The snowbirds are wearing shorts and light windbreakers. The freakin' high was in the mid 40s today with a 20 plus MPH north wind! I was freezing my butt off, but the snowbirds apparently thought it was downright balmy. Our metabolism must be different or something...<br /><br />On the flip side, I remember laughing when the Navy put out heat advisories at Great Lakes when the temp got to 90 degrees. In the summer, we have overnight lows in the mid to upper 80s down here. Just the way I like it...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-81843720651328372602011-01-11T18:59:33.066-05:002011-01-11T18:59:33.066-05:00The mean ole cuss used to beat on all of us youngu...The mean ole cuss used to beat on all of us younguns.

In and out of the car every two minutes because I couldn't feel the wrench anymore.<br /><br />Ya gotta love the ladies though, they sure as shit are nicer to snuggle up with in the cold than a fucking dog.<br /><br />Sounds like ya got a good one, I am lucky too.<br /> Say howdy and make sure ya keep her warm and happy.<br /><br />You have heard the old saying, if Momma ain't happy, no one is.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.com
