Hotter then a mustard fart

I now know why they call it "Hotlanta", Memphis is just amazingly hot. At 10:00 p.m. it was still 92 degrees. I spent most of the morning trimming the hedges with my Black and Decker 16 inch hedge trimmers when all of the sudden they froze up. I figure that a branch had gotten jammed. So I spent about 20 mintues taking them apart to try and un-jam them, and of course they don't use normal screws, I had to dig around to find my "star" shaped un-screwer. I had most of it apart and couldn't find anything wrong with it. So I spent another 45 minutes running up to Home Depot and buying new ones. I got home and plugged them in and still nothing was happening. So I figured I had blown a fuse, after checking the fuse box still nothing. So i finally pulled a "Clark Griswald" from Christmas Vacation and unplugged the extension cord and plugged it back in really HARD and the extension cord snapped in half from where I had trimmed right through it. Of course I couldn't get the old set of trimmers that were perfectly fine before I started messing with them back together, I had to many screws and washers left over. So I ended up throwing them away along with a once perfectly good extention cord. And because of the Home Depot delay I ended up not finishing up until about 12:30 when the heat index was 110 degrees and almost getting heat stroke.
