    Anyone else ready for some fall weather? It's been so sucking hot here the past few days even my ball sweat has ball sweat. Bring on the cooler weather for more comfortable range days and better fishing!!

    Yup, our Yankee skin will never acclimate... I see these old guys in jeans and long sleeves not breaking a sweat doing yard work, I come back drenched walking to the mailbox... I need seasons

    As I've gotten older the weather bugs me more. I'm out in it all day most days.

    I do also think about Fall a lot but ...........

    Every time I start to whine about sweating my ass off I calm down and conjure up a mental picture of last February and having to break ice out from around busted PVC pipe to repair. I'm suddenly not so hot.

    I do sometimes wish I lived farther North like maybe Huntsville or Greenville, SC. Still as hot and muggy there as it is here but at least you get a break when the sun goes down.

    I dont know how they do it man. Saw a dude walking down the street yesterday with a black hoodie on and a black winter hat. WTF? I would be dead if I wore that in this weather. Ive been down here for 13 years now and still wanna stay in the house for 2 months straight during July and August..

    I'm in the same boat. I'm ready to see some morning frost. I'm tired of sweating just walking to the dang mailbox. I miss living in Colorado, leave it to politicians to screw everything up!

    I would do some research before commiting to moving to that area. My family is from there, specifically my dad and mom were both born and raised in the Elizabethton/Johnson City area. I used to spend my summer vacations up there working for my grand father. Dad stays in touch with the family and keeps an online subscription to the local papers, sending me links to articles almost nightly. Apparently that place has turned into meth head whigger central

    Yeah IVe heard that about that area as well. Although it cant be any worse than this shit hole of a city we are living in now.. I was thinking more Townsend/Maryville/Knoxville area. We vacationed in Townsend a couple years back and loved the place.

    I guess that would be more East Central TN

    If you guys think it's hot now wait until the weekend, highs around 95 for Friday through Sunday! Could see highs over 100 inland! Forecast high for Crestview on Sunday is 101, with our humidity that is going to be dangerously hot if you're working outdoors!

    Nights in the 30-40s and days in the 50-60 range would be awesome. Its those.daytime highs in the teens and nights sub zero that I can't deal with.
