    Remember your drinking water not to stay hydrated. Your drinking water so you don't die and USIC has to figure out where to bury your ass so they can say you were a no-call no-show.

    USIC sends all those "stay hydrated" emails out to everyone so when you pass out from not being able to idle your truck and cool off, they can say that they told you to drink plenty fluids.

    Shut up. I've actually fallen into one of those unmarked, loosely covered potholes. Ended up sitting on top of a faulted 3phase primary in a 6 ft deep hole.

    108... Holy cow. When it gets to 85 I start to feel it. Today at about 95 I had to go home. I couldn't take it. If it was 108 here you would find me in someones backyard soaking in a swimming pool.

    Lol, yeah I've noticed you PNW'ers up here aren't heat resistant. It started hitting 95 and everything SHUT DOWN. I mean EVERYTHING. The only tickets I'm seeing are either from out of state contractors or are absolutely essential things that can't wait.

    Meanwhile I have yet to break a sweat. I feel like I moved to heaven! Not missing Oklahoma this Summer AT ALL!
