Random Love (anti-rants)

We had a 60's and 70's day here in Annapolis today and it was a wonderful day to bust out some Iron Heart. Unfortunately 90 something degree days we'll through September are not uncommon. Wife and I are considering moving out Midwest, maybe Michigan or the like. I'd consider myself a cold weather guy

Cold is great. Walking outside into the cold from a warm environment is bracing and reminds you that you're alive. Winter sports and activities are a lot of fun too (though ice fishing should be relegated to survivalism and necessity versus a deliberate pastime IMO). My biggest issues living in a very cold area were the shortness and gloominess of the days (going to and from work in darkness is a bummer) and some of the hassles like snow accumulation, wear and tear on your vehicle, etc. I definitely am not huge on double-digit negative Fahrenheit temps but with the right gear even such extremes are survivable. With cold weather you can always bundle up. With hot weather there are only so many layers you can remove.
I love warm weather too and all the outdoor activities, camping, hiking, biking, mountain biking, fishing, etc.
I think what I hate most is hot and steamy weather like I grew up suffering through summers in Central MS. As much as I love Austin (and tried to move there as well as to New Orleans at different times from MS, @popvulture ), that would have been a problem for me there.

I feel like I've said this so many times in conversations with people haha. I'm 1000% with you on this, would much rather be too cold than too hot.
I also feel ya on the MS heat — god that was horrible. I feel like Austin's a treat comparatively. It's still humid, but I typically envision it as halfway between Mississippi and out west. Still hot and sticky at times, but much more tolerable.

Shout outs to @Graham. We were chatting yesterday late morning about my stacked items to get them shipped and the box has just been delivered. It's not that I live in Portsmouth where you can drop it on the way home. I live in Switzerland. That's simply impressive, thanks guys and thanks UPS, they deserve a bit of the credit
Oh and the IHSH-07 is georgeous. -
You're welcome buddy. -
some say he's still got a carrot in his box

Just want to give a shout out to @Chesson and the whole IH crew for their awesome customer service. I had the pleasure of dealing with chesson today and in typical IH customer service fashion I was well taken care of. I can never say enough how much I appreciate the great customer service that is given by everyone on the IH crew. Thanks again guys, we appreciate you.

Wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes yesterday when I was going in for surgery. I'm on the sore side of recovery but have to assume I'm progressing in the right direction. Great group of people here on the forum!
