Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How do people stand more winter than this?

I'll take 92 degrees and sunlight at 8:30 PM,...a big slab of asphalt and 80 mph on 2 wheels.

That's when I'm alive.

,..sittin' here wondering why,..

I think maybe it's because I'm a type that needs some kind of jolt to the senses to work up a good "happy".

I don't guess it has to be a motorcycle. I suspect a P51 Mustang would do it real well,...but the most raucous thing available to me to get that jolt is motorcycles.

It's not so much winter itself,...but winter prevents me from getting my jolt.

I've got spring fever bad.. Really bad..

Bristoe, I think California would be PERFECT for you and your bikes...

I can't afford a P51.

That must be why winter hits me so bad.

,..not much extreme winter in Kentucky, but by this time of the year I'm numb with boredom.

I can't imagine how people up north function.

Lately, I've been giving a lot of thought to moving south. I never seriously considered it before,...I'm a dyed in the wool Kentuckian, but I'd really like to see fall arrive later and spring arrive earlier.

,...wouldn't want to go too far south and get into those oppressive summers.

Seems like mid-South Carolina has the climate I'm looking for,....but I can't find an area there that interests me other than the weather.

Oh hell,...I guess I'll be okay when it hits 65 degrees again,...but before next winter arrives, I've got to have something set up to occupy myself.

Bullshittin' on the computer has about run its course.

It ain't gonna do it.

You could try Central America. Guatemala In particular. I spent 3 mos. a year there for 4 years. I knew there was a reason the southern latitudes were settled before our northern border states.

At about 5000 ft. elevation the weather is an eternal spring. Very little wind. Most of the rain came about 4 in the afternoon. Sound perfect? well almost but these old ears don't hear well enough to learn Spanish and they didn't seem interested in learning English. But we enjoyed the people, the food and most everything about our stays. As you get older the commute gets harder. The country has many Americans. It is really a melting pot of people from all over the world. Try it you might like it.

Go kill some coyotes - if there's snow on the ground now, you'll miss it when it's gone

I hope so, there's a mating pair of Yotes where I deer hunt that I am wanting to whack this weekend.

The high in Austin in January averages around 60 degrees. Austin itself is too liberal, but there are a lot of little towns around there with anything you need in the city but without the 24-7 liberal horse shixt. There's a lot of illegals in Texas, but if it's just you and the Mrs...it would look good to me. Points on south for riding the bike even in the winter. LOTS of good fishing in Texas too.

I'm in the same boat as you Bristoe. I don't like the winters at all anymore.
