Way to HOT

So I come to work today thinking im going to be helping finish up some ground work for a gravell pad. To my suprise i get told were doing concrete. Ok I can handle that.

Well as we sit and wait for the people at the gate to get there crap together it is only getting hotter. It is what we call heat catigory 5 by the time we actualy start putting the mud in the hole. Concrete is only suposed to be in the truck for 1 1/2 Hours. Before we even started It had been in the trucks for about 4 hours. So its already starting to cure. BAD MOJO. We pour the first small job no prob. then we head over to the next job. Much bigger, about 200 ft of side walk. The mud is a little to dry, and the people operating the truck and us dont realy speak the same languege. So are shoot man tells the guy to stop and he puts more in. We tell them to move and they stay. All of this makes our job much harder. Put that with the unberible heat, and humidity and lets say it was a misserable day.

My clothes were so wet from sweet that it looked like i had jumped in a pool. I had to actualy change clothes and sit my boots out to dry. You could not keep watter in your body. I must have drank aobut 1.5 gallons of watter in the 2 3/4 hours we were working. Normally you whould have to use the bathroom, not today.

So lets jsut say tonight is early to bed, I think ill be in the sack around 7pm. Just another fun day for me.

So it gets HOTTER

Well as I wake up on my day off,( you know one day out of seven) I go out side and think wow it is actually getting hotter here. Now most of the time i dont mind some warm temps. I have no problem with 90s and even low 100s. But come on give me a break, its seriously like 110 to 115 all the time and I think its actually getting hotter now. Feels like 120s I mean come on. I dont think any place should have to ever have to deal with crap like that. Aperently the hi is suposed to be 113 today but its already 115. so if your hungry and got a couple eggs and no pan no woriies. Just take out side crack them on some concrete in the sun or asphalt and bang you got cooked egss.

Other then that not much else to say. I have been getting in a good work out regiment. So far have lost 12 lbs or so. Not bad for only 1 month. my goal is to drop a toatal of 40 while im here. If i stay on this regiment I should be fine. Well all stay cool i know i wont :)
