Re: How do you do it in the south???
1900, Outside, 94*, humid. 1x4's to cut down(recyled fence pickets). Lay boards on saw horses to measure. Why the fuck are my balls sticking to my leg? Lay out the three cut lines and pencil in with teh new carpenter's square. Damn, is that sweat rolling down the crack of my ass? Make three cuts, move boards. Lay out two 4' pieces for the planter box, and get ten 23" pieves to make the sides. Dang, t-shirt wet, sticking to my arms, sweat dropping into my shades...is it really this humid and hot? Note haze throughout the hills. Lay out and square then screw pickets, then plug in the saw. Jeez, hande is slick. Put on gloves for grip, make long cut down bottom to even out base of pickets for side of flower box.
Wipe brow, remove gloves, pull nut sac off leg back to center, wipe face with wet shirt. Fuck it's hot!
I will say this though; being hot is not as bad as being wicked cold. I'll take it and smile because the other day it was a 104* heat index and that was freakin HOT! It doesn't matter, humidity at 100% in NC was miserable, dry heat at 106* in Nor-Cal, or Korea, or A-Stan was miserable. Walking through an oven is still hot. Moist heat, Dry Heat same same. By the time your clothes are soaked through, and the sac is stuck to the leg, you're basically screwed.
I still have to wonder though why this doesn't seem to affect women. They go out in it, love it, and come into a 75* house with the AC on and grab a blanket on the couch. Strange
