Man I'll take it.
Monday I was running in base layers, sweats and gloves.
Today I peeled off a shirt and finished the run topless - no pics you pervs...dont need @Jody Treadway to add another one to the BTmoob club.

I'll take 20 over 90 any day. I can always add a layer, but there's only so much i can take off before the cops get involved!

I’m the opposite.
I may sweat and be hot but I can drip and work just as hard. When it gets much below about 45 my muscles just shut down and I’m a shivering trembling mess.
 
This time of year I keep my extra beer in a case out in the garage bc its just as cool as the fridge or more.
Tonight not thinking I went out, grabbed one, cracked it open, chugged and almost spit it back out bc it was room temp. Damnit.

When you have been a shivering trembling mess and it's 100 degrees outside you'll know how heat works against me. Twice I've fell out from heat. First was during two a days football practice. Second was doing hay work a few years later. Haven't been the same since. The older I get the longer it takes me to recover from hot humid days if I push myself to far. I stopped racing motorcycles when I couldn't do my job like I should Two days after a long harescramble. I was in the best shape of my life but I just couldn't recoup from the heat exhaustion.

I use to be like that. I use to ride my motorcycle to work on sub 20° days like it was nothing. Then I turned 40 and anything under 30 made my face hurt.

I can still walk around in short sleeves in 40° weather but anything below freezing just hurts.

Then after I turned 50 my feet really started letting me know they didn't like the cold. When it's below 45 or so I need to wear heated socks if I'm outside for any amount of time. Getting old sucks

I still hate any day over 85° but I'm leaning more towards heat than cold the older I get

Seen a pack of sport bikes last night out about 10pm I know they were about to die

I'd say that's generally true for guys riding sportbikes in a pack at 10pm regardless of the weather.
 
The cold doesn't bother me much for some reason. I don't like 10 degree weather, but normal NC winters are comfortable. I HATE hot weather though. Always have. If there is work around my house that can't wait until the fall, then I will do that work early. Sometimes VERY early. I've gotten up early and shoveled dirt at 5am with a head light on before to avoid having to work in the heat of the day with the sun beating down on me. When I built my shed, I started in the fall, worked through the winter into the spring, then stopped when summer hit. I resumed the next fall, worked through the winter and into the next spring again.

I definitley get the desire to do outside work on a nice WNC fall day. Still hate the cold. I was stationed in Alaska North Pole for a year, and it ruined me for all cold. My last duty station was Tampa FL - I grew up in Augusta Ga. I guess my nordic ass just acclimated to hot air. I love sweating in outdoor labors, and all my womens have loved the sweat too lol

I have an Umbrella sun shade over some patio furniture. It is retractable and has LED lights under the canopy. After 4 years it’s time to replace the canopy because…Florida.

The hardware is all good, everything functions, just the cloth needs replacing. I am learning how to sew and it sounded like a fun project. I couldn’t believe it when I looked it up. I can replace the whole damn umbrella, like for like cheaper than I can buy the cloth. TFW??

I hate to toss this frame, but damn!

Wonder what I can do with the old frame?

Reminds me of that commercial about NOT turning into your parents. No... There's no need to keep that box... Yeah.. I know it's a good box... But let it go! We're not in the depression 😎

I've delt with more of that this weekend.......another several buckets of trash and scrap. Been working every so often for over 12 years. I can't remember how many loads of scrap metal, wood, and general trash I've moved. I could stop everything and work a solid month and still not be finished.
