I like the heat and am about to start suffering for about the next 8 months! I think I got switched at birth or something.

Your up early……what is it ? 3am 4am at your place right now ?

 

[Garak]

No, a night owl. I do most of my work at night. My usual bed time is 5:00 a.m. That way, no one bugs me.

Yes I like to work late too, not as late as you though.

8 pm and it's time for me to head home.

Yep, I like the heat too, it's the humidity that kills. I visited Norway once, the cold didn't bother me unless there was a strong wind behind it. Then it cut me in half.

In the cold I just put on more cloths, but with the heat, if you are walking around sweating your ring off and you are only wearing your undies, where can you go from there?

The heat never bothers me, but I need winterizing a lot more than my motor oil! I think my blood is a 20w-XX or a monograde.

As for winter grades, I believe my snowblower has either 5w-30 MaxLife or 0w-40 RP in it, even though it could use a monograde, never starting outside, but only in the heated garage.
