Heat Wave

We had a heat wave come into town last weekend. I thought I would spend Sunday watching a movie with the family. However Momoko was not feeling well. So I stayed home instead. I went out to do yard work late in the afternoon.

I filled up my jug with ice water. Skipped mowing the lawn. Went back into the woods on our property. Started to clear the area. This amounted to using a hand saw to chop down branches and small trees. This wiped me out. I kept hydrated.

Usually I can power through fatigue. Not this Sunday. The hand sawing action is difficult. I was not in the direct sun. But the heat and work overpowered me. I took a break or two inside the air conditioned house. Still could not last more than about an hour outside working.
