Reef Runner Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I thought about flying today, until I went out for my morning walk. The winds were kicking, 15 - 20 mph out of the west, but the temps were in the low to mid 40's. Hmmm Just not my kind of flying weather. I know, I know, I'm going to hear words like "whump" and "indoors", from friends like Rob and Wayne, I'm sure (you might guess which comes from who), but what can I say.........I'm just a "Fair Weather Cruiser", I suppose Quote
Wayne Dowler Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 I'm aghast at such accusations, Nick!! Merely suggestions for alternate enjoyments!!! 1 Quote
Captainbob Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 Both yesterday and today, it was cold, and windy. Windchill in the upper teens to low 20's . Too cold for me.... Quote
RobB Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 No, I don't think you're soft for not wanting to fly. Maybe you just don't have the right clothes... yeah, yeah, that's it... Here's what my fly after work looked like a couple of weeks ago... Yes, those are my footprints. 20* with a 10mph breeze. Midvent time ! 3 Quote
Reef Runner Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 Oh man ! Thanks for being kind, Rob. What a beautiful view you have there ! Burrrrrrrrrrrr Quote
Reef Runner Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 It's not so much the clothes, it's just that I can't stand the cold hands part, and I don't do well with gloves................... Quote
Amexpmh Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 40 degrees you don't really need a coat. Lol. I "wimped" out in KC with 12mph because it was 18 deg. I could stand the cold but traveling on business I didn't have a hat. Needed my Tilley and would have been goof to go. :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
