billybob Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 That is a PT serious snow blower. Down here we would repurpose the mower. Welcome! We will have hotter weather soon enough. At least on the coast we have the breeze helping somewhat with the humidity... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am familiar with cold weather. Choose to not subject myself to it. If it weren't for the hurricane potential in FL, I would consider it. We are not subject to big weather. Our bad weather is too much sun. LOL!! I still occasionally do the rustic style nose blow...........and my wife has broken me of doing it in a restaraunt.🤢 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dancers there were really dolled up and absolutely beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you, I was there. I now look at those dancers and don't quite find them as attractive now. OMG!! Just thinking......I joined the military 50 years ago!!!

Anything is better than living in the cold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii was my absolute favorite place to visit. I almost always stayed at the Ft Derussy Hotel in Honolulu. Drinks were very inexpensive there and I pounded down a lot before heading out into town. Thant was a long time ago and I don't even kknow if it's still there. It's the Hale Koa, and it's nice, and still as popular as ever. Rates are according to rank, the higher the rank the more you pay, but it is stiil a real bargain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Wonder how @dirtmudd is holding up after that "firehose" weather phenom that hit up his way. Gonna have to nose a bit I guess. Couple inches here and cold but that's normal. Seems as though the Farmer's Almanac is calling for a major snow storm here in March. Who know and who cares! Hit the grocery last nite and reloaded then slipped in for 'Jam Night" at the bar. Had my hearing aid in my right pocket (just in case some hottie wanted to talk. That always turns 'em on watching you put it on,) lol Got home and it wasn't in my pocket. Sooo back to Kroger and the bar parking lot w/my mini mag light looking. Nada. Went into the bar and yup I got lucky. On the floor to the side of the doorway. I wasn't in a panic or anything looking. hahahaha So yea, cold and typical garbage here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun K Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 13 hours ago, grasshopper said: it's all relative. After -25`, +25` IS warm. No coat, a flannel shirt is fine Exactly...25 feels lovely after the last few months up here, and come November, 25 will feel frigid for a few days until we adjust. Meanwhile in the summer, we'll still have 90+ days with high humidity and lots of thunderstorms. Actually looking forward to that adjustment 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
