Seriously - Think about it. All the hardest, most time consuming, and most tedious jobs always seem to come into fruition at the hottest, sweatiest, and in my particular case ... the most disgusting month of the entire lineup of the 12-month period we call the "year".
And I'm sick of it ! When a buddy called me to help him dig a septic tank hole by hand a few years back, it was in mid-August. When my cousin asked me to drop everything to remodel her bathroon in an un-air-conditioned rent house, it was August 15th of 2005. And today a neighbor is begging for assistance with digging a trench across our caliche and limestone gravel road to plant a culvert that I donated for the project some 3 years ago. We could have done this ANY month within that timeframe, but last week .... about the 15th, I'm sure .... he decided it's time to do it - RIGHT NOW !
So here we are in this oppressive Texas August heat, with humidity of upwards of 80%, sweatin' our lungs out, when in just another 3 to 4 weeks we'd be looking at our first wave of cooling frontal passages & gentle fall breezes. Nope .... That would make life too easy I guess.

Yeah,tell me about it. I too, have a long laundry list of "honey do's" that seem to peak at the worst time of the summer months.
