Heat is no excuse for being lazy like Hooves guys, though.

There is being lazy and then there is puking. If your body is that hot that your actually vomiting, then its a sign to get out of the heat. Some people can take the heat, some can take the cold. I agree with most of my generation being lazy, but i don't consider that laziness. I consider it being a dumbass for not knowing what your body can do.

They don't give a **** if they get paid or not. I have had 12 guys of Central American descent working inside 8' diameter steel pipe, jackhammering concrete, 42' below ground 10 hours a day for the past two weeks. It is stifling down there. Not one guy has fallen out or begged out of the work. Hoove's guys would be puking and wanting to go home by 9am.

it takes about two weeks to get used to working in the heat. you can't take someone who's used to sitting in the ac and fling him out of doors. secret is lots of fluids--i don't think many realize just how much you lose by sweating.
and guys, regardless of how 'sexy' you might think you are with no shirt on while working out of doors, you're better off with a t-shirt on. it holds the sweat, helps keep the body cooler than no shirt. so, do civilization a favor, and keep your clothes on.

I was working very hard fishing via kayak in 97 degree weather, humidity off the charts, sun blasting off the bays surface. As long as I have my H2O I am good to go. So many people go in when the redfish are just starting to get visible around noon. Take a little afternoon nap under the big hot sky; Back to work from 3 pm till sunset. The good life.

We played outside constantly. My feet were like leather on the bottom. I could walk through sticker fields by the end of the summer without a second thought. Of course I will also probably get skin cancer. But outdoors was the place to be. Thats where everybody hung out in the summer. Thats where I worked in the summer as I got older. I feel lucky to be born when I was. The world is a much tougher place now imo. I would not want to be a kid now.

I think hooves is right that parents are very wary nowadays of letting their kids go outside unsupervised, so the kids stay home. And don't exercise.
It seems to me, too, though, that there aren't as many open areas for kids to play now, either. Everything gets developed and turned into someone else's private property with no trespassing signs. My parents' development won't even allow clotheslines in the back yard- I can't imagine what they'd do about kids drawing hopscotch boards on the sidewalks out front.

What a bunch a fucl<in' sissies.
And I'm talking about you people complaining about sissies! I worked as a world wide traveling electronics technician. I once was sent to Needles ,Ca. to repair the boiler controls for the Needles Factory Co.It was on the first floor..in the back...and the air conditioning was broke down as well. The o/s temp. was 128 degrees. I got accidently locked in there over the weekend. The temperature rose to 176 degrees....for 3 days!...with no friggin' water!! Then they sent me to the South Pole to fix an outdoor Coke machine. It was -89 degrees....with a 120 mile an hour wind!....and I forgot my coat! And my shoes!! And I was only 8 years old when I did all this!
