Same here as I have emphysema so I avoid the heat and humidity.
Buddy that I fish with was talking about how screwed up the weather has been this year as all spring was Monsoon season raining constantly and as soon as the rain quit heat and humidity like we usually only have for a few weeks in August.
Told him the way it was looking this year maybe we would get to go by the 1st of October. The 7 day weather forecast is calling for 90 and above still every day for the upcoming week.
I don't miss the hay fields one bit. A friend and I put up 10,000 bales of hay every summer to pay our way to college. His dad had a hay field he wasn't using and my dad had the equipment. We baled it, put in the barn and sold it.Quote:

It’s not anything to play around with. During my time there there were several westerners death due to heat. In my time there I was in heat trouble only 2 times....very lucky I survived those 2 times. Up until a year or so back the heat didn’t really bother me....but now at 67 it’s very hard to take. Found out in Saudi when you get old best to not be out in the heat....at least that’s how they do it...and they been living in the heat for 1000 years....or more.
