International 1086 had doors on both sides and they opened all the way to the hood. You could strap a bungee cord to keep them open or take them completely off and all the windows opened.
Nothing better for the soul than summer bush hogging. No cab, roof, or air on my tractor. Put on my big straw hat and just keep turning left. It gives you time to think and relax. Plus it will sweat all of your demons out. Even when you go early in the AM and quit before lunch.
I got too. I work right outside of Baton Rouge. It was 97 and felt like 110 with humidity. I swear I go to Mississippi to cool off.
Hence the reason he's got" more work than he can handle", because his azz is only working part time!
It wouldn’t be nearly as inconvenient for you if they did it at night. They need some satisfaction for a job poorly done! ***
It cleanses the soul! Answer me this, why is the steering wheel on an open station tractor black? Mine was so hot the other day and I’d forgotten my gloves that I couldn’t even hold onto it.
I think its like Patdog said earlier. Its about being acclimated and a lot of young people aren't outside all summer like we (I'll be 58 in less than a month) were. I grew up in air conditioning but every summer, there wasn't a day where I wasn't outside playing as a kid or working/playing as a teen. I now have a nice, cushy, air-conditioned desk job but to stay acclimated, I'll go out and push-mow my yard at 2pm on a Saturday.
Great question! Probably designed by some city slicker engineer that has never been on a tractor. Mine is the same way. LOL.
9th grade, Mt. Olive in south Mississippi, late August, Algebra I, senile teacher, no A/C, no fan, windows open, re-tarring the roof = HELL ON EARTH!
Biology is a hell of a thing. The body acclimates to heat in amazing ways. Body hair changes, the body keeps more water for when it needs to sweat, sweating changes to be more efficient, heart rate slows, circulation changes especially around the skin, and a thousand more probably. Muscular fitness is just not the same thing.
I’m reading this and only thinking about how much we need to add BYU back to the football schedule.
sometimes beer? Are you in Germany? Seriously what do u do that allows such? Asking for a friend
Yeah i’m with you. 1 day in however many years ? I mean it’s like the senator that brought the snowball in the chamber to make a point.
I am encouraged by their behavior, money does not make a life. I worked myself almost to death the summer of ‘93. I ended up in the hospital for weeks. I went from 185 to 135 in less than a month, got dehydrated and almost died of pneumonia. I have not been the same since.
My situation, we talking about folks working behind desks in Air Conditioning for 40 hrs/week.
I drive a truck, it is my own, but I ain't going nowhere if my air ain't working. I gets very hot in those things even when the air is working. And I still get out in my yard or shop and work in this heat if I got to get something done but I ain't getting that wheel till I fix the A/C and I grew up in a home without it!
Some is done at night, depends on where its located and amount of impact between the two.
Hernando High school didn't have A/C when I was in school either.
Too hot for the store owner to risk being sued if someone gets heat exhaustion is my bet. Has to be litigation related. At mechanics rates I can’t imagine a scenario where it wouldn’t make sense to have some effective climate control in place.
I always wore long pants and sleeves because once they got sweated in any little breeze cooled me. Also ate my sammich in the truck because it sucked to go inside for 30 minutes of cool and then get right back into the heat.
I’m seeing well over half the land area of the contigious US having its record high average within the last 35-40 years.
Was it the school windows that pulled down about 45 degrees max, if you hung on them, and offered no practical relief? That’s what we had.
Two things:
