    Mornin!.... Coffee!


    As far as the heat goes. The reason it took me five days to paint my deck, is because while pushing myself to finish building the steps and railing I overdid it. I was in bad shape for a couple days due to heat exhaustion. Decided that wasn't fun, so I forced myself to quit before the heat of the day took it's toll.

    Well the heat whooped me pretty good yesterday. Even drinking lots of water, I think I still got somewhat dehydrated. Woke up about 4 am and was hugging the toilet. (I blame the strawberry milkshake and the beer I had for dinner last night for that!) About 6 am, I decided to eat something because I was starving to death. Made some eggs bacon and toast. About 8 am, my stomach rebelled and it wa back to hugging the toilet again. By that time, I had an awful headache and just felt like crap, so I took a couple Advil, crawled back into bed with the A/C cranked up on high. Just woke back up a little while ago. I feel better, but just still tired and thirsty.

    I think it was a mild case of heat exhaustion. Probably fixing the broken water line did it. But, I had no choice in getting it fixed. I was drinking lots of water, but I think I was still sweating it out faster than I was replacing it. Once I got back to the house, my clothes were soaking wet.

    It's not just the heat, but the high humidity that saps your energy. This is why I say it can still sneak up on you. Y'all be careful out there.

    I have. I swear by them. I drink a bottle of water with one about an hour before I go out in the heat for an extended period of time. They work great but the taste does take a little getting used to.

    I'll see if I can locate some locally then. If not, I'll get the wife to order some for me. Thanks for the heads up guys!

    Have you tried these?
    Honestly- No. About to order some on a good word.

    I got bit Friday a little bit myself. Been drinking a gallon of water a day, everyday. We had a job to do Friday @ 5pm. Bucket work and the heat got me. I came down in bad shape. Was craving Gatorade. Seems I need some salt and sugar. Water just isn't enough. Honestly, depending on how much you sweat... I don't really think you can keep up with the demand when running full throttle.

    Coffee and beer are no help either. But....

    Nothing will drain ya like sleeves and gloves. I don't miss that one bit.
