DANG! It's HOT!
Dang it's hot. Here I am dreaming of a nice January cold front while I sweat my butt off in this heat and humidity. I hate the heat! It is too hot to shoot, BBQ, or fish and that is too damned hot!

Wiz, here's a big drink of cool water headed your way! I am a fat desk bound teacher not used to the heat...ironic since I grew up in Florida...and every summer it seems to get worse. I did the brakes on my Volvo 240 last week and thought I was going to keel over from the heat near the end.

This isn't too bad compared to the year I moved to Dallas (lived there for 8 years). The day I got there was the first day of 37 consecutive days over 100, most of them around 105, a couple over 110. Talk about miserable.... So now I live in Tampa and my shop has a tin roof. Shot it with the heat gun the other day and it showed 146 degrees. The radiant heat is slowly sucking the life right out of me. One of these days I'll get sick of it and throw a suspended ceiling in there.... then insulation.... then a couple tons of A/C.... then buy stock in TECO..... lol

I hate the heat. I grew up in Homestead and I still hate the heat. I also hate the humidity. It wouldn't be SO bad if we had some change in the weather but in Homestead it is just always hot and humid.
I went shooting today. We had a real humdinger of a "shoot". Put 1000 rounds through the CETME, 500 rounds through the Valmet M76 and another couple thousand through assorted handguns and shotguns. My shoulder is really sore. I was drinking pretty much all the time during the day and sweating until I was dripping in sweat. Near the end of the day I got cramps in my side. This is a sure sign of dehydration in my body. I had to call it a day as the cramps were so bad I couldn't hold a handgun up. Ever since I became diabetic I cannot take sport-drinks so it is water or nothing for me. I hate the heat. I have been dreaming of Great Smokies National Park all summer.

mike, try eating bannanas for the cramps...that's if it's allowed in your diet. as far as the heat is concerned, i always say that a/c is the best thing man has ever invented. sure, the wheel is in the top 5, or even maybe #2, but as far as i'm concerned, i'll take the a/c...

yes, i hear you about andrew. it's amazing that it's been this long. we actually left around 5pm the night before andrew hit. we were planning to stay, but at the last minute we moved our butts...we couldn't find a hotel anywhere, so we stayed at a rest stop somewhere in west palm...it was packed full of people running from the hurricane w/no place to crash. hot, humid and hungry but we made it back. yes, my house had no roof as well. and a/c was the only thing i was thinking about. (after i learned that all my friends and family members were doing well...)
