further south :

What was it about 98 degrees that morning ? It was still before lunch so it
hadnt broke 100 yet
and I am cranking my ass off on my Reid with a crowd gathering . I stop and
lean on the truck whilst
the civies survey the situation . After regaining the ability to stand

Nobody noticed what I had done !
