Default Son of a bitch, this weather is PERFECT

Mid 80's with moderate humidity in the day and mid 70's right now with a calm breeze blowing throught the house. I wish it was like this all year.

I hear ya man it was a perfect day. To bad I was stuck inside working all day. Would have been a great day to take the t-tops off and go for a cruise. If it would only last.

If it was like this all year in Florida they would have to charge people to move here. Personally, I like it in the cooler months better.

Yup, it was like that around here also (mid to low 80's, excellent breeze). I was at the beach playing volleyball all afternoon. Man, I love this state.

California's doing okay this week too, after a month and a half of non-stop rain. It's been absolutely gorgeous the past three days. I used to love the wind and the rain... and I still do, but now that I've got a convertible I love the sun too.

I love FL too, that's why they didn't have to twist my arm to take the job here.

Same here too. At least I got paid for one day of doing nothing but sitting in the tower at the drag strip. 6 hours of free money, but today he called and told me not to come in but its the same thing I would have done in his shoes.

Yep, the weather was great yesterday except for the damn wind. 500 ft Da at the track, 64 degrees about 12 am, and under 50% humidity.
Hope it lasts a little while before the 90s and sticky summer air hits soon....
