Guys, this may sound really rhetorical but, be very careful out there in this weather, be it work or play.

Yesterday morning by 8:10, I nearly stroked out. Coming off of a scaffold, my arms turned to jello and things quit making sense. After an hour or so, I finally got my bearings back, somewhat. Shortly after lunch, I got caught again. I wound up spending part of the day getting checked out by medical and feeling TERRIBLE!

This heat will hit you fast and can get you in real trouble! If you think you're drinking plenty of water already, drink a little more. This nearly landed me on a trip to the hospital to get IV's! I never felt it coming on, it just hits...FAST!

Whether work or fun, take plenty of breaks and drink a lot of fluids! Be careful fellas! I know that I will be a lot more cautious now for I've learned what real heat exhaustion feels like.

Tight lines!
