Thanks, yeah everyone around me has brown or natural or white fences, so i wanted something different and since i have a yellow truck i thought why not...
I am proud of it, it and the 4x8 5" thick slab i poured (thinking it was 18 bags of concrete and ended up being 45 and it was a very hot muggy day. I am not only proud of the work but also that i made it through without ending up in the hospital or worse from heat stroke, considering my health issues.
As hot as it has been i usually only go out from 6 - 8 am and then from 7:30pm till dark. Yesterday i went out at 7:30pm as usual and was watering the yard just enough to keep it alive. And all of a sudden i noticed i was sweating like crazy. It was still warm and i was hot but i was sweating way too much for the temp. All of a sudden the light bulb in my head came on and i said to myself "oh shoot im having a low, thats why im sweating so bad" i dropped everything and hussled inside water flowing off of me everywhere and took my blood test. Sure enough my glucose was 70 and i knew i had to get some sugar in me like right now because i know at 50 i can hardly walk or make decisions.
I drank some apple juice (goes right to the blood stream), cookies, a sugar pill, a small candy bar, and some water. In about 20 min i stopped sweating and felt so much better and finished watering outside. This was the first time a low has hit me outside with such force, at least now i know to expect it and be prepared.
