Spent the day fencing until I got dizzy

- I was so close to being finish with one side of the property. I got a bad headache and started getting dizzy. Tomorrow, I’ll finish one side in the morning, then start driving t-posts for the other side. It will be in the shade till about 11:00 am. The meds I’m on say to stay out of the sun. There’s no way to avoid the sun unless I work at night. I did that for 25 years. Not working nights again.
As many years as the post office has been in operation you would think it would be seamless, but definitely not the case.
The fence looks great, but with the heat it’s really easy to get dehydrated or a heat stroke.
Have a blessed weekend you two!
@@WillowsGarden it use to be seamless u til they started promoting people into management based on criteria that has nothing to do with ability.
Mr Brad good job on the fencing project, sweating hard can cause dehydration which brings on headaches and dizziness.
Please rest in air conditioning and get water back into your body.
Blessings
Be careful today, my friends. Prayers for both of you this morning. I know that urgency feeling of just a little more to get it done when it's well past time to sit in front of the fan on the porch. Yet, knowing full well it isn't an emergency that must be taken care of. PLEASE listen to that little voice when it says STOP today.
That said, fence does look good. A lot better than ours, when we fenced in a pasture to keep goats. Back then, if a tree wasn't available for a fence post, we had to dig a hole. Didn't know anything about t-posts and drivers. Your fence stretcher is a heck of a lot better than our DIY, too.
Both of you will be in my thoughts and prayers, as today progresses.
God Bless. Godspeed on this continuing journey.
@@oldtimerlee8820 9:00 am and I’m still sitting. I can’t believe I let the coolness of early morning escape me.
That fence looks really good. I'm glad that you decided to stop for the day. You are retired this is not a job that you are getting paid for and just has to be done. Hope you are recovering nicely in the shade.
@@ChiefAUS I’m going to work far less today.
My dad has had 9 back surgeries! They are like Pringles! Once you pop, the fun don't stop! The fence looks great!
@@Wrenchesandrods my younger brother, out of all the people I know that have had back surgery, is the only one that came out good.
Fence is looking good.Have a good Saturday.
Thanks, you too!
When I send a package I include a dupe Address label on the inside in case it goes to the WRONG address or the outside address becomes unreadable. If it was November you could have done it a LOT faster. That's why SIESTAS were invented. Shade, Water, Rest every 15-20 minutes in extreme heat. Happy Day in the shade!
@@stevekundzala676 ha! As if I can last 15-20 minutes! I do a little work, sit on my gator, a little more, sit on my gator. I hung a blanket up
In my gator to keep the sun off me when I sit.
I can remember dads homemade fence stretcher. 2x4s and a bumper jack.
@@TheWatchmanNews old school is the best school!
Your fence stretching device is just like the ones my Dad made over the years, although he bought 2 2 x 6's and didn't rip a post into 2 parts. Works great. Those home made tools usually are much better than what you can buy at the store.
And once you’re done with them, the likelihood of needing again it anytime soon is very slim.
@@bctruck We just bought a tool from a local lumber yard and it broke within 2 hours . Dad hung his fencing tool in the barn on the wall and it is still there 40 years later. Still in good shape, still works and he used it many times over the years for his own farm and for helping others with fencing. It's a good thing to be a practical inventor.
Fence is looking great.
@@dhimmel2894 thanks!
It's a wet heat. Take care of yourself. Most of our medical calls right now are heat related. Watch your supervisor for clues, if he's up on the porch panting in the shade, you should be too.
I’m finally in the shade. Most of what I have left to do is in the shade.
fence lookin good
my wife is always picking up sticks in our yard too
She won’t let me mow our yard because I refuse to pick up sticks that I can mow over.
You should’ve been a Farmer or Rancher! You good buddy! 👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸
Maybe in an air conditioned tractor.
I put up a bit of that fence once. Had NO idea what I was doing! I didn't know about pullers, but I figured something like that was worth trying. I used rebar and rope. It didn't come out great, but it let my dog enjoy some yard w/o a leash, and kept the kids from picking all the flowers!
Have you ever seen pieces of RR track being used as corner posts? That's wild.
I line make my fence tight enough to play a tune on. I’ve never seen RR track corner posts.
I was really disappointed when you didn't wear the fencing uniform! lol You are a better man than me Brad. At those temps, I wouldn't have set foot outside the door. I can take heat, I worked over 40yrs in a glass factory but now I choose not to.🙂 Hope you can finish up while it is still cool. Here in the mornings it is much cooler but the humidity is so high everything is wet. Take a break and eat some BACON for me. Phil
Knocked off early today. Tomorrow, I’ll have 200 feet finished with 200 more to go. I can’t get to the next 200 until we do some serious brush clearing.

😂😂 truth!!!
Ignorance is skin deep, but stupidity goes clear to the bone!
😂😂😂
Postal management, the ones I’ve met range between apologetic for the stupid ones, or over the top arrogant.
@@JimsEquipmentShed the lady at mine fits into the arrogant category.
12:48 I didn't know that was a thing, so I just put a pair of 4x4 posts in. lol
You have to look hard to find the place I connected them.
Shipping by USPS is not rocket science, it’s much worse. And when tracking actually works you can see why. To be fair, I’ve had this happen on Amazon and AliExpress, so it’s universal, not just in the US. We are not going to make it, are we?
@@onesky8647 it use to be so dependable. When they started promoting people solely based on their professed ideology, that when everything started going to shiezer.
does the seller put your address inside the box as the intended recipient
@@LARRY-kp9xm I have no idea. First time buying anything from this person.
Brad, haven't you learned never to ask your wife what six inches looks like? 😂😂😂
@@Wrenchesandrods I’m just glad she didn’t show me with her thumb and index finger. She never has enough space between the two.
@@bctruck 🤣🤣🤣
Comment
Can you check to see if anyone in Port Jarvis has the same name as your customer?
It’s my name. I bought it on eBay.
@@bctruck
I’m lost. Are you sending or receiving this package? ( it doesn’t really matter when it’s lost I guess)
…….never mind. Trying to explain this horrible malfunction is too stressful.
I never thought we would ever have a conversation like this about our postal service.
If it wasn’t for knowing the local tax collector and having decades of regular payments under my belt, this mess could have cost me plenty. She actually called to check on me and we figured out what was going on.
The new guy lost everything!!! Documents, checks, the works! I lost the early payment discount. It could have been a lot worse. Like having the Sheriff , to my astonishment, auction off my home!!
My tax lady is older than me. I dread losing her. May she ,at least, out live me.
Here’s one; My electric company changed everyone’s account numbers. They sent critical correspondence out to tell customers in advance.
Mine was lost in the mail.
The bill didn’t show up. I called the electric company. They couldn’t look into it because I’m still using my previous account number. USPS lost the correspondence concerning the change and that month’s bill, leaving me in anonymous limbo.
I’m still angry. It was a nightmare. I’m offended for my country over this. It’s a breach of trust that must be dealt with.
This is all too stressful. How about we take my jet to a balmy tropical paradise and boil shrimp on the beach?
As soon as I win the Power Ball.
@@chopsddy3a breach of trust is the perfect description of this total failure. It’s almost as disheartening as a cop the violates the public’s trust.
@@bctruck
Yes. It’s about the same.
Taking a job position you are utterly incapable of doing, and holding that job, is theft.
Absolutely!
