I think the perspective and tolerance gets worse as you age in Texas.
But honestly, when I think about the routine during the summer, it's more tolerable than most paint it to be.
You try and get any outside work done before noon.
Between 2-6 is a no go and if you are outside, you need shade and a bottle of water and preferrably a breeze. Our back yard is fortunate to be fully shaded by trees and I installed a fan.
That's the way it is for 10 weeks.
