Personally I love it. You just save up all of your indoor projects for Winter. During summertime, we have super long sunny days. So that's the trade off.

Nope not doing shit indoors in the winter, that makes it worse. I actually try harder to be outdoors during those times

To each their own. Not everyone can handle the winters here, and that's fine.

I just got back from the forests of the Tillamook after dropping off the kid at school. I was the only one up there and got stuck around 3 miles in a several times. Got home for a nap before noon. It's not that hard nor does it take much time to do and I never was ant type of outdoors man. Pics from this morning. I'm the only one in that part of the Tillamook, I very rarely see anyone else. That before you know it I'm back at work in the fab. Crazy going from an artificial tech environment of the a fab to the natural forest in just 25 minutes.

Just like you learn to live inside during the winter up there we live inside during the summer down here. The rest of the time just being in shade with a fan is pretty comfortable

I lived in Phoenix for years, its not just summer. Half the year is above 90 most years and the water is running out. I can put on a raincoat and go about my day in the north, I cant do that in 115. I applaud anyone who can still handle it but the the idea its really nice in Phoenix 3/4 of the year and only bad in summer has not been true for a loooong time.

We each have our own needs. The grey and cold was slowly killing me. No matter what I did or how many layers I put on I was cold and my body hurt. I will take the heat thank you

The water is running out but they’re building that microchip plant up near 17 & the 101 loop that is supposed to use something like 1 million gallons per day.
