Any complaints about the weather?

[GuitarsCanada]

Been close to 30 here for a few days. Welcome to summer?

[bagpipe]

Ummmm ... yeah? Same in Ottawa. Is it too early to start complaining that its too hot ?

[Paul]

I played outside on Saturday, under a tent, with NO breeze at all. T'was for a 60th anniversary party. We played Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance" and made old people cry. That was the good part.

I drank about 3 liters of water and sweated it all out. The sax player kept going flat as the horn expanded in the heat, and I kept going sharp as the archtop swelled out in the humidity and tightened up the strings. Maybe that's why they cried???????

The client gave us an extra $100.00 and told us to go have a nice dinner somewhere.

Who cares about the weather, we played a good job.:smile:

Let's wait for Milkman to chime in....he had a two day outdoor PA job on an un-sheltered concrete slap this weekend. When his sunburn fades I'm sure he'll have a tale or two to tell.

Humidity sucks. Other than that: bring on the sun!

+1 on that! It's too hot in an appartement with a girlfriend who doesn't want to have a air conditionned unit under her roof! :(

[Hamm Guitars]

No complaints here - I like it hot and sticky.

[Robert1950]

It's 6:30 p.m. and the humidex is 38.

It makes me feel like arguing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3HaRFBSq9k

Work on the Ark is just about complete. If I can find the second Unicorn, I am sailing out of Calgary.

[Lester B. Flat]

Toronto is under a tornado watch as I write this. I like it hot, but not too windy.

[rhh7]

Work on the Ark is just about complete. If I can find the second Unicorn, I am sailing out of Calgary.

I spent the first 50+ years of my life in tropical Louisiana...temperatures and humidity both above 90 for much of the year. I hate hot and sticky!...love it here in Canada...if I can't have cool and dry, I'll settle for cool and wet!!

If I can find the other unicorn, can I hitch a ride with you?

Seriously, I'm about at my wits end here. Nine months of winter and now a month of this bologna. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate Calgary. Weatherwise, where's the best spot in Canada to live.... is it on the island? Anyone know? Of course, you'd have to worry about the fault line then.:eek:

[dwagar]

I have to play outside on Sunday, what's the best way to set up for an outdoor gig if it snows?
(yes, Calgary)

[geezer]

It's just pissin' down rain here (mid Van. Island) right now and 11 degrees
I keep feeling angry ,but I'm not sure who's the most responsible.

You can move here to the Niagara Region. Wonderful area to live. We even have Lake Ontario to the point you can actually swim in it for 8-10 days a year. But that is mainly due to the zebra mussels. Which work great as a sewage filter. The drawback is they kill just about everything else in the water as well.

We have plenty of casino jobs or service sector stuff. Not much in the way of real high paying jobs anymore. But you will love the area. Great weather. :smilie_flagge17:

No such place my dear.

[kous]

No such place my dear.

Wrong.

British Columbia. "Its the best place on earth."

I get frusterated every single time I see it. I wonder if anyone other than people in BC see the commercial? I see commercial of Newfoundland sometimes. Seems like a nice place.

[Stratocaster]

Well...I like it more then winter...

We have similar weather here (the monsoon season is about the begin). Mold is a big problem. I had a brown leather jacket that became fuzzy green one summer.

But, since we're a bit more to the north, temperatures begin to cool down in October/November. Winters are still somewhat humid, which makes the weather feel colder than it really is. -10 centigrade feels pretty cold here.

I've been wearing shorts since April.

I hate hot and sticky!...love it here in Canada...if I can't have cool and dry, I'll settle for cool and wet!!Came from Scotland (cold, wet, gray), lived in west-central Japan (hot, humid in summer, icy cold in winter), lived in N. Thailand (hot & humid and rain rain rain or hot & dusty dry depending on season), so I'm loving it over here on the west coast. Although today was a non-stop deluge...summer? Don't think so.

[Geek]

Wrong.

Even if we are freezing our asses off and drowning right now :D

(CBC Vancouver today declared this month "Junuary" and Chilliwack had wet snow :eek: )

(CBC Vancouver today declared this month "Junuary" and Chilliwack had wet snow :eek: )Of course climate change is a myth...it must be true, Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and Stephen Harper said so, and they're best qualified to judge...or something :eek:

[Spikezone]

Well, I've lived in B.C. all my life and I wouldn't wanna live anywhere else, but the weather has sucked lately-apparently we had fresh snow on the local range this morning-it's been way too cold for this time of the year!

[RIFF WRATH]

this humidity is a bit much, but around here stuff is growing real well.......I might remind you folks to check back to the weather thread from last winter.......if I recall, it started in Oct. and the last post was what, April....lol...bring it on, can't do much about it anyway........can I post umbrellas for sale in the emporium??????

[laristotle]

I miss the spring and fall. It goes from freezing cold
to stay indoors hot and back again too quickly. But
my overall preference is winter. It's easier to get
dressed for the cold than it is to strip for the heat.

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzb zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
anyone else hear that?
Thats what i hate most about summer.
Seems one day it was winter then pow 30 degrees out.

[devnulljp]

Just put the woodstove back on today. In June. That's ridiculous.

[RIFF WRATH]

HUH.....last spring I bought enough wood to cut and split for last, and this coming winter.......to date have used up last years and half of this coming winter's......wood stove was out for a few days in April, a couple in May, and so far haven't lit it up since June 1st..........global warming my asterick......keep on choppin'........coming up to, I think, the fifth weekend in a row with rain predicted........can i have some whine with this cheese???.....at least most of us are not treading water like our US neighbours.........tornado anyone.....

[kous]

I heard on the radio that this summer is going to be scorching though; apparently one of the hottest summers we've had.




It starts in July though.




3 more weeks of rain and snow. :frown:

[devnulljp]

at least most of us are not treading water like our US neighbours.........tornado anyone.....I think Thor, Adad, Ishkur, Enlil, Ninurta, Aiolos, and Teshub are all angry at the US for their lack of piety and paucity of offerings. We're just being caught up in the fringes of their wrath...it's the only logical explanation.:bow:

[rhh7]

Read a book recently...the author claims that 30 days without complaining or criticizing will change your life!...

Of course, I have yet to make it through 30 hours, but I'm working on it!!

I SO hear that! We don't even usually go to the cottage in June as the Flies are as big as Chinooks!

Twas early in the spring when I decide to go
For to work up in the woods of North Ontario.
The unemployment office said they'd send me through
To the Little Abitibi with the survey crew



Been chewed alive as of late

:mad:

[fraser]

im fine with summer once the sun goes down lol
itll easily reach 120 degrees in the shop at work in the summer, and im stuck in there crawling around in grease and lifting heavy things and using blowtorches and leaning over hot engines. give me spring or fall any day. ive got no time for fishing or camping or any of the good summer stuff, so its all negative for me lol.
but the crackwhores are out there in all the different weathers, doing theyre best, not complaining, and getting the job done, so to prove im as tough as them, im not complaining either- really im not.

[bscott]

Am I the only one who doesn't give a damn about the weather? Hot, cold, rainy, snowy, clear, cloudy, humid, dry, whatever... It doesn't matter to me. None of it bothers me or gets me overly excited.

Nope. Same here. I have certain weather parameters that I prefer BUT I really, really, really try to practice gratitude every day. The weather, job, food, shelter, etc.
Just go with what the day provides for you.
