My hats off, - couldn't do it, ...
« on: August 17, 2009, 07:38:33 AM »
Don't know how folks can live "down south", ... gotta give you a LOT of credit. It's about 94* here, was yesterday - and will be 96* tomorrow, probably when all is said and done, about 100* . .... Thankfully, fall is within sight, .... and snow is just fine, NO problem. ;)

Don't worry, you get used to it in about 30 years.

I was gonna take the Blackhawk out for her first hunt today but it was 90 degrees and so humid it was awful so I decided to stay inside and hide in the central air  :)

Well guys it is not that way where I live..:) I am located in the upper part of South Carolina. Sure we have humidity but not as bad as I remember it being in Southern California.

The thing is we get periodic rain and when it is 90 degrees out the humidity is not that bad. Some may complain..:) When I lived in Indiana the humidity was just awful. Nothing like that here..:)

I call this Paradise because the weather is not extreme. Not even in the winter. It gets down to freezing but only for a week or two.

Come on down here in this part of the state of SC and enjoy shooting when ever it does not rain.
THE ONES I SLEEP WITH: BSA Lightning XL, AA TX-200, AA ProSport, BSA Ultra, HW-97K, Crosman NPSS .177, FX Cyclone, HW-30 Nicle Plated, AA-S200, Crosman Marauder, CZ-634, R-9 DG, Webley/Scott UK Tomahawk, Benji Kantana, Benji Marauder, Benji Discovery.....

Sure glad I live in AZ. It was 93 today and if you were not in a hurry you never break a sweat. It is so dry here that sometimes the joggers set their hair on their legs on fire just by the friction of the air.

Yep. I'm sorry. I should have mentioned that I spent a month one week while in Opal Wyoming, in January, when the high was MINUS 14!!!! AND, the wind was howling. I thought I would surely die.

That first beath I took after leaving the Hotel room was the worst breath I have ever inhaled. My nose dried up and I had to buy all kinds of sprays just so I could breath, and that was when I was inside in the climate controlled building!

NEVER AGAIN will I venture north of I-20 in the winter.

Having never driven on a block of ice before, I'm sure I *_*_*_*_*_*ed off everybody in the area creeping along at 30 MPH below the limit. 18 wheelers were passing me driving one handed with the other arm out the window(in T-shirts I might add) flipping me off.

And by the way. It's is impossible to drive wearing Artic Pack boots.........

I went to school in Michigan, and lived two miserable glacial years in northern Ohio. It is hot like hell in Texas sometimes, but I was never more totally disgusted than having to shovel snow, scrape windows, and stay indoors for six months of the year.

To each his own, but I HATE the long, dark, icy winters and having to drive on salty roads. Give me the heat any day. I was in Chicago last weekend, and when it hit 90 Saturday, they were wilting. Seemed cool to me.

It got to about 75 here today. Mid 70s to low 80s the rest of the week, the occasional shower in the afternoon. Lows around 50 at night. I might need an extra 'blankey' tonight. It you have the lungs for it, life is pretty pleasant at the foot of the "big hills."   8)

I shoot both inside & outside year 'round, - but a bit less outside in winter. I also REALLY enjoy snowshoeing over in the Monadnock Region, - kinda  tuff to do during the summer. ;)
