skybytch 273 #4 June 22, 2001 Quotebut it is going to be damn hot packing this weekend.Easy solution to that problem - attach a $5 bill to your container and place it in front of a packer along with a big bottle of cold water (or a can of Red Bull...). pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
numskull99 0 #5 June 23, 2001 Oooohhhh, attaching a $5 bill to my rig is a good idea.But I dunno, I don't care to jump other peoples pack jobs when I do video. They need to design some kind of A/C packet or something like that. That would be nice.Yeah I do feel really bad for people in AZ.But its all worth it when you get to altitude.What's wrong with seattle?? Rain??Even knowing it's only going to be around 102 F.I still miss spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallinWoman 1 #8 June 23, 2001 Okay, maybe I shouldn't brag... This is one of the few perfect weekends we will have all year. This spring was very windy. This past winter no one jumped because the snow started to melt, then refroze as a sheet of ice....But tomorrow looks good and that is all that counts today!!!Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I walk up to the packing area and just look at people packing and instantly burst into a very heavy sweat. Hey, the heat even makes the farts on the plane smell better, this is truely life.

Zennie 0 #14 June 24, 2001 Eh, you Noth Texas folks are a bunch of ninnies. Why here in Houston it's 500 F with 800% humidity. We have to wear asbestos jumpsuits because our rigs keep bursting into flames in freefall. The turn & tracks on the 10-ways look pretty cool from the ground though. ------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Billy 0 #16 June 24, 2001 Why I left AZ,,,,BYou know you're from ARIZONA if:Salsa goes with everything (especially eggs !)¤You think a red light is merely a suggestion.¤You notice all of your out of state friends only visit after October and will leave by April.¤You see a person wearing oven mitts while they are driving and you think to yourself, "That person is SO SMART!"¤Most of the restaurants in town begin with "El" or "Los".¤You think that rocks make the best landscape.¤You notice your car overheating even before you begin to drive it.¤Your house is made of stucco and you have a red clay tile roof.¤You can say "Hohokam" without people saying "Bless You" afterwards.¤You no longer associate bridges with water.¤You no longer associate RIVERS with water.¤You see more irrigation water on the street than in the Salt River.¤You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.¤You agree that 105 degrees is a mild temperature for the summer.¤Every other vehicle around you at a stop light is a 4 x 4.¤You can be in the snow and then drive for an hour and it will be over 80 degrees.¤Vehicles with open windows have the right of way in the summer.¤You see people in jeans and winter coats when it hits 70 degrees.¤You master the "two-fingered" driving technique for June, July and August.¤You have discovered numerous ways of getting the seat belt on without touching the metal buckle.¤You have burn scars on your body from when that buckle hits your skin.¤The pool water in the summer is warmer than your body temperature.¤What-out-of staters call Sun Tea, we call instant tea.¤You turn on your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can cozy up next to the fireplace.¤People with black cars or black upholstery are from out of state or just plain nuts. ¤The best parking place is measured by how much shade you can get.¤Monday night Football begins at 7pm instead of 6pm.¤You can finish a big gulp in 10 minutes and then go in for seconds.¤There is no difference between the cold water tap and the hot water tap.¤On a July afternoon, with all the children out of school, the streets are empty.¤You can get a second degree burn from opening your car door.¤You actually went out and bought beach supplies when you heard Tempe was getting a beach park.
