Me and Oscar are getting some work in every evening and he’s learned to love his pool. Supposed to be 110 on Saturday…

Also trying to get on local lakes for some white bass while the shad are boiling.

Working outside, lost 15lbs hoping for 5 more by October.

Well, I guess it's the dog days of summer! Hot, sometimes muggy, and just lazy days. Of course, out west we are more active in the outdoors than a lot of other areas, but it has been hotter than hell! What are you people doing during these days to pass time, train, or gear up for the upcoming hunting seasons? mtgreg

I have been working in that crap… I don’t like the heat, and live on the coast, so I’m not used to it either, and it’s been over 100 almost every day for the past 3 weeks where I have been working…

Archery season is coming up, and my long commute and heat is cramping my style… my sig line for a long time was “I have never had a job I wasn’t willing to quit in September” and I’m proving I ain’t joking

I was recently told my options coming up, and I didn’t care for them, but I have a feeling they are going to magically find work for me close to home… I’m hoping they don’t

I’m leaving on good terms, that option will still be there if I want it, but it’s the first job I have had that wasn’t on the ocean, and I think that’s pretty much where I belong

Been a pretty useless summer to me, but it’s almost over, and can’t freaking wait to be packing my bow around the coastal mountains and resetting my sanity

Sometimes in life, we have to live through some suck to reset our perspective.

Mid 60’s here at home, and the wife and I will be fishing the next 2 mornings and hunting bear the next 2 evenings… then back across the state Sunday night back into the heat… supposed to be 107 Monday, can’t wait to work on my farmers tan some more

Bucking hay without a shirt??? Brave man there. I get itchy enough with a long sleeve shirt on.

I do most of my work in the heat of the day. That's why warm Septembers for elk don't bother me at all, and I welcome them. Love it.

Screw that!!! Bucked bales one time with my shirt off, NEVER AGAIN!

Don't care if it's 105 the shirt stays on, especially with alfalfa!

Building a shop, starting a house, hanging out with the fam and a few short trips here and there.

Az. Colorado rive. If this isn't hot, it will do until hot gets here.

Triple digits, floating showers to get ready for tile. New construction, no A/C..... Livin the dream one nightmare at a time

I shut down work the past week, start back up some tomorrow.

 

[Z71&Gun]

Killing black bears! The mosquitos are worse than the heat. After a 5 day hunt, I'm lumpier than grandma's mashed potatoes.

 

[mtgreg]

Ouch!

23% RH would be amazing. Luckily, it’s only 58% RH right now. I may have to get my jacket out.

94, 51% RH, heat index 103. Good thing is I get to stand over grill at figure 8 races to raise money for my daughter's class at 5.

Fighting house fires is rough this time of year, also.

When it gets this hot, we Take the dogs to water, and fill the freezer with sockeye.
