novazeus Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 2 hours ago, Scatcat said: Let's see... I have a 16 year old studying gaming graphics design in a private high school, a 14 year old in a music class in junior high. The chances of getting them to move from what they love is zip, zil, nada. I also have a four year old with autistic spectrum diagnosis. He is in a nursery school that is absolutely wonderful for his development. Won't take that away from him any day soon. ❤️ My sweetheart would probably love to move somewhere warmer. But as she's doing social work, her experience and degrees might be hard to translate to another country and culture. So I do dream almost daily of a climate like cook islands or somesuch, but I'm afraid I'm rather stuck ATM... Looking out into the sheets of icy rain, fog, wetness, darkness makes this part of the year the hardest to stomach... I'm probably the easiest one to move, as senior front-end developers with full stack experience have no problem finding decent work just about anywhere on the planet earth right now. i was in missouri and illinois like 12-26-1999 doing site acquisition work for wireless. when i got up there, it was like 60f. the natives up there knowing i was from fl were so proud of their weather, for a couple of days. u should seen how big the gps differential was for the millennial, like 150’. i was staying in st louis and being from the south what struck me was, it was like living in black and white tv. everything gray and dark. besides the cold. it definitely takes a special personality to deal with that. hard to be grumpy down here right now when u walk outside and it’s sunny and just the right temperature. after u rear the kids u have something to look forward to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that it's late November it's even warm for us in Southern California. 94 degrees (34 degrees Celsius) is the forecast.

meepmeepmayer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Just keep rubbing it in... Old news! In your mten3 fix video, you were wearing short sleeves again (vs. 2 times long sleeves in the previous videos). So this is how I knew it was getting warmer again in California 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBL clips have Great Bass and are pretty cheap, got mine on sale for $49USD. I play the Pandora Mastodon channel when I ride. Yes, that is my 98 Viper GTS otherwise known as my $ pit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
