BTT

 

That's where dude lives that won the Rendeveuz from Kiss Fm isn't it? Do you know him?

I guess your a cotton farmer? I used to work for Boll Weevil in Leechville.

 

Who was it that won that car?
We farm cotton and beans. I was gonna get a job with the boll weevil people this summer but something about the insurance and you have to be 21 and I'm only 17. The idea of riding around on a fourwheeler all day sounded kinda fun but after it got hot I'm glab I couldnt because it has been pretty hot. THe only reason I wanted to work for boll weevil is cause my dad is to bossy , but i'll live.

I got off my tractor 2 times today and one was to go eat lunch . I kept the climate controle on 65 all day. It was actually pretty cold up there. But when i did get off of it I didnt stay outside very long.

I think we need to try and orginaize a Mo and Ark get together sometime.
Several of us Missourians are meeting in Osage Beach sometime this summer. I think we should all get together and meet in with you guys in Eureka Springs one Saturday too. What does anybody else think?

 

I'm booked until december, I got football coming up and we practice everyday and play on friday night so I sleep all weekend but after that it would be cool.

 

We'll have to meet some where besides Eureka if we wait until Jan. Almost everything closes during the winter there.

 

well it could be later in the year when it warms up.

 

I think we are getting into the high 90s, maybe hitting low 100s, but the humidity is always high as hell. Yesterday it was 98 with 55% humidity.

Most days, as soon as I step outside Im starting to sweat. Dallas was not near this humid.

 

I ussually take the family there right after easter when it is warm, places are open but tourist season isn't in full swing yet so it isn't to crowded.

 

Just stinking HOT and HUMID. 100 in my shop today, AGAIN !!!!!

 

Saw something on the news about it.
WOW 45-50 degrees celsius, that's pretty hot.
Those water vapourisers on the street are pretty "cool".
Temperatures are only half of that here, well not even that actually.
It was pretty cold here last week, even had the heating on in the house.
Midsummer, can't you guys send some heat over here.

Keep cool.

Dude sorry it took so long to get back...Yeah Boll Weevil was kinda cool, but I was answering complaints and spraying sensitive fields, and you know how pi$$ed everybody is about that coming there. Of course that was 2 years ago. It was kinda cool, I had a brand new '03 Ford Truck and mostly drove around. If I needed to go down a muddy field road in it I'd just take off. Wasn't really supposed to though.

 

Well- I did finally read the first page- and lemme just say-

I grew up in Louisiana- 300 yards west of teh Mississippi River, not to mention surrounded by fifty-leven swamps & lakes, so I know a thing or two about heat & humidity... How I survived with no AC still defies my own belief.
My folks only ran the AC on special occasions.. 4th of July, Labor Day; and after church some Sundays, emphasis on the word some...

Being in teh Army I was stationed in Arizona for 2 years, I went to Saudi Arbia (Where it'd hit 103 by 8:00 AM, and that's no lie) and I've been to Korea (For a place that can get so GD cold, it can get equally hot (July - August; then the monsoon comes; frost on the ground by late September) I've lived in El Paso (Ft. Bliss) and Fort Hood, TX. And let me tell you- I have spent some of my hottest and some of my coldest days in life, at Fort Hood, TX.

At the right time, I'd put Fort Hood up against any day I ever spent in Arizona or Saudi Arabia for heat; and the same for cold against any day spent in Germany or Korea. Talk about a land of extremes...

Now, I'm a Texas State resident- and have been for the last 10 years. I'll take 120 degree AZ heat with 5% humidity over 95 degrees in Texas with 86% humidity any day of the week. At least when you move to shade in AZ, it cools off. At least when you roll the windows down in your car & drive- it cools off... Not in TX..

My first car had no AC, purchased at Watson Chevrolet in Tucson, AZ. (It should be against the law to sell cars in AZ with no AC) But, 2/40 and 2/70 AC in Arizona cooled me off. Some days I could even use the vents and stay pretty cool with the windows up. So, I figured if I survived AZ with no AC, Texas wouldn't be a problem...


Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit... Within 60-days of sweltering 1992 heat at Fort Hood, I had an aftermarket AC system put in that car. The car would be so hot, you didn't even want to touch the freakin' steering wheel...

Dallas is about the same.. I'll never forget July 1998. The hottest I ever felt it since July 4th, 1996 (As we sweated it out in Killeen- waiting to see "Independence Day". After the movie- we came out, and my freakin' rear-view mirror had fallen out of the windshield- as had 3-4 other people's..)

FF to 1998, it was especially hot that day. We watched the weather that night, and the weather man said it had hit 115 that day; with a heat index of 130 degrees. He said if you were in direct sunlight you can add another 10 degrees to that- so what your body was experiencing was the equivalent of 140 degrees... Not only that, but we went almost 100 days without rain... That's Saudi-Arabian desert heat there bro's... Right here in TX.

Saudi was hot; so hot that we started working nights and sleeping in the day time so I didn't get to experience 3:00 PM heat there to often. Plus, we left in June (June 14th) so I didn't have to deal with July & August in that hot SOB...

But; based upon what I have felt; Texas is #1 in my book when it comes to heat.
