TOO HOT

[GRIZ]

I just got the message tonight from my forman. No work tommorrow, it's too hot they said. That's OK with me I wouldn't have anything to do anyhow as the machine I run I have to quit once it's too warm. Saves me a trip to ND. My machine doesn't have air and it's old enough that the shift lever gets hot enough to give ya a blister if you do anything other than slap it.

 Anyone else get called off work or do you all have air conditioned jobs?

 :laugh:only when i am in a tree about 40 to 50 feet up, on a windy day!

Griz, I have not been called off of work yet, but I am glad as I need the hours.
good thing ol putz helped me get fixed up with the air conditioning in white lightning.
I really feel for those guys working on the paver. the mix is coming out at around 300 degrees and they are laying it out as fast as we dump. then they have to work on and around the new mat all day.
when you all travel on the nice new surface that is MN state highway 46, from little ball club lake to northome this fall, remember the poor bastards who fried their brains doing it.
3 more days there and we should about wrap it up except for the shouldering.
use you heads in this hot weather and if you can, make someone else a little more comfortable, if it be handing a ice cold coke to a paving crew member, or an elderly person in your neighborhood, by inviting them in for a game (or three) of checkers where it is nice and cool. :)
