Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well I am finally back to some semblance of normal! I have been doing what is called an Instructor block this week. Basically getting guys spooled up to be certified as NRA Rifle instructors. Then rolled right into a Defensive Carbine Class yesterday In the 100 degree heat on white gravel in the bay. Guys started dropping about1400 hours. I shut it down at 1530. There was no point the guys were whipped and completely goofy from heat. I try and try to explain to them the necessity of hydration but typically they all wait till it’s too late to start hydrating. I had a big shop fan and picnic tables under pop up, I have them rotate in and out of the sun in relays, while yours truly stands in the sun the whole time. Nobody makes fun of my big hat by the end of a sunny day! Hah!
Yep, I start hydration with a bottle of floor cool water (not cold) and then coffee, this heat has been crazy and you would sure think grown men know the procedure and wearing a big hat is a must to keep cool.
Lead by example is all you can do Hah!
Nice yesterday evening here and this morning.
