It's so hot today

[Larry Ashcraft]

104 in Pueblo yesterday.

We don't have AC in our house, but usually it stays about 20 degrees below outside temp (we have lots of trees), EXCEPT during canning season.

I'm on my way to Lowe's in a few minutes to buy a big swamper, cause no salsa is going to get made this summer if I don't.

My family left Kentucky in 1888 for Colorado. After visiting there when my SIL was in the Army, I couldn't understand why my family left there.

UNTIL, one 4th of July weekend we volunteered to fly back and help SIL build a fence. I was never so glad to step out of the plane at COS airport.

Warped Tour was stupid hot. Yesterday was even hotter. I was sweating just teaching kung fu class, trying NOT to move too much so I wouldn't sweat all over the place.

Back when I was doing TKD we shared a space in a gym with the aerobics class. They would be in there first. This was on the top floor and there was one vent for building ac. We would show up, close all the windows and torture ourselves. During the summer it would get up past 90 in there while we worked out. Wasn't a day that I did not come out of that class with my entire uniform completely soaked.

Yeah my kids were complaining about the heat and I told them they're lucky because I already turned on the AC. They said, "You did?" To which I replied by pointing at the open door.

My instructor was retired Marine from Vietnam. His response was always "You think you are going to get to chose when you fight? It's going to be cold, it's going to be hot, you are not going to be hydrated or stretched out and someone is going to attack you."

In the winter we would open the window. This is in WI too. He would throw out his back and come teach class anyways.

I need to find someone like that for my daughters when they are old enough to start going.

We might be opening a school in Aurora in the future...

Hey Lex I was thinking about getting into this marshal arts thing for the exercise. But I'm worried about there being a bunch of sweaty guys rolling around together on the ground and shit. I don't think I could deal with that. What is it that you folks do in your branch of marshal arts?

I really hope that's sarcasm I see in that post..

Yeah there's a reason why Jiu jitsu and muay Thai are the most effective. Atrial art there is... If you're that big of a homophobe I dunno what to tell you.

Personally I like it, but only if I dont have to wear a shirt.

That's only an opinion. There are some good things about those arts, but there are also things missing from them. Again, my opinion is based on my own experience.
