The too hot for yardwork indicator

[G_Stines]

Told me this morning that it was way to hot outside. So I've been inside fixing random things on the list and cleaning bits before the get together I have going on this Friday night, and doing it in the comfort of central A/C. Pretty productive day, pretty glad old reliable told me that I should stay inside today this morning. Put her outside and when she came she told me it was way to hot. Demonstration pics below.

Skipped the drink of water and just flopped down on the vent.

My indicator is when then calendar hits June 15. It conveniently lasts until Sept 21 or so! heh

That's awesome! Our new puppy does that as soon as she comes in the door, and I felt like doing that when I got home from work today.

Yup. My GSD sprawled out on the ceramic tile in the entry way (and is still there) to cool off. My chickens were panting.

I don't think she has moved from there all day. She is still laying on it. I think she thinks it won't be there tomorrow...

Yeah, when I let the dogs out they ran to the edge of the deck, stopped, gave me a WTF look and ran back inside. I had to drag them back out to the yard so they could "do their business". Even the worlds two stupidest dogs didn't want to be outside and usually I have to drag them in.

No such thing as too hot.

I shame myself into working outside knowing that my brother is going on 8 hour patrols wearing ceramic plates in 100+ degree heat over mountainous terrain.

Always raising the bar that one is.

Well... if they keep THAT up, people will decide it's too hot and quit and the war will be over.

If this keeps up, you'll have fried chickens.

Seriously. Can't we fight a war in some place that has nice weather?

People who live in places with nice weather have better things to do than start ****. You ever hear of political unrest in the Bahamas? No.

When my beer is warm after one lap around the yard. This a good sign for me that it is to hot outside.

Archie the Golden Retriever laid at the back door on the register this morning and watched me cut his yard. When I got done with the front and came inside he was inverted on the floor in the family room with ceiling fan blowing on his belly, paws touching a different register, and giving me a look like I was fool for being out there working.

But then again I have been on a black rubber roof of a high school for the past two weeks installing A/C condensing units so the kiddies can be nice and cool when they go back. So this morning wasn't that bad.
