[GreenMachine102]

DAMN! Is it just me or was it hotter than hell today?:blob2:

I went through 2 shirts!

[Live4Mowin']

Concrete pavers get extremely hot too

[bobbygedd]

man, we cut 12 lawns by 1:20, and im tellin you, i was fried, just plain cooked. it was bad. could have done a few more, but i felt like i was on fire, and quit.

[Tim Canavan]

I'll trade your kind of hot for my kind of hot here in Houston. What do you say? I sure wouldn't want your winters though.

[BSDeality]

was pretty humid up north here too today. not as bad as yesterday, but i've got a headache from teh heat. i guess 1 gallon of water in 2 hours isn't enough.

[GreenMachine102]

yeah bobby, I had to quit at 3:00, just too hot, only cut one yard today its huge and takes me 2 hours to mow with a rider, 1hour of push mowing, and 1 1/2 hours of trimming, not to mention I had to put round-up down his long driveway, so I just couldn't go on! DOne for the day!:cool:

This may sound dumb, but why? what will it do? I don't know much about weed control, Is it unaffective in heat?

Why would heat affect round up? Rain yes, heat thats new to me.

[Tbarchaser]

Lets put it this way...Ever been in a sauna? now fire up a trimmer and run in circles for 10 hours.....welcome to Florida.

[rodfather]

It was brutal here in NJ today...3 H's...hazy, hot , and humid. I came home around 3:30 and actually fell asleep on the couch for an hour and a half after being on our first lawn at 7:00. Haven't done that in ages...

[yourlawnguy]

I'm with you Tbarchaser. I was soaked thru by 9:30 am then my pto clutch on the 48" went out and had to finish the day with the 36" gear drive :angry: gave up at %:00, I'll finish the last few tomorrow. :(

[Gtotoy]

very warm in nj , we stopped cutting at 6ppm, due to rain.

[sbvfd592]

I was sweeting at 530 this morin mowing the putting green my hand :angry:

[Popsicle]

It was beautiful around these parts today. Some clouds and upper 60's! I could handle this the entire year! Much better than the mid 80's with sun.

[Tbarchaser]

MID 80's!!!!!!!! that would be great!

[dvmcmrhp52]

Took the day off,Haven't seen the wife in a week!:D
Took to the pool quite nicely today.:p

[GLAN]

No comment

Sat in the office all day

[DLS1]

How about 106 in Kansas City. Just about every town around here is on water restrictions due to less that 1/2 " rain since end of June. Over 100 degrees 6 days in a row. You guys got it good.

I agree with you 100%:blob2: :blob2: :blob2: That is what your but feels like here in the south.

[SCAPEASAURUSREX]

Yeah, here it was 101...... stopped about 2pm and passed out on the sofa for a few hours.... Ughhhh...

[GraZZmaZter]

Heat advisery here yesterday. Today was alot cooler with less humidity.

The weatherman showed the doppler radar on the screen and it looked like we were getting slammed with rain, but not a drop was falling! It was all the moisture in the air!!!!

[Rhett]

First yard of the day a nice old man that lives there noted that I was drenched and asked if "I Would I like him to use the garden hose and cool me off?"Actually had the hose out and ready to go. First off I hate cold water, second have 8 more to do just like it. Nice thought but no thanks

Awww cmon.:rolleyes: Damn if it was as bad as it was last year I could see yer point...We haven't had a summer up here yet. Wish I could qut at 1:30. Just havin to cut 15-20 a day, but I love this weather. Sure the humidity is up there but it hasn't been over 90 more than a couple of days this year.

Suck it up boys!!

Ya could be in Fla, or Tex.:eek:

[lawnagent]

official national weather surface temperature for yesterday, 95 heat index of 105 to 110 degrees Us? We trimmed and then put mulch aroun 56 shrubs that bordered and/or surrouned a blacktop parkin lot. Man I aint been that hot in years!

[LawnMower]

Here in Newport its like Pee Supe. It got up to around 90 today, but its full humidity.
Everything is sticking. You cant just open a door, you have to unstick it. My garage floor is sweating so bad, its soaking wet, mixed with oil.
I just suck it up and work in slow Motion. It has to get done. My customers dont care if its hot, they want there lawn mowed period. There all sympathetic when they actually see you out there sweating to death. They offer water and junk. But never the less, you better get my lawn mowed.

I dont mind, because I hate the cold weather, lol. Appreciate all the seasons, because they will be gone soon enough and the next season will be on its way.

[tiedeman]

it was 98 in the shade yesterday here. And the humidity was horrible. I sent the guys home at 3:30.

[lawnman_scott]

hot here too. i sent the guys home at 8:30. i figured 14.5 was enough for one day, theres always tomorow.

[Bluesteel]

Sniff, sniff. I smell turpentine. That's right, the stuff you soak your socks in. You know, to keep the bugs off of your candy@$$. If this was easy, women and children would be doing it. :p

[mmacsek]

Blue Steel, You really PO'ed my wife! She's my partner and we were out for 10 hours yesterday. Got everything done. I guess like the old saying goes ,"If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch with the pups" Matt

[bobbygedd]

yea, and when there is an ozone warning in effect, stay on the porch, or get skin cancer. i can deal with the heat, man i wipe my rear with sand paper, with thumb tacks too, but when the sun is so hot, its frying your skin like bacon, time to go to the porch, blend up a pitcher of margahritas, and talk trash. i always wondered, if using alot of sun block every day was also a health hazard

[Bluesteel]

Sniff, sniff, sniff. Yep, that's turpentine.

[GLAN]

I don't get the turpentine thing....:confused:


Now if you had said I smell cheese.......:)

[DUSTYCEDAR]

smells like low tide

[EagleLandscape]

Haha, you guys complain about hot. I do 10 yards a day, 3 times a week, by myself in Dallas, Texas heat. The only place hotter than Dallas is Houston. So I feel for the Houston guys, but the rest of you all have nothing to complain aboiut

[DUSTYCEDAR]

it might be hot in texas but how cold does it get how abought snow up to the door nob

[bobbygedd]

man, there aint nothing in texas except steers and queers, and i dont see no horns on your head.

[mmacsek]

Bobby,
You was be alot of fun to drink beer with!!! By the way , what grit sandpaper do you use? Matt

[bobbygedd]

i use the real corse stuff, and i jus keep rubbin till the sand paper wears out.

[mmacsek]

Bobby,
A real man would use a power sander, but I guess you wouldn't know to much about that. Matt

[The Lawn Boy Pro]

Did ya all hear that it was hot in AZ AND the price of gas was up to 4 bucks a GALLON?!?!?! :eek: :eek: :eek: Glad i dont live there! (Actually they showed a sign in AZ on the news that said $3.67, and was followed by UP to 4 bucks a gallon)
