We all wish for a flail mower attachment! We have a John Deere 85 hp cab tractor that gets maybe 5 hours a year put on it for random stuff, but we know we could get an attachment for that to make right of way maintenance more enjoyable. But the powers that be above us keep shutting that idea down. They did just approve a $160k for a 6-yard mulch blower for us to purchase. But 86-ed our $85k skid steer request for the third year in a row. Funny though, they allowed us a $9k skid steer trailer last year and new 2021 F-350 last year in anticipation of the skid steer… 
I just had Pedialyte (or sports drinks with electrolytes) recommended for hot weather. Apparently when you sweat, you lose electrolytes which can lead to dehydration. I’m definitely going to add this to the assortment in my cooler.
Gatorade has a new electrolyte drink. Pretty good. Also check out Liquid IV power packets that you add to a water bottle

Guys. The best way to replace electrolytes (fancy word for salt) is to eat a large pickle every night before bed. Works wonders. Used to drink pickle juice every day when I was a wrestler and couldn’t wear it drink a whole lot. Great for cramps, too.

Hey @AUSSIE speaking of hot weather, for years I’ve heard of stories of some cutoff Limit with heat in Australia when it gets to a certain temperature staff get to go home fully paid. Is this a true story or some made up Bs?
99.5 degrees. I remember Dad talking about it and getting annoyed when the locals quit working

i had no other symptoms, but i guess it could still be that.
A couple of years ago there was a big bruhaha about pro football players drinking pickle juice to deal with cramping during summer training sessions. I learned about it in the army.
Believe it or not, some capitalist decided to market it
