Puerto Rico in August for me. 3 days traipsing thru the jungle having to use a machete to find buildings on a mountainside.

it was kinda cool for 3 days, definitely felt like an explorer. no way I could have done it for even a month. I lost 15-20lbs over those three days.

worst part with the spiders. they aren't venomous, but they like to bite. and there are just as many of them as there are mosquitos anywhere else.

the one good thing was we were pretty much never in direct sunlight. forest canopy was too thick.

issue was it so was dang hot and wet it was constantly steaming. first day we tried to dodge the rain showers, put on coats, took shelter. by the second day we realized we weren't getting any more wet than we already were.

I can't imagine what it was like to spend years over in Vietnam in far worse conditions while fighting; but I can appreciate having dry socks.

Savannah, GA - August
Augusta, GA - Any warm month
Valdosta, GA - Every trip we've made
Columbus, GA - played ball there as a teen in playoffs in July. Horrible. Never been back since.
Manila - Humidity was quite humbling.

Did you have a chance to do one of the zip line canopy tours?
That was cool.

This was a work trip only. We stayed at a resort. I spent a combined hour at the beach/pool. Beach was beautiful but sand flies/gnats were horrendous.

I'm glad the Boo rumors/ Basillo thread is there. Just as the players need practice to get ready for the season. We need a thread to get into fighting shape for the game day threads.
We in full pads from day 1!

Mr and Mrs Basilio are very disappointed.

Mr and Mrs Basilio are very disappointed.

They didn't hit the weight room. They aren't prepared for fall camp. That ain't on us. That's on them. Lol

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Mr and Mrs Basilio are very disappointed.

Cant believe that clown posted his entire resume trying to defend himself for taking a locker room issue national. Definitely gonna get called out for that. The other person is definitely his wife, kid or employee too. Lmao

BOOM!!!

Spent some time in Panama in May - August 2017. Humidity levels are close to 85%.

Imagine wearing a wet blanket while working in the afternoon sun, when it's 90 plus degrees.

We had tablets we were trying to use. 2 shut off due to the humidity, third one ran slow so we were working on paper drawings.

Had to use pencil, ink just bled thru those sheets the humidity had them so wet.

For some reason they scanned one of my sheets into a presentation for the client. I had crushed a spider on that sheet and there was an almost cartoon esque outline of it left.

New record for this date here 101 degrees actual. Not heat index.

Its 87 degrees now at 1104pm.

Good times and whatnot. Calling for 101 again tomorrow with heat index ~110

I've got relatives that live NE of Austin, TX. We were down there in August, I want to say 2015, and I don't think the highs were ever below 100 while down there. Because of school schedules for the kids it's almost always summer when we visit but that year was just ridiculous even by local standards.

 

[Orangeburst]

Boo..m

Anyone seen the vids of Dems in gyms now trying to look manly and appeal to young men? Just laughable. Yes democrats do lift but the videos are just stupid.

87 degrees is considered a nice, cool overnight low temperature here during a summer heat wave. We've been unusually cool so far this year though. Currently 112 degrees at the airport. Tonight's low temp forecast to be 86 degrees.
