I've been painting the the railings on the deck, off and on for about the last 10 days. They were last painted when the deck was constructed back in 2004 and the paint was faded and starting to peel. The last time I painted I used a spray gun and did 2 coats in 1 day. This time I've had to use a brush and roller because of all the furniture and fixed canopies that occupy the deck and the process has been much slower (not to mention that I've blown my beer budget for the year) On most days the temp. when I was painting was around 24c. I knew it was going to be hot today so I decided to start a bit earlier (8:30 a.m.)........ for me that's early. The temp was already 23c and rising. By 11:00 a.m. the temp was 31c and I was starting to hallucinate. After getting a vision of Gino in a Speedo....... I knew it was time to pack it in. (I use to work with Gino in my prior job, his nickname was Shrek) I grabbed a bottle of water and parked myself in the shade and checked the thermometer. It read 90f (it's an old type) I don't ever recall it being that hot so early in the day.
The day wasn't a total wash......Spent the rest of the day floating in the pool, along with my beer cooler. Didn't have any more hallucinations, thank God!!!!
Global Cooling has been temporarily suspended.
