I miss the warm weather of Florida so much I can taste the humidity....so we all want something we can have I guess....LOL

BTW it’s been raining here in Massachusetts since Friday and the news just said rain and 50's all week. I think the track closes for the winter at the end of the month.

I'm jealous of their temps now, but I won't be in a few months.

****, me and Loudmouth LS1 sweated our sacks off yesterday trying to hook my kit up.

Fuggin 90 degrees, NO BREEZE, no clouds, and plenty of steam (it rained, then the sun came right out). There were sweat inprints on my cloth car seats. The **** is driving me batty. And Devon was cool about it and never complained about it, unlike me.

BTW by this time next year, I won't be complaining about the 5 month steam sauna. 'Cause I will be further north. I can't wait.

Yeah the cold gets old, but so does the humidity.

Hehehe, that's my sista talkin'. Don't forget that cold dry nippy autumn air that hits your nostrils when you go out the front door.

I guess that's would be like a nitrous hit to the sinuses

Yeah, like I said, sorry about sweatin my *** off all over ur car dude! The reason I didn't complain is cuz i'm used to it, I work outside all day and sweat my *** off and do it everytime I work on my car too, so I guess i've just gotten used to it, ya know?

You know it, fall is calling me now!! The body knows it's fall in NE...........I may take off a week next month and go up there. I miss that **** so ******* bad it makes me hate FL even more I am not settled here anymore, not warm and cushy but I have 2 yrs to stick it out with my compromise to my other half. Then we can get the hell outta here.

Now I would agree with that....I hate the heat but will not go that far north.

Georgia and the Carolinas, here I come. Now I know they have heat and humidity, but at least the **** don't last 5-6 months

Can't argue with that. Florida has 2 modes-Heaven and Hell.

The sour note is that when the weather here gets perfect, the Blue Hair Squadron invades our roads and fug up traffic

This is why I moved out of south Florida Never regretted that choice.

Claire,

North is great, especially when my family visits Maine. 70s during the day in June! But you can't beat year-round driving weather here in the rainy/sunshine/f'ing hot state!

I would have paid $20 to watch Devon running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, sweating his *** off

funny the people that have been in the south most of their life wanna go up north .

the people from the north like myself will never move back up north. rather sweat than be forced indoors cause its too cold outside.

its noticeably cooler now, we'll have perfect race weather in a just a few weeks.


Quick Reply: anyone else jealous of the cold air up north?
