Heat

Loyal don't wimp out on me. 29 palms in the late 60's 113 F, climbing hills looking for survey control points (no problem). Yesterday
setting grade stakes on my property (with the wife) 99 F. She did not complain.

OK the cold beer is waiting for you.

PS 1965,66 and 1967 in the jungles of Vietnam with full combat gear was very HOT also.

when I went to school; they taught us that 2016 - 1957= 59, where did you go to school?

:smarty:

Well Radar it has been 26 years since 1990. 43+26 = 69

1990 - 43 = 1947
2016 - 1947 = 69 ... ... ... OR 67 when you have hooves instead of fingers and toes to count on.
2016 - 1957 = 59 ... ... ... OR 57 for the same (bovines only) reason

John,

There was a time (in my youth) when I didn't mind the heat so much.

BUT, these days, you would need a team of Clydesdales to get me out of Big Nosed Kate's when it's that hot outside.

I am not as old as many here, I am older than a few, but I personally have found that as I age, along with the assorted bumps, bruises, and pains that entails, that I like the heat much better than the cold. The cool is nice, but the cold just gets into me and makes me miserable. The heat I can slow my pace and keep on slogging along.

The cold stinks to me. Those bad days trucking through snow, wind is hitting your face and you feel your eyebrows getting brittle like ice sickles and your hands wrapped in 2 gloves still are numb and feel like blocks of ice. Your toes hurt, almost burn bc they feel so cold.

I'd much rather the heat. At least here where it gets between 85-95 during the summer. I'll sweat it out.

Cold is better simply because more layers can be added until you look like Kenny (They killed Kenny!) in South Park.

Nobody wants to see me out strolling around along the highway or in your neighbor's backyard in gym shorts, flip flops and nothing else.

In my recently acquired "old age" I have taken to wearing something I never thought I'd wear...overalls. Onesies..Yep. They seem to fit my svelte school girl figure pretty well. I've got your "Big Smith" and "Oshkosh" (b'gosh)..and for formal occasions I wear my Carhartts, of course.

There is one drawback...other than dunking the shoulder straps in the crapper if your not careful. I dropped my wallet the other day by the cash register at the Piggly Wiggly...when I bent over to pick it up my overalls bit a rather precious part of my anatomy with all the vengeance of a pit bull on crack. I cried out and straightened up so fast I got light headed. Scared the hell out of the little girl running the register. Her and the sacker were trying to get me to sit down (because I was dizzy) and there was NO WAY IN HELL I'm gonna bend like that again until I can straighten out a few things! Jesus. It felt like a bear trap.

Things you learn as you get old...

As the Church Lady used to say on Saturday Night Live......................Well, isn't that precious?!?!?!?!?!

You could sell tickets in the front row for a repeat performance. I am certain of that.

Women simply do not understand and appreciate the necessity of rearranging such things from time to time no matter the makeup of the surrounding crowd. They'll say something crude about men being rude.................and then subconsciously adjust one or two bra shoulder straps without giving it a second thought.

If it means I don't gotta stand in the cold wind with sleet pelting me, I can close my eyes as you walk by!

I understand if you unzip your zipper you stay 20% cooler kinda like putting a hat on in the winter to keep warm. Makes sense when you think about it!

Man I love that kind of heat! I figure getting use to high temperatures will lessen the shock when I arrive in Hell. 😉

With all these posts I have realized one thing..... couldn't every day be partly sunny and 75?
