Hi Vicki,
 
Was just reading your message to Debby and I just had to comment:
 
VN>DT> I can usually take the heat if the humidity is low.  I've
VN>DT> overdone it and gotten sick twice in the last couple of
VN>DT> weeks.  I bought some of those scarves that you soak in
VN>DT> water and they swell up and keep you cool, and really like
VN>DT> them especially if they spend a couple of hours in the
VN>DT> refrigerator before I go out.
 
VN>     Buy some Gatorade or bottled water.  FREEZE it.  Take it with you; 
you'
VN>have lots of cold liquids, and it'll cool you off.
 
I didn't realize it was just as hot for you as it is here for us.  Hats
off to you both for working those horses out in the heat, I know I can
stand the heat but with the humidity factor that's just way too much.
I help my boyfriend and his Mom with the goats at some of these county
fairs this time of year and I'll keep in mind your helpful ideas.
 
VN>     What a coincidence!   My Chevy pickup just rolled over 223,000 miles
VN>today. I noticed it as the oil is due to be changed in 300 miles.  But the
VN>compressor on the A/C locked up a few weeks ago, and that's the SECOND one 
i
VN>26 years.  So I am in the process of tearing it off and getting a whole 
ew
VN>conditioner. I refuse to drive anything next summer with no A/C - well, 
exce
VN>the CJ with the bikini top.
 
Got another coincidence for you, I too am a Chevy pickup owner, but I
don't have quite the amount of mileage you have, not even close.  You
should enter your truck in the 100,000 mile club(Just kidding).  But I
have say that I am grateful for my truck it has really been a lifesaver
for me, I've been thru the floods here in Sacramento County, CA and an
auto accident-semi T-bone/semi head on(would have been head on if I
hadn't turned the wheel so hard trying to avoid him-I had the right of
way and I couldn't see him until too late because a city of Roseville
utility truck blocked my view) and I also had a blowout on the freeway
without flipping over.  My truck is an S-10 pickup/extended cab. Just
had to add a comment or two to your note.
 
Becareful in the heat, Both you and your animals.
