Friggen amateurs. *If I had done the job, the whole of the back of the

Thankfully, no. *Got the replacement culvert in without further incident (well,

Okay, you're out getting dirty and sweat-soaked (we're not quite the
Gulf Coast, but Nebraskan's have been living through a month of
110-120 heat indexes due to the southerners not being able to hold
onto their humditity and having it escape north), so why would you
change your shirt?

I'm kinda-sorta joking, but not completely. If "out in the field," I don't fool
with it much, but if I'm near the house, I actually do change 'em, and a fair
number of folks down here do the same. Basically, when it is like this
weather-wise, what we do is work (and I do mean _work_) about 30-40 minutes and
take a 5 minute water/cool-off break. I towel off and put on a dry shirt and go
into a entry room that I keep about 78-80F or so. I do not get into extremely
chilly truck cabs (and if I'm driving and working around a property, it's
windows down, AC off), go immediately into a heavily AC'ed area, etc.

By the way, use the dump truck cab as a culvert by removing the doors
and just pile more dirt on top. It is the Southern Way.

Wouldn't work - check your inbox.
