I don't like my drifit underwear being soaked.... I stopped wearing a belt because I've become too fat and I told myself I'm not buying any more clothes bigger... My drifit shirt doesn't catch my sweat because I don't tuck in my shirt anymore.... All this humidity you'd think I'd lose weight but I still look like @dealtimeman ...........FML! :lol:

Over here in Georgia, it's pretty bad. I go through a shirt per job, and sometimes I'll change my pants and undies. That's the only way to tolerate the hot humidity: in dry clothes.

I've tried that high tech absorbent shirt/polyester. Those are made for golfers only. All they do is wick the sweat to the surface and let it run down to your pants. My pants are so soaking wet when I wear those shirts, it's just stupid. I'm a cotton man. Absorb that sweat and leave it there. Unlike that Polyester crap

Maybe we need some comments from some of our vegetarians out there. I've been told that on a vegetarian diet, you sweat less and don't stink as much as a heavy meat eater. Any validity to that.

Yea, I try to start early and finish before it gets too hot.

I also carry extra clothes on the van and just change as much as I can.

I'll be glad when September get here.

I don't think I would convert but I am trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat. I love animals, I think they are all delicious but as you age, sometimes, you don't need as much as you did when you were younger. Trying to eat more fruits and veggies and drink more water than beer.

Well we went for a quick trip to grab some drinking water, it is greener than green here, Redding is HOT but dry heat, it is a big difference. The weather here feels like a my jobs when I'm cleaning and adding all the moisture to the room.
I also noticed that folks are out making money, as we sat and had a bite to eat I watched all the new cars going by on the road, landscapers doing there jobs.
A LOT of brick homes here really cool to see it, Oh and a LOT of GRASS you gotta have a riding mower here for sure dam they have some yards here

Anywhere I look, it constantly comes up on all the lists: the best weather in the US is right here in SoCal.
Sorry Nate, even Hawaii doesn't score as well with people.

It is just so perfect all year round, especially by the Pacific Ocean.

Weather may be the best, but we don't need to build any walls here........:shifty: Hell, we get sent other state's homeless....

Our "White Elephant" Trans Rail system is the biggest waste of taxpayers money.... Whoever's math they used most certainly went to public school.....:hopeless:

I really wouldn't know what to do if I had to clean in low-to-no humidity or if it got below 50°.......:headscratch:

Ive been to Hawaii once. I didnt like the weather at all.

We've been in a heatwave for about a week now. 90s and80% humidity every day. That storm cooled it off but they say it will just make it worse in an hour.

No real break in sight.

Pretty much Chicago weather has to be the worst..

-10 in the winter and humid as fook when it gets hot(90+). When it is nice out, the flipping mosquitoes kill the joy in being outside. Just the worst, sucks all the time.

Tomorrow 90 and 71% humidity. When it's hot, our weather is a lot like down south.

I usually carry bottled water in a cooler and a couple of extra shirts. Put your shirts in the cooler too. It's super refreshing to pull on a cool t-shirt

First job I had out of college was headquartered in Chicago. They sent me there for training in June. I was so looking forward to getting out of the Alabama heat and humidity.

Until I got there.

That about sums up our SW Florida weather all Summer long except 71% humidity is a good day... and the mosquitoes... we have the little tiny ones and then we have the big ones around the brackish water and they hurt when they bite. Just need to survive through August and it begins to get better, we hope. 3 or 4 months but the rest of the year is nice.

Another thing I hate: mosquitoes! Again, SoCal is amazing with so little bug problems compared to lots of other states.

We get lots of rain so puddles and lots of water. This is actually a wetlands/swamp from Orlando all the way to the Keys. So bugs and lots of birds and wild life. I'm from So Cal and love it there as well but LA is one small part of the ecologically diverse State of California. I have camped there and been eaten alive by mosquitos...wait till the drought ends and then the flooding and heavy rains come. Those bugs are just waiting for that. :-)

I was in Denver with my father for a Cliff Zlotnik Smoke class. Sunday morning when we left there were homeless sleeping everywhere in the park. It was early fall, most only covered with newspaper. I was in my early 20's, I'd never seen anything like it. Very depressing, it really made me sad.

I also attended a Water Loss conference in Pittsburgh PA. As I left the hotel to go down to the river shops there was a guy covered with cardboad. It was cold and raining, just sad.

That stuff really is depressing to me.

Did I tell you how great Erik (the Zipper) Hiltz is. Every homeless guy that asked in Atlanta, Erik gave them money. What nice guy!

Of course knowing they had cash, i rolled them for the dough. I made money on the trip! :winky:
