Well. THAT should result in a few cartons going sour from disuse.

I worked with a couple of carpenters that would pound 3 Bud tallboys in rapid succession at about three o'clock each day.

They never left the roof. One and a half quarts of beer in the sun and I'd be down for the count.

They were hard workers though.

Were we talking worst heat work experiences?

Baling very dry alfalfa hay in August in East Central Kansas. You end up coated from head to foot, inside *and* out, with a fine, green, granular powder which sticks to you like some sort of Satanic adhesive, and itches like crazy. When you finally get to shower it off, it sticks in all the folds of your joints and inside your ears.

Thank the gods I'll never have to do that again.

It's been a nice balmy 90s the past few days........w/ 90 % humidity........
worst for me: our vacation Ranch is just this side of Death Valley/back side of the Sierras - grandpa built it forever ago - laid his own pipeline from a creek from the Sierras, three miles down to the house - Forest Service told us we had to remove all of his pipeline - some back to nature crap - had three months to get it out or they'd seize our property (200 acres) - spent 10 weekends in a row in the summer (at least 100 degrees in the direct desert sun) driving up after work on Friday, spending Sat & Sun digging out three miles of cast iron, concrete and pvc pipe by hand, dragging it back down to the Ranch. I swear I lost ten pounds in those 2 1/2 months. (But we did git er done, and had a big party to celebrate on the last weekend. Screw you, Forest Service.)

No worry, the Forest Service will find some other reason to seize your property.

Elspode · 07-28-2005, 12:47 PM

Wolf is right. Unless you are a large corporate Right Wing campaign donor, and therefore automatically good for the economy (interesting how that works, idnit?), you no longer have any property rights.

So...what did you do for water after that? And what the hell ever happened to Grandfathering of easement rights (no pun intended)?

Queen of the Ryche · 07-28-2005, 12:50 PM

The Ranch is the only private land for miles up there - we are surrounded by Forest Service and LADWP land - (the freakin L A Aqueduct runs across the bottom of the property). They have been trying to get it out of our hands for the last 100 years - the water battle has been ongoing. We have been on a waiting list for a well for about 10 years now, which will run us about $25,000. (They only allow water rights to so many people because the water table is so low, thanks to Mulholland and his damned aqueduct.) So for now, we bring all of our water with us.

plthijinx · 07-28-2005, 12:58 PM

i guess drilling a well is out of the question?

Queen of the Ryche · 07-28-2005, 01:00 PM

You have to have "water rights" which we are on the list to get approved for, the we have to hire someone to come drill it, which will run us around $25,000.

footfootfoot · 07-28-2005, 07:55 PM

Have you looked in the yellow pages under "stealth drilling"? Worth a shot.

Queen of the Ryche · 07-28-2005, 10:40 PM

stealth in Cali? Big Arny is watching...........

Just because I want to share: As I sit here typing the sweat is trickling down my cleavage. Howzat for a visual? I thought it was supposed to be LESS humid...

mrnoodle · 07-30-2005, 12:46 PM

I'm just not seeing it. Maybe if you posted a picture?
