But it's a dry heat right?

One of my friends who works at EKU was damn near in tears because they had a chiller go down and it was 82 in her office!

Beat me to it.

Dry heat vs Humidity? I'll take dry.

I've got a cool shirt from Buddy Stubbs when I was in Phoenix with the skeleton on a motorcycle that says "its a dry heat". Love that shirt.

I know, cliche and everyone has seen it, but it made me laugh. Don't judge....

I'm not a hot weather fan ... and the humidity just makes it worse. Of course the alternative is that appealing either and I don't mean sand

Morning Larry. Not Thee Finger as I'm a righty and its on the left.

Not sure if I sprained it back or forward when it happen as I was going up a steep chute and buddy ahead of me hit a track and tipped him on his side and threw him off. I didn't want to get stuck so I went beside him and the left hand got caught between a tree and the handlebar. Thought I broke it at the time. But was able to move it back and forth. Pretty sure a spruce branch pulled it back while I was still going forward.

Easier to stay warm then trying to keep cool. After the undies come off, the cops tend to get a phone call.

Mornin Russ, OG Tracy, Lou, Larry and Tim

I can play music from Plex Media Server. Not sure if you need/want anything special from your music or just select and go but it works for what I need
