I have been working out side 16 hours a day since Sunday at my house, and helping out others on my street, and doing my best to get roof patches on houses before the rain comes back this weekend. You try that with out any cold drinks and at best hot dogs to eat. I have been eating peanut butter, beef jerky and folks giving me meals for the work. I choose to do it this way ‘cause I can and don’t need much. Don’t get me wrong I am not just a begger off the street I work hard and make good money. I told my wife and kids to stay with her folks near Austin until power is stable and food is good suply. For now it is like a long camping trip just trying to help those who need it. But for some jerk who lives somewhere where 80 degrees is summer, yes we have been blessed with some cool weather for now but just think about doing actual work with out the thought of a cood (not always cold) drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get a big ol box of powdered gatorade if you can. It is life sustaining in a crisis. Any thing over a quart a day of strong( 1 1/2 times the recommended strength )will keep you up and running.
Good luck to you guys....
