F this weather.

[slander]

Anyone else absolutely hateing this weather? I havent been outside for more than 10mins in the daylight since early june. I just went under the taco to spray some pb blaster on the o2 sensor to prep to replace it this weekend, and i am sweating fxxxing buckets! I cannot wait until october to may!! The only good thing is that I quit my s***ty working outside all day job in march so i didnt have to work in this crap all summer, and i have not cut my grass in a few months. Rant off, cooling down my vag!!

Meh

Last week I had to crawl under my truck on the trail to try to fix a set of broken rear axle studs and install an electric fuel pump. The high for the day was near 100 and there was no air movement and very little shade in the canyon where the truck was parked. Oh, and it was also parked right below an active mountain lion's den (though I was told she was probably sleeping and I'd be fine as long as I got out of there before dusk) and I was left there by myself while those who dropped me drove to the bottom of the trail. I wouldn't see them again for almost 3 or 4 hours. I was covered in sweat and dirt by the time I got the truck out and had gone through all of the water I had brought with me, too.

It's starting to remind me of the weather I lived with for 15 summers while living in Virginia. I got so used to it then that I would run at lunch time in 95+ degree weather and then play ultimate frisbee in the evenings. The human body is very adaptable and I've adapted back to living in the northern Midwest after 13 years here.

I could live with the heat in sd. It was a lot drier and it was just for a few hours. It was downright cold at night.

Your point is moot because you were wheeling badass trails up in the mountains, not surrounded by flatness, corn and dumbasses. The lion would not attack you because they know not to fxxx with honey badgers!! I used to think dry heat/cold was a crock of BS until i spent some time in aspen (it was winter but same concept), 14* there felt like 32* here.

I will agree it was a drier heat, but 105 (what I saw on a bank sign in Rapid City the day I broke the truck) is still awfully hot. Todd is correct that it did cool down nicely at night, though. I think I was a little warm the first night, but after that I was happy to have a warmish sleeping bag.

I also agree that the sticky, hot, humid weather was much easier to deal with when I lived in Virginia since the area was full of beautiful treed, rolling hills and you could at least see mountains on the horizon to the west even if they were a little over an hour away. There were, unfortunately, plenty of dumbasses and they all worked exactly the same schedule so rush hour traffic blew major donkey ****. And It's even worse now as they continue to build further west and more government contractors move in.

I've also heard from a friend who grew up near Salt Lake City, UT that the low humidity helps on the cold end to make it feel less cold. One more reason for my goal to be living in Colorado within 5 years.

We've been in Colorado/Utah for the last 2 weeks and there is no sign of humidity. Even the hot weather is nice. I couldn't think of a negative to living somewhere out here. 2 weeks doesn't even touch the surface. The only sucky part is having to head home soon.

 

[jimkyser]

I was in southern Colorado (Antonito) for two weeks in late May. It was 90 degrees and sunny pretty much every day and I never felt a lick of humidity.

9 in the morning and I'm dripping sweat. It's not even 70 outside. 90% humidity.

[ChicagoFJ60]
