My Dad used to talk about threshing oats in this kind of weather. The men working in overalls and long sleeved shirts, then coming in for the noon meal of heavy food like fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy. All washed down with hot coffee, of course, then back to the field.

My typical summer wear is a lightweight cotton, long sleeve shirt in a light color and a wide-brimmed hat. I start out in the spring with a T-shirt and ball cap but by mid-June my forearms and the back of my neck are starting to look like Slim Jims.

The LS shirt and wide hat are definitely cooler than a T and ball cap. And it keeps the sun off me (one reason it's cooler).

Oh, and I could be considered an old guy at 62.

pair a shorts is good,and i don't wear shoes in months without n r in em.

Yeah, no long pants in the summer unless I absolutely have to.

The older I get, the harder the humidity is to take.
Yesterday wasn't so bad, I spend almost all day outside.
There are a few days coming up that look like dew points in the high 70's
I have plans to be wading in a trout stream on those days.
Stay hydrated

I am thankful for AC.

I still haven't got one of those thingamajigs yet

Too hot

30" northern,25"muskie with a back chunk missin plus found 2 rapalas.low water is great.

WTG man!

90's even up here in the hills.been floatin around that section of river for 40 plus yrs and don't remember it quite like this.

My grandfather wore WOOL long johns all year around ....crazy....helping him in hay mow i just couldnt fathom wearing that old itchy long johns sweating a stream. Gramps said when getting out of mow, the long johns cooled him....whatever...LOL

I woke up early to start processing firewood before it got too hot. I was back inside by 8am already.

Wool wicks pretty well. When I cycled (bicycle) a lot I wore will jerseys in the summer. While riding I would actually catch a chill.

^ I have been fencing and picking wild berries the last few weeks. I wore light long johns a few days and always have long sleeve, high collar sweater type shirts or a hooded sweatshirt with hood up and tied.

When down on river bottom it helps with mosquitos and the long johns for ticks. Socks need to be up over the pants also.

It has been hot but to me it does keep you cooler instead of having the sun beat down on bare skin. It does keep heat out of body keeping skin covered. IMO

fencing as in"touche"??

Hot all next week

I'm content believing if I was young skinny and had hair I would still be hot
