It does suck, but the hunting lease I’m on could go to hell any time. The family is suing each other, hopefully get to hunt this season, go get stands, feeders, feeder pens, pig traps, tripods when it’s cool. I had to get it usable in case I have to go get my things now.

I'm not retired yet so my excuse is work, but honestly, I just can't stomach the thought of being out in the heat one minute more than I have to. Remeber when the trailer deck is falling through you can always screw some plywood to it a get another couple years out of it. LOL


I did that, but need to haul my tractor, was nervous about that. I’ve lived all my life in the Texas heat, worked outside in the crap for 50 plus years. I stayed in a lot last summer since it was the first year I didn’t have to be in it, but I was bored. I’ve been out in it most all summer working on something. I work a couple hours, go in for 30 minutes or so.

I can tell you out in the sun is bad, but have worked in boiler rooms and tunnels that were 130 degrees. That’s way worse, welded lots of pipe in mechanical rooms. You are in there a little while, it feels good to go outside on a 100 degree day.
