Another great thing

[swadiver]

hey! another great thing about living in the "Sunshine", but really is, the partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, rains all the time, tropical storms, hurricanes State!!

in addition to all our other invasive species (Boas, Iguanas, white flies, Lionfish, curly tailed lizards, New Yorkers, French Canadians, etc, etc), we get our twice yearly LoveBug infestations!! yea!

shot at my club in east central sh.thole state last week. LoveBugs so thick had trouble seeing the target. carcasses all over the ground and the benches. and for a bonus, i just got to clean pieces of the sweet little creatures out of the chambers of two of my rifles! got 20 fps more MV out of the loads with their acidic bodies acting as extra fuel!

to add more to the fun after i got home, spent 45 minutes with pressure cleaner on the vehicle to ensure that not another paint job got ruined by my little friends.

can't wait to get out of this state. been here in S.Florida since 1985. enough is enough

sorry for the rant

At least you get to shoot year round.

I lived in Central Florida for 14 years. If you drive at speeds below 30mph those little buggers won’t bust on you car.

If you can’t stand driving that slow, bucket of water and a handful of dryer sheets will remove Love bugs from your car like magic.

Sure if you like 90 degrees with 90% humidity.,

I live in the SW and most range days it’s 95-100.

Lived in Northwest Florida for 63 years,think about it,f___ bugs,always mating,they live on exhaust fumes from engines, but do not fear they live in Texas also and all along
the gulf coast.

If you drive at 30 mph on I95, you will die in a firey crash

If you drive on I-95 period, you’re at danger of dieing in fiery crash...

My hat is off to anyone who could live in FL. During the war in RVN, the heat and humidity about killed me; I was a slug and in a state of heat stroke almost all the time...sweated so bad my silver (brass plated) neck chain dissolved in three months. It was so oppressive, I feared and hated it more than the enemy.

I don't know how you guys do it.

The LBs, no, not a new RAINBOW Coalition have had a presence up I 75 for many years as well as the Amadillos. It was late 90s when I started seeing the the 'dillas (possum on the half shell) when driving my vending route in lower SC.
I'm back in the home state of IN now. Yes, we have real winter, comparatively, but NO hurricanes.
Back to your joining up here......the usual caveats apply about putting your $$ on Suicide Watch.
And by all means Welcome.
Matter of fact, friends are in the Indpls area visiting from Marco.....

Don’t forget about the gnats too.

I moved there from North Louisiana which is much much hotter than Florida during the months of July, August, and September. I didn’t find Florida to be all that bad since there is usually a breeze blowing an afternoon thunderstorm to cool things down a little.

And Fire Ants........ :-/ They can light you up!

Hate to be the one to tell you, there is no perfect place to live on this earth. That is why we have heaven, if you've been a bad person, they just ship your butt back to earth.

 

[pirate ammo]

That is why we have heaven,

not quite ready for that yet.

Don't forget the whiney a$$es lined up 50 deep at Disney.

Please don't bring back those memories! HaHa!

Thought I was gonna melt during the day, but often felt I was freezing at night, in the mountains during monsoon season. Generally wet clothes day and night, from sweat or rain, a real hellhole!
