Re: [BaadAssGremlins] High Heat, Personal Business & Some Interior Progress

[<eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doc, you please watch yourself out there. Last week here, the whole week, it 
was in the high 90's with high humidity, just our usual Houston summer. I 
let the boys out back to play, and I came in to check emails real quick. 
There were two young men working on the house across the street, painting 
it, in the heat. Thay have been working on it now for about 3 weeks, really 
looks nice. This is a photo I took of it when we had SNOWFALL thsi apst 
Christmas Eve here in Houston, never happened before!

To read the whole story and look at some of my cars with, uh, snow on them, 
go to www.google.com and search for 'houston snowfall' and my link comes up.

Anyhows, I hear this 'uuuuhhhhhh' and looked out the window and saw this 
thin fellow on the roof, collaspe, and fall off the damned roof, so I 
grabbed my remote phone and went outside, his painting partner was already 
holding him up, seems he hit the ladder, then bricks in garden, on the way 
down, his face bloodied up, I called 911 quickly. They got over here in less 
than 5 minutes, he was now sitting up, but still did not know where he was, 
what day it was, whose house he was at, nor how many fingers any of us was 
holding up. The ambulance took him away, and he was in the hospital for two 
days. He is back at work now, but the heat took him out, almost a heat 
stroke! Young man, about 45 and in perfect health! All the tests came back 
negative, and now they take more breaks and lots of Gatorade.

Speaking of Gatorade, when I go to the pick a parts in summer here, I 
measure how HOT it is two ways: one, I have a ECKO oven thermometer in my 
toolbox, and not unusual to be pulling a radio, or chrome, or other parts 
(some will blister you) off a car and see it hit 140 degrees. I also drink 
massive amounts of Gatorade, and the record is SIX QUARTS without having to 
pee one time, it all sweated out!

So Doc, ya'll be careful out there on the AMCs in summer!
