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.

That's the biggest factor. These guys think they can drink until the bars close and then show up and do their job the next day in three digit heat index weather.

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.

That's it there. Blame parents who let their kids grow up playing video/online games all f'in day during the summer. Let me ask a question:

When was the last time you saw 10 kids playing baseball during the day?

I never do.

I think when we were young hooves we did have the tempting distraction of the incredible technology that makes the home a play room. It was damn boring with 3 TV channels, all bad.
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.
