I'm wondering if heat tolerance changes with age? Most of my life working out in the heat hasn't bothered me much, and I've often scoffed at those NOAA heat-index warnings. But the past three weeks of haying in mid-90's with high humidity has gotten to me at times. It may be time for this farmer to cut back a little. <br /><br />ClearAyes, JD, et al,<br />Thanks dears. <br /><br />It turns out there won't be any news at eleven. I didn't make it out to the pasture due to my huge fear of rejection. Those damn ewes are very choosy. <br />Market day early tomorrow. Off to bed, and see if the Irish........

Believe me, its not worth getting all hot under your collar ... just ignore them ... and pretend you never saw their post.<br /><br />I for one, am least interested in criticism about the blog.
