    I'll have to video the steam coming off of me in the winter when I'm out there using the tractor to remove snow. :D

    Yea, 70 is my breaking point. It was 93 the other day. To me it felt like 293. I can comfortably wear shorts and a tshirt down to 50. Lower with no wind.

    Our thermostat here is set to drop to 65 when we sleep and we have a ceiling fan and a stand fan in the bedroom.

    70 degrees though is perfect Daniel as long as the humidity is nonexistent.

    Naw just some N/A stuff and tuning. Like with all OE stuff they leave a lot on the table even tuning to a "safe" zone. The new HP tuner stuff is what has me seriously considering it now. Before with the expense of the URD one it was kinda a mute point.

    Same here! 65 with the ceiling fan on high! I remember sending @Justanotherhemi a pic last fall of my flip flops with the temp at 34 degrees! :rofl: I wear shorts and a t-shirt year round. I have even snow blown in shorts...:anonymous:

    I would melt if I had to deal with high humidity. :bananadead: Lucky for me I live in a desert region, :tumbleweed:so humidity is usually in the teens or low twenty's and sometimes even single digits when the heat turns on. Yesterday was 99 with 18% humidity.

    That's great weather we've seen that temp already with 60+% humidity. Heat index over 110. It's just part of living in the SE

    What is this "hoomididy" you speak of? Oh, that thing that makes you feel like when you wear a shirt into the swimming pool all the time? Yeah, I don't miss that.

    I grew up in CA and legit didn’t know humidity existed until I joined the navy and got stationed in FL. I learned real quick.

    LOL, My poor mom was along for the ride while my dad was stationed 3 times in Alabama. Plus a 3 year stint in the Philippines. She's pretty done with the humidity thing for a girl that grew up in arid Eastern WA

    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.
