Reached 500 flat drives and it changed my mind about doing them last

Everybody always says to bust out your flat work first thing in the morning. But after hitting 500 flat drives on a big garage slab in Portland running back and forth all afternoon, I think a late start gives better results because the concrete sets up more evenly in the afternoon heat. Anyone else find their best finishing happens later in the day?

130 degrees on a Willamette slab taught me the same lesson.

Four slabs doesn't seem like a huge deal though @alice808. I mean yeah it hurts but it's not like you fell off a roof or something. Lots of people bail on way sketchier stuff and walk away fine.
