Overheated Roofer

I'm tearing off a very steep roof at the moment. Of course, we, uber-roofers that we are, have to pick the HOTTEST MONTH in Florida to do this. We just love to fry our brain cells.

And how hot is it?

It's so hot, Ranger Buddy wanted to do a handstand...with his head in the cooler.

It's so hot that I only grunted when someone asked me "Are you hot?" (Usually, I would say, "I stay hot, baby!)

It's so hot the shingles were melting under my shoes and burning the bottom of my feet as I tried to balance myself on an 8-12 pitch.

It's so hot I wanted to join Ranger Buddy in his attempt to do the handstand with head in bucket feat. That would make a cool (OUCH, OUCH, wrong word!) pic for my site, though, wouldn't it? Kick-ass roofer with head in bucket while doing handstand....

There is no hotter or nastier job I can think of than taking off a roof in the dead heat of summer. Maybe doing hot tar on the roof or road...that one is pretty nasty too. I hate carrying buckets of that stuff up a roof, knowing that if I sway just a little (and I usually do, with my short legs), splatters of hot tar will spill out and get on me. And tar burns are NO FUN.

Then I come home and the air-conditioned house is Bliss. Paradise. There's no place like home ;-). Of course, I'm too brain-dead to even want to write these last couple of days. I should be doing that, while I wait for SOME COMMUNICATION about my proposal.

So, instead, I've been messing around in cyberspace. I have recently updated my GEM page with photos from the RWA convention. Lots of pics of authors at Reno! Here is the link: http://gennita-low.com/GEMs.asp It was just a grand week--no HOT roofs, just hot babes boogieing and eating too much chocolate! I made a lot of new friends and hot contacts...maybe a collaboration or two coming up in the future, you never know!

Okay, this hot roofer is going to take an ice-cold shower....
