Back in 1976 we were doing a roof job in down town during the week of our local festival and back then the biggest parade of the week was on Friday where now it on Saturday. Anyway we had to tear off two layers of asphalt shingles and one layer of old and very dry cedar shingles. It was in the high 90s and all four of us were without shirts. Between the sweat and black dust guess what color we were. That Friday we were one block away from where that parade ended so half of the floats and half of the bands all came by us. Lots of hollering, waving and laughing. My sweet and brand new wife was picking me up each night and I had an old blanket I would put on the seat and we would go to where some friends of ours were renting on a lake and I would just walk out into the lake with my bar of soap and come back out a white guy again.

If you had spent 363 days wearing 180# of outerwear you would want to take your shirt off too! :)
