    Ya big time. In Texas you feel like you're getting brain damage when it's 100 degrees.

    Well, when summertime gets here, let us know....otherwise, you're just tarping in unseasonally hot weather. :)

    I hear you. When I was running for a Universal terminal out of Dallas area, I remember when I started there, it was like October, about 50 degrees out, and all these wussies from the Dallas area were wearing puff jackets because they were cold. LOL That's a comfortable day up here in Michigan. On the other hand, I actually enjoyed the hotter weather they had there, it was dry. Humidity is my achilles. :)

    I used to work with a guy who grew up in some Florida swamp. It could be 99 degrees with 1000% humidity, and he would sit in his truck with the windows up and the AC off, and be happy.
