Winter? We don't have no stinkin' Winter. We only have two seasons and we call them Fallspring and Hot. I think there has been a Winter every decade or so, defined as more than 24 hours under 32 F, but it's over with so quickly we didn't realize it had happened.

One thing that made me curious about AZ and the weather, how does it seem the Phoenix is about 10 degrees hotter than the Green Valley area? Green Valley is south, and a desert area, yet it seems that even throughout the summer months the temps. varied by about 10 degrees.

Ms. 427 wants to head that way to escape the upcoming winter season here...………………… thinking of giving her a one way ticket, a couple bucks and the phone numbers to those I know who live there...…..

seriously thinking of looking for a place there for when I decide to stop working at current employer and find my true dream job as a Walmart greeter...……

A woman went to her psychologist because she was having severe problems with her sex life.

The psychologist asked her many questions but did not seem to be getting a clear picture of her problems.

Finally he asked, “Do you ever watch your husband’s face while you are having sex?”
“Well, yes, I did last time,” she replied.


“How did he look?” the psychologist asked.


“Very angry,” she said.

“We must look into this further.” said the psychologist.

“You say that you have only seen your husband’s face once during sex.

That seems somewhat unusual.

How did it happen that you saw his face that time?”


“He was looking through the window at us,” she answered.

Wonder if all the concrete in P. causes the temp diff. I know DFW area is usually hotter than the more rural cities.

Part of the reason is elevation. The general rule of a 2 F temp drop per 1K' elevation can account for 4 F. (Phx el 1K' vs GV el 3K') Wayback provides the other reason, since the Phx official temp is at the Sky Harbor airport heatsink which is also the bottom of the bowl in the Valley of the Sun. The edges of the bowl are cooler and a little higher too. I'm 300' higher and a couple degrees cooler in Northern Peoria.

You better find a new dream job or forget Green Valley if you want to be a Walmart greeter. Green Valley's population is over 20,000 and made up almost entirely of retirees who are already waiting for the current greeter to die. Maybe think about a drivetrain consultant for the local mine's heavy equipment. BTW, according to Wiki "Green Valley is an unincorporated retirement community composed of 59 Homeowner Associations.", and I know how much you like them,

BadAV

I don't care for Homeowner Associations either. Just out of curiosity, how is availability of short term condo leases? We are coming to Phoenix for a quick visit at the end if the month. If we like it we may look to spend from mid-January to mid- March in Phoenix once the wife retires.

BadAV, I will let Hoxxy or someone who resides there respond with more complete information...………. but I will say that Ms. 427's sister and brother-in-law do exactly what you are inquiring about annually. They do have a daughter that lives in the Phoenix area year round, so they have her look for something for them prior to their arrival. The last few years, always seem to find someplace north of Phoenix for that time period and fair pricing. I may see them later today and can inquire more about it and send you a PM with that info. tomorrow.

Umm did someone forget to tell tha consumers they had a football game today?

Have a feeling Texas Tech will suffer the same fate against Ok state.

sounds like you had a fun day out there in the land of endless smoke teebee…………….. I put on a family picnic with siblings, and cousins from maternal and paternal sides, as well as all the kids, and grandkids...……….

left the house about 10AM so no football for me today...…………… I think the Wolverines and Huskers played in Ann Arbor...………

rkj427

edited the above, as I found an article related to the Nebraska - Michigan game...……………





guessing that since this game ended and the results were not in favor of the Huskers...……. my trip to the west will mean that I will be on my own for any meals...……….

thinking that Wendy's will have to do while on the roadways to Nebraska...………

baser camp running a special on Frosty's for the next year...……….. the chocolate flavor looks to be a deeper shade of brown than khaki…………. just sayin'...………

The Wolverines played. The Huskers didn't.

Boogity boogity boogity... another track crossed off the list. A dad & Chad race weekend in Richmond.
Time to head home...

Huskerman

Ruxy went to Richmond? Wow.... where the hell are my khaki pants ? Went to a huge pumpkin patch yesterday in a large village to the east. I did drown my sorrows at the Pie Barn there. a large slice of Bourbon Pecan with homemade ice cream.... it took the edge off the pain but not all of it. I told them just the bourbon and hold the pie but they said they couldn't do that ......

Congrats to the Wolverines on playing a good Big 10 style football game...... while we played a.... aren't we on the plane yet game....... how can guys get to that level of play and then forget how to play....... we suck...... sorry there it is....... been since 45 that we have been 0 - 3...... 1945......WWII the Big One was just getting over........ damnation.......

Robert out here we are known as the Best Fans in sports...... we applaud the winning team as they leave the field.....then we go and drink heavily......You will be most welcome and have all the great Nebraska food you can eat. We will start with beef......and end up with beef....... I hope you are carnivorous.....

Got some new brakes on the GS also....... new stock rotors and some Hawk Pads......took it for a spin and they worked well......also changed out the brake fluid...... after 63K miles on the stock brakes they actually were not that bad.....could have gone longer but thought it was time....... anyone still on their original brakes? Whay Back maybe?

Ok its time to mow and reflect on other things then the silly game of football.......like the meaning of life and GS'ers and other profound ideas........ have a really swell day Hamms......

wayback

Me on stock brakes? Yea right.
Stock were gone in 09. On my 4th set of pads and 3rd set of rotors. Didn't replace the rotors my second change. That made me do the 3rd change a little sooner to ease my mind.

How about them Red Raiders? Opened a big can of west Texas whoop ads on Ok St....a top 20 ranked team.

Cornhuskers gonna have a tough year rebuilding. At least they have fans to still cheer for them.....they don't know better.

BadAV

I am still on the OEM brakes on my 2012 but only have 26k miles on the car. It's about time to flush the brake fluid.

I assume you meant the end of October. Since that's like your mid-summer's dream.
Try homeaway.com and/or evolvevacationrental.com Do it now, because prices usually increase on Oct 1st.
Westside (Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, ect) are lower priced than equivalent Eastside (Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert, etc)
Go to Google Earth to see areas and then to street view to "drive" the neighborhood and see the house/condo.
The closer to a freeway, the easier it is to travel around. Although, I'd avoid I-10 near 75th Av due to current and continuing construction for the next few months.

The LSDHL and I looked in Phoenix area but just couldn't get past the fast pace. We ended up south of Tucson for a more laid back pace.
