Brock ,

 

take a ride to Greasewood Flats Saloon, good burgers and cold beer. I used to hang out there long ago when I used to rope down that way, it now stands across from the Four Seasons Hotel. Fun place, good cowboy bands by the fire in teh evening, parking lot , a few horses tied up, a few motorsickles, a few pick up trucks and a few BMW's (just northwest of Scottsdale about 25 mins)

it is a dry heat they say.......you get dehydrated and dont even know you are sweating.....it is like putting your head in a convection oven with the wind blowing.....flashbacks to Iraq, Kuwait, etc. No, not for me...give me green forests along the coast or mountainous home in Appalachia or Rockies....but no desert. Whatever fleeting moment I had about taking a job in area like this were just reconfirmed as a negative. LMAO

They say you get used to it like prisoners get used to living on death row.

I was born and raised in Phoenix. I never understood the whole "dry heat" thing....Until I came out to the South East....SHIT! :ooh2: I'll take the desert heat over this humidity crap everytime! You can go into a shaded area out there and it cools off about 10-15 degrees....here...its still frickin' hot and humid! BUT...I love green trees, rain and fall colors...in AZ it is pretty much brown all year long!! Try Flagstaff! It never gets above the 80's, very little humidity and the cool nights are awesome in the summer......but then again its at 6500 feet, so running down bad guys takes a bit more effort!

yeah but I feel like a well done baked chicken just walking from office to eat at lunch.....yeah it drops a few degrees in shade but with the wind blowing it is a full time convection oven. :)

I guess it's like humidity, you get used to it... yeah right, I know all the welders helpers dreaded it when the thermo. got above 100deg. that is the point @ which I go from asshole to "ragingfuknprick" :D

only good thing...no sweating for this big boy...but good to be back in land of green trees, oceans, sea breezes, palmettos and tanned southern girls. Saw more pasty white people in Phoenix than I did in southeast....guess it is just too damn hot to work on a tan unless you are born with it or work outside. :)

The wife works out there in Tempe one week a month. I go out in the winter months because it is pleasant, she says the swimming pools are too hot to swim in in the summer and I will take her word for it. I love it up in the Superstition Mountains, on the Apache Trail over to Roosevelt? I think the name of the town is. It's only in the 80's in February.
