heat, rain, thunder, lightning, hail

Post Reply New Topic

Past couple weeks, been pretty hot. I work in the parking lot. Sunday, 83 to 97 degrees fahrenheit. Sweating a lot. Felt like heatstroke. Today, suddenly kind of cold. Dreading the winter. Rain, thunder, lightning, hail. Wet shoes from 7am to 7pm, s**t. Raincoat better than nothing, but not adequate for seven f*****g hours. No snow. Last year, the coldest it got @ work was 35degrees fahrenheit. Plenty of cities get much hotter and/or colder than the city where i live, but it's still so much work to push shopping carts in the rain. fear getting sick and s**t.

I can't stand rain and thunder. Thunder wakes me up in the middle of the night. My aunt was also scared of thunder. One time, she was talking on the phone and there was thunder, the very next second, she drove into our driveway just from down the street where she lived.

Working outside in the rain is a drag, but working outside on 30°C+ days I find unbearable.
It pretty unpleasant working in a thunderstorm too (Try climbing a 30 metre tower on top of a hill to replace lightning arrestors in a storm.)
But if I'm indoors I LOVE a big storm.
A few exceptions... A storm in Florida where whole trees were sailing past the hotel window and a lightning strike 75m from my house that left our first born alpaca a steaming corpse.
Oh...and the strike on my 20m dipole over the water tank on top of Foster hill.
In my shack, my hair leapt to attention and sparks ran around everything electrical. I only popped one fuse, but I lost the dipole (less eggs) and 40m of RG8, which I couldn't afford to replace in those days

I love listening to high fidelity reproductions of thunder on state of the art transducers, but the real life stuff makes me retreat into a quiet noise proofed room.

yesterday and today, feet frozen around 10am. it's only the middle of october, s**t. feet going to be frozen, from now until march, from 5am waking up, until 10am @ work, every single day. heating bill $$$$ and my dumpsterfire "job" might have the nerve to make my worthless corpse redundant any day now s**t.

today and yesterday, had more trouble defecating than usual (39 min bm), (50 min bm fail), and et cetera. but, correlation versus causation.

it's only going to get colder in december.

my worthless corpse only getting weaker s**t.

For 7 years I worked as a forklift driver in all kinds of weather. In winter I'd wear a raincoat but still end up sitting in a puddle of water. The summer was the worst though, despite long sleeves, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. It would get above 40°C and we'd still have to work.

I like a rainy, stormy day where I can stay in bed and read.

any kinda day where I can just stay in bed.

thus far, this winter, it has been raining a lot less often than other winters.

somehow, this winter, thus far, shoes have only gotten wet a couple of times in the rain @ work. on the other hand, it has been raining six (6) consecutive days, here, as of today. however, rags and shoes only got a little wet. it wasn't raining that hard, and not that long, and only while i was on my way home from work. however, right now, all of my shoes, except two pairs, are wet and in front of the fan to dry. my sister gave me the fan to dry shoes with. however, it takes a couple days for the fan to dry the shoes, but i don't have any better ideas.

for a couple days, it was about 37fahrenheit (@ 9am). and i leave my Pigpen 6 to 7 am to go to work, on public transportation. feet felt frozen unbearably, but just for a couple days., past couple of days, @ 9am, been around 60 fahrenheit (about the same as the summers here.




right now, flash flood warning. gale warning, flood warning. hate having wet shoes seven am to seven pm at work. and being cold temperature. horrified of getting sick. on the other hand, now that i am 42 years old, it's like, my "life" is over anyways. so whatever.

Heavy rain and thunder/lightning are the ABSOLUTE WORST!! !! !!

I too retreat into a safe room (bathroom) without windows so I don't have to see it!

Yesterday it was 58 to 60 fahrenheit 9 am to 5 pm
