to shade.
Had to quit cutting tonight about 945pm, Windows were so fogged up with condesation from The AC I couldn't see anymore. Auto steer kept me going for awhile, but was afraid I'd drive into a low spot full of water and get stuck.
