Very wrong.
I am suffering through an intolerable 70 degrees with a breeze here in Napa.

My brother lived in Sonoma for a decade, the only thing he ever bitched about was the annual pollen allergy fest
Not sure why he moved back here, I was ready to move out there.
Hippies. Damn hippies, everywhere.
Thank you, Cartman.
If you can get through the waterfall of sweat running down it, you can all kiss my ass.

Yeah, but I’ve seen pictures of your house in the winter and it’s just stupid cold.
I never had allergies until I lived out here. They are fucking brutal.
Sorry, I’m having a hard time hearing you. I had to turn the fan on because the temperature got up to 71 degrees.

It’s funny/interesting how different people are. To me, the only thing better than a 10°F high temp is a 5°F high temp. I can work outside all day in temps like that and running in anywhere from 20° to 50° is my sweet spot. If I had my way, we’d never see ground between October and April. 5 years in Fresno cured me of ever wanting to live in a hot place ever again. And, 1 year in San Diego County cured me of ever wanting to live in a place that’s a homogeneous 65-75°F all year long again.
I spent 20 years as a lineman for the phone company. I found working with my bare hands manipulating thousands of small gauge wires outside in freezing cold weather to be a painfully long and frustrating endeavor and even the hottest of days summer were mild in comparison. For me the pain of working in the cold and dealing with frozen shit was much worse than working in extreme heat and having sweat drenched clothes.

In a place that’s cold like this here in VT, they know to not waste the time. It only in places where it’s kinda cold they they try to work outside thru the cold. Unless it’s an emergency like an ice storm or something. The winter up here is used for maintenance activities. A good example is furerals/burials. They literally put cadavers in the freezer until April then there’s a flurry of burials.
I have no qualms about buying the PEC guys breakfast, drinks, snacks, every time I run into them at a store. I get very good service in return.

Did you use a brace and bit?
The Bell 10 inch brace (later bought and rebranded by Stanley) are still held in high regard as excellent tools.
Many times. I spent a year and a half doing mostly installs when everyone went from dial-up to DSL.

DonJoy was the last brace I’ve used, hopefully the literal last one.
The Fins have a saying that goes something along the lines of there being no bad weather, just incorrect clothing. That’s how they can go outside in conditions that, to the rest of us, would feel like being airlocked.
I’ve never been bothered by cold weather at all, in fact, I like winter as well as any other season. Given that, you’d think I might want to live in a place where there is a winter at some point. Maybe I will one day.
