The other day, I see this guy wearing an HD Forum T-shirt, HD Forum jeans, HD Forum boots, HD Forum belt with HD Forum belt buck, HD Forum leather vest, HD Forum jacket, HD Forum doo-rag, holding a laptop with an HD forum sticker on it under his arm. I'm sure the guy never posted a message on HD Forums in his life. He was clearly an all out HD Forums poser, and no way in hell was he anywhere near as cool as me.

We've been lucky on Vancouver Island, only lows of -5 or -6 (C).

Pay attention MidnitE, it's about coldness not coolness...

Have you not heard of duck tape, tape the rugrats to the banister and no probs, you can go out for a ride, the added bonus is as they are only young you wont have to use much tape ( small people) so not much expense, Win, Win.

some guys have better things to do during warmer weather.
The only reason I post so much year round is I only work 20 hours a week. If I worked 40 a week, you wouldn't see me much during the summer either.

That's why I move to North Carolina..... just far enough north, that you get a "taste" of winter.... without actually having to deal with it

My goal in life is to become a true weather wimp .
From MN (now this is a winter), grew up in Cleveland (winter but it is no MN), live in DC (winter is something that visits but doesn't live here). If I have my way I will move to the beach in FL and finally become one of those people who thinks it is cold under 50 degrees. You have to have goals to reach for in life and title weather wimp is mine.
