The Czickness XXXV.....Masks masks masks....Arrgh

[Hoosier45]

Spent my life out in this element. Gets rougher the older I get and yeah I am a sweat ball mess.....

At least you weren't in an attic or on a roof like you might have been in years past.

The masks don't help when it's hot.

The humidity makes the outside suck today

A big DITTO to both of these posts !

Factories were hot today, and will be so tomorrow. Found myself rinsing down with isopropyl alcohol at lunch to get rid of the smell.

I figure that when it's too hot for TT to venture out and catch a monster bass ..... you KNOW it's too hot !

Have you been doing any shooting lately, my tall friend ?

It was brutal out there amongst the cornfields. Just another day in paradise.

Just another day closer to paradise.

That’s working days, minus vacation and stuff. That gets me to the middle of October.

Unfortunately, no. Hopefully soon.

Figured I wouldn't wait. This seemed to fit my needs:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F5UOYW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For the price, I went ahead and ordered one of these out of curiosity and it arrived today. Too hot to give a good test but I did try it out briefly set up as I'd use it and a couple of dry fires.

The legs and braces are about what I expected but I think they should hold up if you treat them with care while folding and unfolding. The top is solid down the center and a little too flexible on the edges pressing down in a way that you won't do while using. You won't want to lean heavily on it and its not meant to be a seat.

The pleasant surprise for me is that it's easy to get a reasonably steady hold. Not ideal for the tightest of groups but I'm guessing we will be able to bust lollipops all day long.

Signed up on the Johnson safe build list today. Need to make some decisions on exactly what I want... but I'll have 11 months or so until I get it.

Went out and saw some in various states of build and checked out one he had on trade in that I could have bought. But that one was so huge while it would have gotten to the basement, it would have never come back up.

Super nice guy and took his time at the end of his day to show me what he builds and discuss with me.

Glad to hear it. I got mine today as well, but haven't had a chance to even open the box yet. I'm sure it'll do what I need it to do.

I hear it's hot in Texas too. Hope you're not getting to close to the coast. Hurricanes would be PIA.

Working in a hot factory in a mask is not fun.

More enjoyable when running a 1/8th 7018 bead on scd 80 for 5-6 hours with a respirator along with Cat 2 pants and shirt and a welding jacket. You tilt your head back and the sweat just runs out of your helmet.. ... And when the respirator comes off a mask has to go on.... LOL....
Plant I was at yesterday and today in Anderson has no AC running about 15 injection machines in it. It was in the upper 90's in there today..
I look at the folks working everyday in there and no way would I do that....
