The Lair

Not funny Conner!

 

Yea I lived there once from July to September when I just got out of high school. Between the heat, the humidity and those damn giant/flying palmetto cock-a-roaches I couldn't take it.

I often wonder if I could make it in a place like Texas? It would have to be pretty dry.

But then I remember the wife and I's trip to Vegas, in September. Everyone said the same thing........ "yea but it's a dry heat" ! Fuckers. I was so freaking miserable at night. And like a fool, because we were only there 3 nights and going out to dinner and such, I only took long pants, dress jeans, and button down shirts. The first morning there we bought close to $400 of shorts and t shirts in one of the hotel stores. About the only relief was the fact that you can walk around with your drinks outside. So I became great friends with those 2' long yard glasses of frozen concoctions!

We did New Orleans in September too. Had a freaking blast. I will only go back to Nawlin's in whatever they call their winter. I thought Florida was bad! There is a whole new world of humidity down there with them being below sea level.


The best place I've ever lived was Hawaii, on Oahu. Yes it rains every day, and it can get hot but for the most part it is damn near perfect, and just about 70 degrees year round.

 

You are not sane. You wouldn’t go to trial if you claimed insanity.

 

And all I can think of is


I am not built for winter nor do I enjoy it. As soon as the weather turns warmer I am game. Even in the dog days of summer I am good.

 

I hate being hot, I also hate the cold. My ideal temperature is 54 degrees. If it could stay that way all the time, I would be a happy camper.

 

I've done the polar bear plunge 3 times. Not saying my old ass could handle it now but that was when I was your age

 

What're you talking about, you and skip are probably the same age!

 

My neighbor back in Manassas was a NSF researcher that did some time down in the Antarctic. They had the "300 club"

 

See, that's a great temp! Yes, I will still sweat but i can cool off faster. Once it gets over 80 and I start that's it. I sweated watching Randall and Tyler install my lift. And not because I had anything to fear either. (just wanted to add that)

 

Oh yeah, my office is like 76* during the summer. I started pit staining after moving a chair from one side of my office to the other. Any hotter than about 60 and I get leaky at the drop of a hat.

 

Must be all that bitchin' and moanin' he does made me think he was much younger.

Honestly though, why did I think he was your age? He's not 57!

 

That is an excellent question Rob. Skip is what, late 30s? Hell, @FadedComa is like 103

 

Damn wait till you all get to be my age.

 

Meanwhile I'm taking a sweater to work while it's mid 90s outside. I swear its in the mid 60s in there.

 

For all intents and purposes Jim, you're basically a ghost.

 

Crazy bastards must be the vikings they are nuts.

Only bitchin' I'm doing is that I don't get enough free time.

Yes you are correct and B is father nature so he's older than that.

 

I'll be lucky to make it to your age.

 

I’ve gotten to where I wear two shirts at work. Keep a sweatshirt in the truck.

 

That's what I need to start doing, is just leaving it at work. The struggle is finding something comfortable that doesn't look ridiculous with dress pants and a button up shirt. The sweater I've been wearing has only been when I wear polos to work.
