Bill, that sounds like WAYYYYY too much physical labor to me and a LOUSY way to spend any of your weekend.
Heatstroke is no joke and can cause permanent damage, especially in anyone getting old(er) !
The vast majority of us here are getting real close to being "old coots".

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

Man, you have no idea. And it wasn't just the weekend, it was the whole week. Temps in the upper 80's/low 90's every day, and it wasn't a dry heat. The heat index was over 100 ever day. I golfed on Tuesday night and thought it couldn't get worse than that, but yesterday proved me wrong. I did manage to get the Magnum Sprint and Solar Warrior coated with F&F, so they're both looking good for the 9-11 launch. Golf is supposed to be over on Tuesday, but the high temps will only be in the upper 70's. Survivable, but I'm REALLY over the whole golf thing this year.
