Did a bit of asphalt,
lots of haying, both stacking bales on wagons and in the barn.
Getting up in almost full silos and forking silage around to fill it to
the top was nasty.
Hauling asphalt in an old Mack with no a/c had its moments when you had to sit in the freshly paved road. Heat coming up, 100 degree air, sun beating down, 23 ton of 300 degree asphalt 2 feet behind you.
But the worst?
Hauled 5&10 store freight, had to hand unload multiple stops.
Every other week I ran across southern Louisiana, into East Texas.
Pick up a loaded trailer on Wednesday evening, let it cook until Saturday.
Drag it down to Baton Rouge, listen to the morning weather.
98.
Degrees and humidity. Only God knows the temp in the trailer.
Bandana in my pocket, gallon of water.
Get in the trailer, sweated wet underware already.
Bandana on, shirt off, here we go!
