Beat the heat.

Make sure your getting your electrolytes. Magnesium, potassium, and SALT! Salt is good when youre soaking wet by 11 and drenched all day. No matter what the drs say. They are in air conditioned offices. Never had to sweat.

I big glass of ice water and some cut up tomatoes from the garden with lots of salt help. Or just a v8. Lots of salt in that stuff

Used to take salt tablets when I worked in a gravel pit in my mid 20's. Its amazing how well they work to keep you cool. But you also need to up your potassium at the same time or its leg cramp city when you try and sleep at night.

No baking soda in your lyte solution? I've also heard that salt sub provides a good kick of potassium for a lyte solution.

You be careful, CR! While that salt and water did the trick... it just might have not. Heat stroke is serious business. Especially if you are on a roof!!! This message sent to you by a caring grandmother!

Yeah... Dizzy on a roof - not good bro.

Gotta make a living. And those folks were hot. One of the ACs went down. It was like 75°f in there! Lol

 

[frustratedearthmother]

That looks good!

Ice water for me. Never have liked beer.

You and me both, Bay. It tastes like pig poop smells...ick.

Lots of ice and water, come into the house to get cool and dry the sweat every once in awhile....that's about it.

 

[Beekissed]

That's nigh perfect!

 

[Mini Horses]

AGREED, CR. That's my feelings.

Then, I hate the cold. Like really, long time cold. No Northern home for me.

A water sprinkler is low maintenance and has no snakes or snapping turtles.

Speaking of snapping turtles. My friend owns one, I was actually snapped.. It's super painful. I don't wanna hold that animal ever again.
