BND Posted September 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 22, 2022 And, we have a cold front going through now (No VA) that will drop our temps. There will be lows in the 40's this weekend overnight so heat may be needed for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Happy Posted September 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Technically it starts at 6:01 pm Eastern. Tomorrow is the first full day of fall. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted September 22, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yep, 95F here today, but hight tomorrow is only 80F. Hopefully it's the end of the 90's for us this year. We are soooo much looking forward to our CAN/NE cruise in 10 days. I now understand how people up there feel can't wait to head south to Florida in the middle of the winter! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakelorain Posted September 22, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Fall here in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. High today was 60 and will be in the 50's and 60's for the next few weeks. Leaves are starting to turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soremekun Posted September 22, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'm not looking forward to another winter in the northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted September 22, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I'm sitting at 90 again. Our weather guys say we have broken the record for consecutive 90 degree or higher days in a row. Humidity at 74%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone once told me it builds character. I believe i was 9 or 10 and the person that told me this was a parent of some sort with a driveway full of snow. I have recently discovered that they become somewhat more tolerable with periodic trips to Bayonne and beyond... One of these days, we'll get that homeported ship with the cold weather itineraries to warm weather places we've been pining for! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now understand how people up there feel can't wait to head south to Florida in the middle of the winter! I'm going to miss the 90 - 100 degree temps. I love the heat. When I was stationed at White Sands Missile Range, NM, on the 110+ days, I'd run 3 - 6 miles a day in a sauna suite, pants and top. Now, I'm much older and I walk 3.5 miles most day and love the 90+ degree weather. If it's below 92, I wear one of those neoprene sweat vests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing up in Alabama, and choosing to remain here, you'd think I like the heat. I don't. I can tolerate heat, but the humidity is a deal-breaker for me. Yet I stay. Yes I am crazy. I'd love to be able to walk like that. I was doing 2-3 miles a day, but the arthritis has caught up with me. A trip to Costco can be a major ordeal. I'm waiting to hear from my orthopedic surgeon to see if I can get a hip replacement right after Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man am I ever happy with that, had it done at the Indianapolis VA hospital. Subsequently, because of my good experience with it and my recommendation to have it done, my wife and my old Army buddy had it done too. They both regret it. I'll never recommend a medical procedure to anybody ever again. Anyway, I walk a lot and do a lot of physical labor around the house. I cut the lawn, about one acre, some if it with a push mower, every 3 or 4 days. Chop wood to thin out the wood/forest behind my home, I don't own it. All of this activity makes my knee keep from stiffening up and the pain level down to zero. I can tell when I get lazy and don't do my walking and/or labor, my knee starts to hurt real bad if I sit too long in one position, like at the dinner table or waiting room.

My wife had total knee replacement 3 years ago and while it helped her, it was not a complete fix. She still has issues with it and now the "good knee" is giving her problems. She's very hesitant to have anything done with it until there's no other option. Both of us inherited arthritis from our parents. I had rotator cuff repair almost 3 years ago. It was supposed to be a simple bone spur removal and clean out some arthritis, but it ended up being a "six way" repair. The doc said it was the worst and most involved one he'd seen. Recovery wasn't too bad, but I ended up with a pinched nerve between C5/C6 from surgical positioning, so I now have to get shots for that every 6-12 months when it flares up. The shoulder in now back to about 90% in terms of pain and flexibility, which I understand is very good. I've had hip issues for years, and now it's gotten pretty bad. A replacement should fix it and my doc says it will be a walk in the park compared to the shoulder (which was only bad because of the pinched nerve). But they also found another issue called sacroiliitis, which is apparently not very fixable. I try to stay active. I do all of my own yardwork (which takes an hour for edge, trim, mow and blow). I do a lot of DIY home remodels - big ones. I do my own automotive work and have done some light restorations, engine and transmission rebuilds and even a little body work. My day job is sitting at a desk, so I try to make up for it when I can, but this damned arthritis is really getting to me. Oh, I am also not a "pill" person. Ibuprofen is the strongest pain relieve I take - even post surgery. Of course I may wash it down with a glass of Johnny Walker. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
