JohnJ Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 We just gotta deal with what we're dealt. I've always got a gallon of Luzianne and lemons in the fridge in the summer. Comes down to it, wouldn't trade what I'm used to for an unknown experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJkizak Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That heat just makes people lean and mean with grizzly skin. Our building inspector a while back was that way because he spent 3 years in the Superstition Mountains looking for the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine. I said that sounds interesting when he told me about it. He also said don't go there because you will have bullets wising past your head for sure. He also said you will get lost 100 yards away from the highway. He also said you can dig for water at the bottom of the North? side of any mountain. Take a shovel and a gun. He said there are some very bad dudes in them hills. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBCODD Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 I headed for the hills, and I made it. Pikes Peak, or bust! Actually Cheyenne mountain, but who's gonna argue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Yep the southeast is awful sometimes with the humidity. Southwest seems to be on the way to hades right now! Around here it's worst in August through September. Any of y'all ever spent time in Columbia SC in August? That town in a geographical depression is regarded as the hottest place in the Carolina's by folks that have been around a while. The air just gets stagnant in a high pressure system in the summer. Thirty years ago in a new glass office building with no hvac hanging then finishing sheetrock from 7a to 7p was the most miserable thing I've ever done in my life. On stilts sanding ceilings and 13' walls all day in a 6 or 8 story enclosed glass oven. The dust reconstituted into mud with our sweat when sanding and we had to slough it off with our knives more than once an hour. Had to actually get a three inch back out when sanding `cause I'd get mud completely covering my arms, face and neck a quarter inch thick! Later we had to scrape all the blobs of mud off the concrete `cause it was slung everywhere. I was at my fighting weight, strong and about 20 at the time. You all know that when your in good shape you sweat less, stay cooler than if you're porky. That month with the 90 mile trip twice a day did it for me. I fired my boss soon after that, took a week off and went to work somewhere else with my knives at home in the storage room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 ^^^^^ --- I don't know about that. Met you on several Klipsch occasions and never found you to be mean, actually kind of a nice fella'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted June 18, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 18, 2017 I missed the mean part, Ok I only got the skin part, I missed 2 out of 3, wish I could have had some of the lean part. Even my dermatologist said I see your past your modeling years she said don't even go check the mail without sunscreen on ! I try not to be mean, I hate controversy, BUT my wife and family says I am extremely smart azz all the time. It was nice meeting you, one of these times I am going to just relax and talk more with everyone, it's the part I miss most when instead of worrying everything is going to go well. A few or three of Carls shaken beverages could make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted June 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2017 I remember the first one I had the first year you did that, it was my first real martini, can't count the chocolate ones. You asked me if I was ready, it was kind of early and I had nothing to drink so far that day so I said yes. Well after it was done I had to take a break for a little while, I was a little suprised how I felt. It's different if you already had a couple of drinks but if that's your first it's easy to see why people come back from a martini lunch like they do. I was up on the ladder hanging up some banners this year at Rodney's and someone asked if I wanted a martini, at first I said when I get off the ladder, then after thinking about it a second I say why not. I came down enough to reach it as he passed it up, drank almost half of it and gave it back. I said yes because when I looked down there were like 5-6 people holding the ladder for me, it was the safest I have ever been on a ladder, never had that much help before while on a ladder ever, I think it was a record. EDIT; Had to come back and say Thank You Carl, that was a very nice thing for you to do for everyone, and at your own expense. I know many people enjoyed them, you could look around at almost any time and see people with a martini glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
