Strange daze

Just a very brief posting here. Yeah.... unusual for me not to get all carried away with the verbage I know. A bodily change has taken place lately and, for me, it's a pretty damn strange thing. For decades it was quite normal for me to tolerate the heat quite well. I would be shivering cold if it got all the way down to the low 80's. On vacation one summer I slept most comfortably in a tent..... set up in the sun.... while covered with a poncho-liner. Temperature inside hovered near the 120 mark and I didn't even sweat.... it was comfortable. Now I seem to have become.... and I hate to use this term..... normal. I climbed up into the attic yesterday to run a new electrical wire down to the main break box. I wasn't all that hot up there..... perhaps 140 or 150F..... something that would not have bothered me at all just two years ago. I climbed down after being up there for perhaps a minute..... deciding that it might be better to wait for early morning to attempt the project. I have always been able to take the heat and this is just plain weird for me.

Now early on.... back in my late teens and early 20's..... I had no problem with the entire temperature range. 120 degrees inside a silo or oil tank on the Kansas plains..... or 53 degree water off the coast of southern California. Didn't matter. Three or four minutes of "getting used to it" and I was just fine..... even comfortable. Maybe this getting older stuff isn't all it's cracked up to be after all.
