Joe I have had you on my prayer list from day one, but my wife and I will pray extra for you. I will also add you to the Church Prayer meeting tonight.

Thank you so much. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer!

Joe

A few weeks back I suffered heat exhaustion and was in Baylor overnight. That was just from going and visiting shut ins on a Saturday. I can’t imagine being out in this heat for hours on end.

I had an electrician at my house on Saturday for work that needed done in our electrical panel. If I would have not been standing there I would not have believed this. He had his tools in a bag strapped to kind of a small dolly. He reached down to pull out a pair of pliers that had rubber handles and they literally melted off into his hand. The rubber stuck to his hand and burned him pretty bad.

I don’t remember the heat much as a child, but I am well aware if it now. I am sure like many of you we didn’t know what A/C was.

I was just wondering how many of you were shooting outdoors? Do you find oil or grease works better in this kind of heat?

Carl,
Like you I cannot tolerate the heat much beyond going to the truck and back, and maybe a couple of stores on the same trip. I have a cardiologist appointment Friday to see what's up with me. In this heat I fade pretty quickly. I only shoot indoors, mostly at the Shootsmart close to you. Debbie and I full-time RV and do mission projects, and as such we've been able to be up north during the summers for all 15 years of our retirement.......until this summer. With doctor visits, hospital procedures, and the time in between each, usually 4 to 5 weeks, we've been in Waxahachie since April and it looks like we will be here until the end of November. I grew up in Mesquite, but had forgotten how hot it gets in Texas in the summer. Please put me on your prayer list sir, as I am having esophagus and heart issues. Thanks, Joe.
