More like 95+ and humid here from late June through September.  Like the armpit of the country for some reason.  We had a good August here this go around so pretty stoked about that.

The pay is pretty good plus the benefits.  The issue is the 10 1/2 to 11 hours a day.  They can take some of those hours back.

I Love Alabama 1990 I hhg drilled under rivers in Ga. In 90 too.  I heard alot of u dam Yankees coming down here etc. until they saw us working they got quite real fast .  Every bridge near job site had white hangings. U watched your back back then.  It changed alot I never hear yankee stuff anymore .  I ve been all ovr Ga. In trucking too on back rds .  The rivers r muddy lookin but there’s Really nice lakes .  At the lakes there was big family reunions .  They were great & invited me to eat etc , amazing food in the se.  Avoid atL any rd off the loop they shut the rd down for injuries . Because they run into the paramedics or injured. The only city in America to do so .  It does get cold 12 degree at the stadium pu 4 yrs ago. You,l get the se accent pretty quick . Bad poison oak , aggressive snakes cotton mouth, water moccasin etc , fire ants is the bad . 

Fire ants are a BITCH in Georgia. My God they're everywhere.

This. And if it’s not the humidity, it’s the humidity.

Summers in southern CA low desert sit between 110 &122 for 2-3 months at a time. 

Gets really demoralizing when you leave for work at 4:45AM, the door handle is still hot on your truck & it is still 98 outside.

 

That being said, I will take 3 straight months of 110+ dry heat than a week of 90 degree and 60% humidity. How you guys pull it off is beyond me.......

I remember years ago as a young mechanic talking to this old guy that worked oil in the middle east, he said he used to carry his tools in a bucket of water so they would stay cool enough to work with.

I laughed it off thinking it was BS old guy story then, I bought a house in Lake Havasu...

Had to replace the steering cable in my boat last August, outside, in the sun. It was that moment I realized that old man was telling me the truth.
