Please be careful out there.

I'm in the Northeast.

We are under heat warnings here, like much of the nation.

I just came in from outside. It's about 1100 AM and the combination of the heat and humidity is making it hard to breathe.

This is no joke. Try to stay out of the heat. If you can't, drink much larger amounts of water than you normally do. Even if you are not thirsty, force it down.

If you don't, you may be risking your life. Not drinking sufficient water will most certainly lead to heat stroke, and perhaps severe dehydration which will damage your kidneys.

No fooling, you can't beat Mother nature. Drink that water.

1. 10 am C and hiding from the heat

I've been running up and down ladders since dawn, but haven't accomplished much in the last hour.

4. Just set up a miter saw stand in my driveway.

I'm installing door casing today. I have an air conditioned garage, but I prefer to cut the stuff outside because of all the dust. So fortunately, I'll only have to be outside in it for a few minutes at a time.

Good for you for slowing yourself down in the last hour!

8. put my tools away

Just too hot. There's a breeze but it feels more like a dryer vent.

6. Now I know why they say to check on the elderly...

I'll only be 61 in a few months, but it's sucking the oxygen out of my lungs...very oppressive.

10. I'm 37 and a smoker

It certainly isn't helping me breathe lol

7. And keep Pedialyte on hand.

Much better for rehydration than the sports drinks which tend to have high sodium levels.

9. Pace yourself,... drink lots of water.
