fishing8046 Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Hendo I think as we age it just feels hotter every year. Nobody told us it was hot when we were kids in Arizona so we just acclimated to the heat. I grew up with swamp cooling so when it got humid it was a cold shower and drip drying in front of a fan. Those swamp coolers would freeze you out if the humidity was low. They ran full-time from April to November. Their Electric bill is like $150 a month while some people with larger spaces and less efficient ACs these days are paying Nearly $600 a month some more. I feel blessed to go detecting all summer at least a few days a month but there is always some intentional preparation that happens the day before with hydrating. You have the place to yourself for sure. Growing up in it and working in it for many years the foods you eat, clothes you wear, and other methods make it tolerable. A good breeze is your friend that's where the clothes come in. Don't get me wrong the ride home is usually one of the most rejuvenating parts of the day. I know the days of having these areas to myself are nearly over for this year. Usually the the deer hunters start scouting in August and off-roader noise returns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
