Do ya’ll turn your AC off before turning truck off?

I hate to tell you but the pool water won't be much better. When it's 110+ outside that water will be like a big ol hot tub.

I'm in Mesa, my pool was 85 degrees this morning. Took a 6 am swim with my four year old. Love it.

west Texas? Dry heat, low humidity, plenty of jobs, lots of recreational land for sale by El Paso. Let’s go halves on 50 to 100 acres so we can have our own shooting range lol.

We can get hot but nowhere near your guys’ level. The highest we hit last year was 113. Plus it gets pretty comfy at night. Even on the hottest of days.

113...and I thought I lived in a hot dry desert area ???

In my 68 I pump the foot feed as I pull out the choke. When it starts I push the choke in a little.

I had a 78 Toyota Landcruiser that I bought new. It had a manual choke; loved it.

No AC but it had front and rear heaters. Of course they weren't much good with the top off.

My Father was stationed at Biggs AFB (El Paso) when I was young, it was the only place I have ever lived where you could be standing in mud and have sand blowing in your face.

One thing I absolutely love about the south west is the abundance of sunshine and dry weather. And the desert has its own beauty that I’ve come to appreciate.
I’ve always heard Albuquerque has perfect weather because of the elevation. I’ve yet to get over there to visit.

Ive Actually acclimated to the weather here. Now when it’s 30’s or 40’s I’m freezing.

last year the high was 113, but we have numerous days in the 100-103 range. By the end of the summer I thought 95 was downright perfect, especially if you’re out of the sun.

Our city has 4 seasons and none of them extreme. I'm a warm weather guy too! Visited relatives in Dallas 2 years ago and also have relatives in Plainview and Austin

I love the warm weather, but for some reason once I travel past Abilene I’m like “shit it’s humid here” lol. I camped just south of San Antonio 2 years ago and slept in the bed of my truck and I was beading sweat at 3am ?

The hill country is nice though and probably where I will end up permanently if I do stay in Texas. Most likely south of San Antonio.

4 seasons and none extreme sounds awesome. It’s on my list for sure. Albuquerque gets a bad rap from a lot of Texans here because of crime, but I’m sure it’s not bad as it’s made out to be.

And New Mexico has REAL mountains too.

We're starting to look at other areas now just now sure on where to go. Wherever we go one prerequisite is it has to be a pro 2A state and no long cold winters. I hate being cold but it's been just getting hotter and hotter here especially with all the building going on. All the concrete and asphalt just hold the heat in and give it a "heat island effect" where even at 11:00 it's still over 100 out.

Sounds like you need a summer cottage in northern Michigan to get away from that hot box! ?

hahahahaha, Floridians are crazy. I don’t know how you can stand the extreme humidity mixed with heat. And your guys’ creepy crawlers are next level. I thought the Mojave Rattlers were scary - you guys might as well be the Australia of the United States as far as I’m concerned ?

Although you’ve got beautiful women, good gun laws and lots of greenery, I’ll give you that.

Your right, crime is a serious issue here and you have to watch your back. We consistently have one of highest rates of auto theft in the nation. Its mainly because of the drug traffic coming in from the south. You have to be cautious about where you go and where your park.

The advantages are very pleasant weather, very few tornados, no hurricanes and no extreme earthquakes yet. Fires are our biggest challenge. There are a lot of positives here which outweigh the negatives and I try to stay focused on that. Overall very content here.
