Remember it will be cold again

 

[backlash]

I'll take cold over hot any day.

I'll take cold over hot any day.

Me too. At least with cold you can bundle up to warm up.

 

[Spikedriver]

I'll take cold over hot any day.

Nope. Heat sucks but I can drink water and be just fine. Wool socks, insulated boots, and 37 layers of clothes won't keep me warm in an Iowa winter wind - and my clothes are the good stuff. I'll take the heat any day...

Me too.
The warmer it is, the less my joints hurt. 93° is perfect.
Cold temps make them horrible!
Guess where I live?

Did I mention that it rains a lot here?

 

[Amish Heart]

Oh, wow, 93 is good? I went to visit mom today and she's in her apartment with a Christmas sweatshirt on. She's never hot. We had a welcome overcast this morning, and a few sprinkles here and there. Hoping for more tonight.

7:30 PM here and it just dropped below 90...

@Supervisor42 how would this make your joints feel?

It's a screenshot of the Des Moines, Iowa weather for January 6, 2014. I was working at the Short Line rail yard on the East side of Des Moines at that time. The winter of 2013-2014 was one of the coldest on record, and there was almost no snow to insulate the ground from the cold.

Pay close attention to the high temp, the low temp, and the sustained wind speed. A polar bear won't get warm in that weather. The ground froze so deep that it ruptured many of the old water mains on the east side and they couldn't be fixed until the thaw. I haven't been able to handle the cold since that year.

This would be me, minutes after getting out of the truck there :

Supervisor, we're in the same state. LOL. But I lived in Virginia when I was little and loved the snow. My dad hated it bc he had to shovel the snow away and drive on icy roads. But I would run my happy behind all over the yard in a snow suit sledding down the hill, making snow angels & then run back inside when I felt too cold to get some hot cocoa.
It was 82° on the way home from the store today so not bad.

As a complete aside, did you ever see the commercials for "laissez les bon temps rouler". It never showed the faces but had feet and a woman saying "How come you don't take me out no more now dat my teef all done fall out?" or something like that. I think it was a dance and zaidaco music place.

I know this is a product image, but if I could stand being outside and I could have a covered bbq area, I'd want something like this:

Of course I'd want some counter space, some seating, and a gazebo type thing over top. Might not necessarily have it so shiny but I like the layout and features.

Someone else posted pics of a fishing trip. My dad loved to go diving. This one is of him at an underwater pumpkin carving dive.

And these are from a fishing trip. Redhead is a friend close to my brother's age. My bro is in the middle and dad on the right. Over 20yrs ago on Guam.

I think those were wahoo we caught (I was taking the picture).

This was me trying on some bibs at the Bass Pro several years ago.

Did they let you back into the store after that?

 

[INresponse]

I had to move out of state.

I want a talking dog!

 

[zannej]

Haertig, did you ever see the WC Fields routine where he used ventriloquism to make it seem like a dog was talking?

 

[hashbrown]

One of our friends brought us a chicken hat!

 

[rice paddy daddy]

I never did this before.
I can’t see if my photo is in the reply box or not.
Here goes!!

I have not seen that. I will try some Google searching and see if it turns up anywhere. Thanks.

Somebody didn't listen!
