the hotness

it is here. i have a tourney this weekend. supposed to be 102 degrees farenheit or something like that. do you guys do anything special to prepare?

i am going to gold bond my balls and buttock area real good. i am also going to drill holes in my cup to promote a cross breeze. i think it might void the warranty, and possibly effect the integrity/structure of the cup, but oh well.

i am also going to wear some spf creams and oils to help with ultra violent sun rays.

on friday night, i am going to try to drink 3 gallons of gatorade to get my hydration and electrolytes up to par.

you guys got any other suggestions or any gadgets that you would recommend to keep you cool in the hotness? :confused:

I didn't think it got that hot in your neck of the woods lou.

go to home depot and rent some messicans for the day to spritz ice waters on you.

tbow, it gets real hot in central WA. once you cross the mountains you get that cooler weather you were used to. we also get way more snow than the other side of the mountains during winter.


i never had coconut water. i might try it. 3 gallons might be expensive tho.

I am going to be playing in this same tournament in Lou's homeland. I am going to be playing RF in a 3 man OF as well. :( I am worried I might die but hopefully lou will give me CPR before I leave this world.

i feel sorry for the dudes in the south. that humidity is a killer. at least we got nice dry heat up here.

Yup, I'm G2G! It would be pretty cool if we see you in the championship. Let's make sure it happens. The weather is going to be stupid and the jerseys are going to make it that much worse. I will persevere with my Dwayne Wade cooling towel!!

100 with 99.9% humidity is worse than 100 with 10% humidity.

Hydrate hydrate hyrdate. If you aint pissin, you aint drinkin enough

remember to eat. bring a pickle. couldnt hurt to eat a banana for breakfast too

perfect. damn. i wish it was a three day weekend.. i'd come up.

bring a pair of shorts. there's a swimming area like 500 feet from the fields.

sleepy hollow is awesome. like 20-25 feet into a slow moving river. many summer days were spent there coercing girls into jumping topless.

nah it's up there five minutes from ww point in sunnyslope. like on your way to cashmere there's that road that goes across the highway at between snatch and monitor.. that hill.. turn left by that crappy motel as you're headed towards cashmere. it's like 500 feet off the highway. there's about 40 signs that say don't jump, but everyone does. i prolly jumped off that thing 200 times and never got busted

Is Cedars Inn G2G? I guess that's where we are staying. We aren't coming up until Saturday morning though.

I will bring the rig, no problem. I have a nice case for it. I will bring some flowers too. Are there any shops open in Wenatchee now?

I hope that swimming hole is close

we used to go tubing from cashmere to that bridge all the time then spend the rest the evening jumping off. many good times were had there. drove by it last time i was there and it wasn't as tall as i remember it being.

brewz you can swim like two feet away from the outfield fences from where you're playing, but there are always a billion kids over there. if you had a couple hours to kill though, i'd head up to sleepy hollow bridge. just google sleepy hollow road. don't **** up and jump where you can see the bottom though

Sounds like you have never seen the sun before! Its in the 90's daily here and gets in the 100's on occasion. Gold bold=YES, Water=Yes, sunblock=YES, these are standard out here. Good luck man.
