Too hot!

Well me and a friend had a range day planned for Wednesday but with the heat index in the triple digits we called it off. Humidity here in the south makes it feel like you put on a body suit when you go outside. He has a new Canik he just picked up today he is wanting to try out plus I’m wanting to try the Apex trigger I installed in my HellCat. I worked outside in the heat and cold for years but it kicks my tail now. Went and fed the rabbits at 6 and gave them fresh water and made sure the fans were running to help keep them cool. Checked on the chickens so I might have been outside 30 minutes. Sweat was pouring off of me and my shirt was soaked and I got dizzy. Hopefully it will cool down some next week.
 
It does get hot here in southern New Mexico. Stays extremely hot from June to September Then cools down to just hot in October. I have gotten used to it in the 32 years I have been here. I still don't really like it but I don't control the weather.
 
65 here now, and i gotta water the flowers...this is the calm day before the "storm",

of temps up to 100 and at least 110 with the heat index with the humidity.

weatherman said temps of 100 for 3 days in a row, happened back in 1944 and then again in 1994.......

i don't recall 1994 as i was on the road back then.

but my poor wife had to deal with it, and yes, we did have window a/c units.

Oh, yeah, and this is why I prefer to shoot indoors. Weather doesn't matter at all. Worst I have ever had to deal with is making sure hte parking lot was plowed :ROFLMAO:

yeah, the public range is closed all this week (how convenient) and at my club, i have to turn on the a/c in the range to cool it down, so its actually hot back there for a long time, making waiting for it to cool down time consuming.


i only have so much time to sit and wait.
 
Y'all be careful in the heat. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can sneak up on you and is dangerous. For you and your pets. Recognize the signs and get out of the heat. If you are thirsty you are probably 2 quarts low. When we were in the hay business here in Florida we saw the symptoms in people unaccustomed to working in the heat. We headed it off by giving ice water and putting them in air conditioning but you want to avoid it getting that far. You have to listen to your body and don't try to tough it out. Y'all be safe out there.

In my area indoor ranges are like saunas and very cold in the winter. The exhaust fans pull the cooler/warmer air out. I actually find the normal 10-12mph breeze more enjoyable than the indoor options here. Drink more water than you think you need and shoot early or evening is my rule.
