Brain fog sets in fairly quickly in high temperatures. Those of my viewers who don't experience temperatures in excess of 90F or 35C have probably never experienced it.
Working today in the bus it was very hot with high humidity. Outside the humidity was 90% and the temperature rose to 97F. Inside the bus was muggy and oppressive. In fact due to the weather I have had a headache all day.
So, working is a case of doing very small amounts in short periods with longer periods of rehydration and cooling down in the air conditioning. It was almost a case of doing one screw and having to retreat to the AC.
What happens is - while you're still cool, work goes well. As you warm up, work becomes more challenging and mistakes happen; things just don't go quite right and then brain fog sets in. That's when you can't see why it didn't go right. Some people at that stage would get angry and make more of a mess. I tend to stop and go to sit down to try to work out what's happening. Then I realise I'm just sitting there getting hotter and it's an effort to do anything. That's when I head indoors for fluids and cooling.
Today was one of those days. Forget making videos - that's just too much on top. Mind, doing one screw does not make an entertaining video.
Right now I have several projects on the go: 1. Underbus wiring for the micro machine lab. 2. Installing the micro machine lab 3. Putting shelves in two cupboard under the micro machine lab. 4. Brakelines - I still have not finished those. 5. Reworking a wiper mount I had to DIY. 6. Reworking one of my two backup camera mounts. 7. Moving the driver;'s seat back. It needs to go back further than I can adjust it.
Then there are all the electronics and machining projects I need to do. I could definitely do with another Covid shutdown. I got so much done during Covid shutdown. It took a month or two but I did get my parking area and driveway laid perfectly using just a wheelbarrow, shovel, rake and 50 tons of crusher run. I got on with quite a few other infrastructure projects on the homestead too. That was all before my back injury - that slows me down a lot. It makes going under the bus somewhat painful every time.
