June 3, 20196 yr Hello Darkness, my old friend. Heat gonna stroke us out again. Request made and granted for the run it back edition.

June 3, 20196 yr Here in SA, the annual Texas Folklife Festival used to be held in August. But it was always super hot then (no shit), so a few years ago they moved it to early June. So for the last few years, that particular weekend has always been August-like blast furnace hot. It looks like that trend will continue this weekend.
June 3, 20196 yr I love it. Swimming in the hill country or playing with my kids in the pool. I like how it gets dark later. Eating BBQ just seems right in the summer. Longhorn football is right around the corner.
June 3, 20196 yr The next time the average daily high temperature will be lower than the average high today is on September 22 or 3 weeks into the college football season.
June 3, 20196 yr Felt the first stream of 2019 swamp ass yesterday. Gonna need more absorbent drawers.

Eating BBQ just seems right in the summer. Longhorn football is right around the corner. I think I said something similar in last year's thread, but I actually find as I get older, I enjoy Summer less with each passing year. I mean, I still enjoy hitting the pool/beach/lake on the weekends, going fishing, watching baseball. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about it still being 91 at 8 p.m. and you're sweating your ass off and swatting mosquitos while trying to grill. Or walking through a 120 degree parking lot after eating a big lunch and then getting in your broiling vehicle. So, to clarify, it's not really Summer I don't enjoy any more. It's Summer in SE Texas. At some point in the next decade or so, I'm figuring out a way to work remotely and live anywhere but here from mid June-Labor Day.
June 3, 20196 yr At some point in the next decade or so, I'm figuring out a way to work remotely and live anywhere but here from mid June-Labor Day.This is easy. Just stop being poor.
June 3, 20196 yr Summer's about to hit like the breath of a wild drunk. Like a hippie chick dipped in patchouli.
June 3, 20196 yr Just accept the heat and the sweat. Know that everyone is sweating. No big deal. Take a shower when you get home.
June 3, 20196 yr 91 and feels like 99 in Austin right now. Someone needs to invent micro-fans for my pits and groinal region.
June 3, 20196 yr I'm gonna put on a skin tight pair of brand new, starched Wranglers and walk in the borrow ditch amongst the tall Johnson grass along I-10 all the way from Beaumont to Houston just to see if I can do it.

That was all fine and dandy back when you didn't need to get a reservation ahead of time for places like Hamilton Pool, or stand in line for BBQ.

June 3, 20196 yr Joke is on you. I'll take Quito or Bogota and you can keep Manaus.I almost made a altitude qualifier in my statement but figured it wasn’t necessary for the globetrotting surly folks.

June 3, 20196 yr Can't wait for the ice cream festival, which seems to be systematically scheduled to fall on the hottest day of the year. It's almost like they are trying to kill kids and make all the ice cream melt.
June 3, 20196 yr Speaaking of swamp ass, it is also time to purchase a seperate stick of deodorant for said swamp ass. Edited June 3, 20196 yr by MissingInAction

I wear shorts and a polo shirt 98% of the time. When it gets below 60f with some wind, I’ll wear my Burntorange windbreaker. Never turn the car heater on either.

Wife has said she’s willing to check out various parts of New England in late July on the way to said relatives. We aren’t moving anytime soon, but maybe this will open the door a bit.

June 3, 20196 yr Have known women that would use antiperspirant on the underboob. Tit sweat heat rash is not a feature of winter. The crepes will be in full bloom here soon and so begins 90 days of hell.
June 3, 20196 yr This is always the worst part of summer to me. The build up and dread. If I can make it to summer solstice without my brain melting I'll be ok. I know after that days start getting shorter and shorter and it's all a downhill slide thru the inner circle of hell. Of course just when everyone is saying No Mas phdhorn will remind us that the hottest time of the year is mid-August to mid-September. This August I'm going to

How do you get there and where are you going? Do you like fly into Green Bay and rent a car or what?
June 3, 20196 yr I'm supposed to take my wife to Mackinac island in July. 2020, that is. Needed sweaters in the PNW last week. Landed at HOU on Sunday night at 9pm and got hit in the face by the warm air. Dammit. Edited June 3, 20196 yr by BearSchlong

Details haven't been finalized yet but I'm planning on driving. Take about 10 days or so around the 18th of August. I always think about going just to get away and this year I told my wife we are doing it. She said great but you plan it.

Landed at HOU on Sunday night at 9pm and got hit in the face by the warm air. Dammit. My wife's best friend lives in Aspen and we usually go visit for 5 or 6 days every August. Best place on earth that time of year. You wake up and it's about 50, warms up to maybe 80 or so during the mid-day and then back down to the low 60's by dinnertime. Very little humidity. Flying home wearing a fleece jacket and landing back in Houston to 97 and 100% humidity is one of life's cruelest jokes. I just need to find about $5-10M or so laying around and then you'll know where to find me this time of year.

Or are you married to the rare breed that can actually competently plan a trip.
