I HATE Summer!!!

[Nancy Laird]

You need to schedule a visit back to the Southeast on October 6th for the GA/Tennessee game. GOOOOO DAWGS!

Now, Belinda, now you've really hit a nerve. "Go Dawgs" my butt.

GO, VOLS!!!!!!

Be careful, or I'll have to punish you like I did my former boss here, who is a Gators fan. I sent him a green plant, with some orange and white carnations poked into the soil and a huge orange and white Tennessee banner!! (He lost a bet). I told him that he must have it displayed in his office for one full year--he would have done the same to me with a Gator banner. He wasn't expecting what I sent, especially since I waited about two months before doing anything (had to get the banner from my sister!!), and he was really surprised and chagrined to have to display the orange and white in his office. We've laughed about it, but he won't make any more bets with me related to Vols-Gators.

You could move here. It's currently 72 with partly cloudy skies, slight breeze.

No thanks, Joe, I spent an eternity one summer living with my former in-laws in Longview, and found out first-hand why they call it the "Great NorthWET." I thought I was going to have to grow gills or webbed feet!

"""""""
I need to move north. Snow I can deal with. Ice I can tolerate. But heat just drives me insane!
"""""""""

Ah....average temp here is in the 40's, I'd be careful how far north ya move, minus zero temps and windchill temps of -45 ain't any more fun than 100+ temps...
And then there's the snow...first couple of inches is pretty, next couple of feet starts to get annoying, after that I can't repeat what it is on this forum...

Al...who's looking for a happy medium

[Brian Robison]

102 here today.
Georgia has a football team?

[Jim Becker]

Imagine how the two young men toiling away in the big hole behind my house making foundation footing forms feel this week...high 90s and humid as the bayou. Lucky me...I'm somewhere where it's in the mid 70s at the moment...hee hee

[Matt Meiser]

A cold front is supposed to move through here tomorrow night. Hopefully it is headed your way for the weekend Jim.

You're on Nancy, loser has to post pics of "gift" received and agrees to display it for a full year. Sound okay? (I'm a Vols fan except when they play Georgia, but don't tell anyone.)

Yes Brian, there is a Santa Claus, and he gave Georgia the Dawgs! Just a little bitty team, but they can beat the Vols.

Sorry, Mark. Didn't mean to go so off track. The heat just does that to me.

[Benjamin Dahl]

It is rough now down south. I just returned from central Africa where I usually get hit pretty hard with the heat but it was pleasant compared to Atlanta. Be careful if you are working outside or in a hot shop as heat related illness can sneak up on you pretty quickly.

You're on, Belinda, and we have over 19,000 members here who are witness to this bet.

Awfully confident, aren't you?????

Seriously, for anyone who is working outside in the horrible heat, a word of advice, as was given to us in Las Vegas--DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!!!! Lots and lots and lots of water.

Brenda,
I worked in the wood of southeast Georgia for 21 years. " Bear caught" is a common expression in the forestry business. I have work else where and no one was familar with it. I think it is a southeast GA thing.
And I agree GO DAWGS!!!!!

Stan,

My daddy worked in forestry, and the friend I was talking to this a.m. worked for the DNR and has been a "woodsman" all of his life. I believe you are correct that it is a southeast GA thing. In what part of GA did you work? Thanks for that Dawg support, looks like I'm in the minority so far!

I was just reading my hometown newspaper on-line and this article was in it. Rain, we need rain!!!

Brenda,
I was based in Brunswick. We owned 600,000 acres bounded by I-75,
I-16, I-10 and the Atlantic. I worked all over that large area. I was an industrial forester.

That's unusual, even down in Longview, normally July and August are dry but not over 85 or so. The rest of the year, yes, you might grow webbed feet. Unless you are up by my parents in the Sequim area, 10" of rain in the Olympic Mountain rainshadow, compared to our 40+.It's becoming a favored retirement community, growing 20% a year but still under 6,000 population.

Oops, I gave a way a secret!
