Also i'm not trying to make you northerners jealous but yes pretty day and I had to take my coat off while I was working got a little warm, haha don't hate me. Seriously I couldn't live up there, yall are hard.

    Nice haul Lex!... And 60 degrees here is still cold. I heard rumors that there were a few snowflakes spotted here in central Florida! Can you imagine? Time to move a little farther south.

    Is that a Carson trailer? Looks exactly like my trailer except mine is white. If so you and I have the same rigs! 3rd gen 4runners and 4x8 trailers with the drop down gate for easy appliance loading. What year is the runner? Mine is a 97.

    with all due respect, Florida is nice just for a VERY short time- after that it gets unbearably hot

    compared to the blistering heat, id take freezing cold weather any day to do physical labour.

    im in super sunny Durban, South Africa
    we are going through summer right now with humidity levels that are crazy (though we have been having a relatively cool summer SO FAR)
    temperatures around 26 deg Celsius & humidity around 65%- normally its so humid you feel you cant even breathe- like 85%

    and i try to avoid working outdoors during this weather but when its cooler- im like the Energiser bunny- i can go on & on....

    Trying to remember grade school conversion formulas... multiply by 9, divide by five, add 32? Sounds right...

    So 26 x 9 is 251, divide by five is 50.2, then add 32 yields 82.2 degrees F???

    This is %100 true. Hotter than africa here, sounds about right. Summer can get like 90+ with %80-90 humidity, yeah. I've been to honduras before and it was unreal hot way worse than here it was crazy, walk outside and you're sweating in like 2 mins doing nothing in the shade.

    Florida heat is no joke. Visited my family in the summer one year, and did some work outside in the shade.
    I just about dehydrated.



    I suppose living in ky for some years now, my body cant handle florida humidity anymore; And I lived in the south most of my life.

    But I cant say Im use to the north either.

    I still wear my big coat when it gets below the 40s. Above that, I wear my flannel.

    I do travel to indianapolis from time to time. I call it the north pole.
