the heat can kill. I remember at fort bragg we were out in the woods training...sucking big time. Some special forces guys were training nearby, one of them dumped his water to lighten his load, he went down and died...this heat is no joke.

No doubt about it..... My blood pressure was 74 over 44 when they loaded me into the ambulance. I think I perked up a little when the paramedic said that out loud.... scared the crap out of me.

You know.... I may just take you and Ethan up on that. Wife likes that idea too. She could drive me to/from Houston.

Cool let's figure out a way to make it happen.

Usually when I fall out of the golf cart its alcohol induced not heat related. I've always just bounced and got back in. Usually shortly thereafter I loose Clothing and chase the beer cart around.

Scotty, ouch!! :shock: hope you're feeling better soon.

I feel like passing out every day working in this heat. It's been crazy hot this month. It would be nice if we could finally get some rain!!!

Visited the doc today. Looks like I'm gonna be on crutches for a while. He's scheduling more tests this week to make sure I don't have liver, kidney, or dain bramage :hillbilly:

Ethan/Billy: It's very cool of you guys to offer to drag me along. I could probably convince doc to let me go and postpone the testing, but I can't get excited about doing a long weekend in Eureka on crutches.

I'm gonna have to pass this year.

Scotty
