I don't know about the apex....I drank nearly three quarts of Rainier Ale one evening when I was 19. Maybe that a nadir though
Ahhh, Rainier Ale, aka “Green Death”........just a half rung lower on the scale than Olde English.......thanks for the memories.....I think.....???
I've been working out a lot the last couple of months, and I really want to get to my old basketball weight, but this is one run I won't be doing lol.
Ahhhh. Olde English 800....reminds me of Steel Reserve Black Label. Both fucking nasty and probably on the same rung. Thanks for the memories...I think...???
I've been in 130 degree heat already. It was the day in 1968 that I landed in Vietnam. I've also been in Death Valley when it was somewhere around 125, awesome. Got there just in time to see the sunset from the prime spot for viewing the sunset in Death Valley. Had to drag my wife along who wanted to stay in the air conditioned car.
I can't imagine 130 degrees. I was in Las Vegas one when it was 110. And Phoenix when it was 114. That was unbearable I've also been in Fairbanks when it was -57. that means I have a 171 degree range....when I was 30
I don't have that kind of range but I was in Phoenix for 110 degree weather once. Was driving around the western states, sleeping in the car, stopped in to visit a college friend that I hadn't seen for a couple of years. Found him shacked up with a 15 year old girl, she didn't speak any English and he had barely any Spanish. It was pretty uncomfortable, plus it was miserably hot. barfo
I flew into Fairbanks when it was -58, the day that Canadian transport plane crashed at Fort Wainwright in the frozen fog. They shut down the airports for a few days after that as the barometric pressure was crazy.
from what I know, Fairbanks might be the greatest place of earth to spend a summer and the worst place to spend a winter
yep....21 hours of daylight a day for a couple of months. They grow 100 pound cabbages and pumpkins there with that level of light...god know why anybody would want 100 pounds of cabbage. Sauerkraut fans I guess the inverse of that is about 2 hours of daylight in the dead of winter, and the daylight is more like twilight. And the high for a month could be 4 degrees. Making things worse is that Fairbanks is prone to severe air inversions and the smog can be thick. People leave their cars running when they go to stores etc so carbon monoxide becomes like frozen soup
You beat me. I've been in 130 and I've been in -29. Of course the 130 was wearing my field jacket, toting my duffel bag and not getting into shade anywhere nor a place to sit down. Drank water from a dark, olive, drab, colored tanker that tasted like hot water for your tea for refreshment. I won't mention the Millions of mosquitoes. The -29 was in the hell hole they call St. Louis. I'd place my misery index up there with anyone.
