About 20 years ago, I was working on an industrial site, jeans, dark colored Tshirt, steel toes and hardhat, on asphalt. We had to pour 8yds of concrete on a retaining wall. The idiot PM decided that we needed to wheelbarrow that up an incline at 2:00 in the afternoon when it was 98 degrees. My help was two 65yo men. With concrete in that heat, we didn't have time for water breaks. We got about 3yds in and were in trouble. The main superintendent called and I told him what was going on. He sent more help immediately. That evening when I headed home I stopped to get a Gatorade and drank it, when I stepped out of my truck I puked it up immediately. I was beyond sweating, cramping and prickly all over. The next thing I remember was Emily standing over me as I lay on the floor locked up. Heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heat something and serious dehydration. I had seized up and collapsed. Since then, I can go most days if I start early in the morning and build into it through the day but can't start outside in the heat of the day.
Hot is hot, just be careful in it.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
