Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I grew up in a small town, 700 people, in NW Missouri. There was a house across the street from my Grandparents that had about a dozen mature walnut trees.............all the squirrels in that area were black............
My ex father in law used to catch them, spray paint them bright orange and bright green, and then release them down at the railyard where he worked. He got a kick outta hearing coworkers talk about bright colored squirrels running around.

Dude was the most racist old man Ive ever met. Fuckers best friend was an old black guy. They'd sit and try to one up each other on race jokes. Craziest shit ive ever seen. Guess how many people got offended....none!

Picture of the Rio Grande by Stoney Pass. The picture was taken from where we camped on our fly fishing trip a couple of weeks ago in the San Juan's. Wayne Suggs who is a good friend an fishing buddy took the picture and is an incredible photographer. His catalogue is amazing and can be found on https://www.waynesuggsphotography.com/

After living and running in the “air you can wear“ heat & humidity in Arkansas , this mornings run in the 60’s with a light rain felt awesome !! 6 miles felt like 6 , not 10 !
🍻

I don't know how anyone can make it in those conditions. I have been in East Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi summer heat but for only a few days in each. I was wondering if I would make it out alive each time or just melt into a puddle before getting gone.

I've lived for months in 110 -120 degrees. With hydration, I could run eight plus miles. These days a humid 90 and moderate exertion drives my BP into the basement.

I worked a year in a gas plant and spent many a summer day in the compressor building. It was just a large tin building containing five large gas engines powering five compressors each lined up end to end down the length of it. 130 degrees was common in summer. We got a fifteen minute break morning and afternoon but the break pen was out in direct sunshine although it seemed cool when we first walked out there. The building had water fountains in it but it was not cooled. Some how it seemed cool compared to the inside of that torture shed. Working up on the catwalks was even hotter and crawling under a compressor to change a bad valve was the worst there was with barely enough room to work off a creeper and you were surround by the compressors and engine plus the floor was steel. We shut them down but didn't wait for a cool down. Just take it out of service, do the repair, and get it back on line. A just cooked noodle had nothing on any of us at the end of one of those days. I was also the welder for anything that could be fabricated and carried out into the plant. The welding shop was a small tin building joined onto the side of a large tin building. It only had a door so no air flow except for cracks on the corners and where it joined the other building. It was hot in the summer but nothing like the compressor building. I didn't think I had any weight to lose but found out I did as I weighed less at the end of that year than I did at the start.

Amazing what you can endure when young. I don't even want to open my attic door in August.

Experienced a similar situation in my younger days. Spent three day replacing a crosshead and piston in a quintaplex injection pump in Aneth, UT. The pumps were located in a metal building and were powered huge IR gas driven engines. The fluid head weighed about 5K and thankfully there was a bridge crane in the building. Middle of summer and probably 120 degrees plus inside. We would strip down to our underwear and put on coveralls to work and by the end of the day they were white from perspiration.
