In my last job at a warehouse, temps hit over 100 degrees regularly. I found that giving in and packing only hot foods felt like losing a battle. A heavy duty cooler bag with frozen gel packs let me bring whatever I wanted, cold stuff stayed cold. That meant I could still enjoy yogurt or chicken salad without worrying about spoilage. Putting in a little extra effort with cooling gear beats changing your whole diet for the heat.

Just get a magazine and slide it under the little guy to take him outside.

Wait, your dad just fixed the fence without rushing? That's the wildest part to me. Honestly, I could never have that kind of patience, I'd be trying to slam the whole thing done in an hour. Tbh, it's kinda amazing that just watching someone work slow and steady actually fixed your work stress. I get so wound up trying to do everything at once that I just freeze. Seeing that it's okay to just do one thing, then the next, is a real mind shift. Ngl, I'm shocked it's that simple.

Look for cracks before every big ride.

Push back on @the_elliot's point a little. In my experience, a good flashlight often works better in those damp spots.
