A cute girl I went to school with moved down there about 20 plus years ago..she always liked the sun and the beach,she would get bronzed every summer as a teenager. She still.does the same thing down there...God  as my witness,she looks about 70 instead of 55. I worry about my bride,on her days off she'll have a friend(s) over and lay on a pool float all afternoon.I told her many times how doing that will catch up to her one day..meaning skin cancer. She doesn't listen..and she uses tanning oil and did the indoor tanning before.Women seem to like the sun more than men do...jmho.

I really don't care for it myself.   When we fish we wear long sleeve UV shirts, and buffs around our necks and faces.  Only so much sun screen i feel comfortable putting on,  too many chemicals.  

 

But I do miss it after 60days of clouds and thunderstorms.  Seriously we have had less than a handful of nice days this entire summer.

You're 100% correct about those chemicals...most people are too lazy to read the labels.Happy Fishing...tight lines. I haven't been out once this year..the arthritis in my back has been giving me fits.

we have fished maybe 4 times this entire year.   once in February, went to Marathon just as Alberto was getting there to ruin it.  fished twice there and once a few weeks ago.  It's been a tough year to get out.   Trying for one more trip before school starts, but like I said, weather permitting, and boat troubles have bit me this year.   

 

We've been incorporating turmeric into our diets for arthritis and joint pain.  Not sure if it's working or not.

The weather Does suck down here in the summer, I'll take WNY all day long... where you can always put more on if its cold but can only take so much off in the heat/humidity down here. I'm off today and I'm inside... rains just came through again and it is a sauna out there. The birds don't seem to mind though, the feeders are jam packed.

 

Turmeric is for sure a good one to take anyways... heck, Webers mustard is loaded with it, but another good one for joint pain, arthritis, etc. is plain gelatin. My Dad swears by it and the way he gets around at his age it must be working.

Being retired, climate is not a consideration, because I don't have to go out in whatever weather is happening.  If it's too; cold, hot, snowy, humid, etc., I'm not there.

 

Born & raised in BUF.  Grad. in '69, left in '70 for my job.  Have lived in; DC, Chicago, Houston. Seattle, Williamsburg VA., and finally Richmond.   I've lived through Cat 5 hurricane in Houston (Alicia '83),  hurricane Isabel in VA. 2003, and more snow storms than I could count.  Any snow is Seattle is brutal because of all the steep hills.  So, with all that, I'd go back to BUF except for one thing, Taxes!  Retiree income does not go very far in NYS.  I love it, but can't afford it.

If and when I do retire I want to move to Loxahatchee FL.  It's a little further south than I am, and it has some advantages over where I live now.   Closer to the ocean and it's boat ramps, relatively affordable housing, and closer to the daughter and FSIL.     But that's years and decades off so can't worry about it now. 

 

If I were to move somewhere solely based on climate, Waynesville NC just outside Asheville NC is a very nice place to be year round.   Doesn't get too hot or too cold.   Beautiful mountains, four full seasons, festivals, arts and other crap.  Good hunting.

Is your pop in Fla or WNY? I know Florida gets nailed with mega T-Storms...when we get a front moving in up here,my back screams at me. I always thought a very warm climate was good for arthritis,I don't find that to be true at all...each body is different.Also,I took the turmeric route before,without much success.Just maybe my intake was too low...(sprinkled on eggs mostly).I am currently putting 50 mg's of CBD oil under my tongue twice a day now...some days I feel like a rock star..other days I feel like I want to kill somebody. I think the best climate for a person in my condition would be a place like San Diego...I was stationed there when I was in the service...I know a cat that retired there...he's pain free at the age of 71.

I always wanted to know what was in those health shots they serve the older players at OBD, i know there's turmeric, and some other stuff and I think apple cider vinegar but I never found out the recipe.   I'd like to do one of those shots a day and see what happens. But I can't stomach ACV every day, we have the tablets, the liquid is just too ghastly to handle every day

If I lived up in WNY I would probably immerse myself in hunting.   I imagine the weather is just perfect for it.   You don't know misery until you've sat in a blind for 3 hours in South Carolina in 93 degree heat.   No way the deer don't smell my perspiration.

I lived in Philly/South Jersey for awhile.  I would say that climate is a bit more ideal.  You get winter, but the winter is cut a bit shorter normally.  You do get 1 or 2 weeks in the Summer where the temperature approached 100 degrees with humidity added that makes it unsafe to be outside.  You also get a ton of Thunderstorms.

 

I think I could be talked into dropping a few degrees in lattitude.  Anything south of North Carolina is way too intense for me though.

It is. Bountiful wildlife as well. More diverse in the twin tiers NY/PA but still very good in WNY. In my area you can get a tag (through lottery) to hunt the all-white deer at the old depot compound.

I won't go south of the PA/MD border. Lol

 

When I move, it will be probably north, possibly Alaska or at least northern NH.

so do you have to apply for draws for tags to hunt anywhere or just certain public lands?   In Fl we have stupid quota hunts and lotteries.  This state has hunting so mismanaged i stopped hunting FL i drive to SC instead.

No, deer are in abundance here.  I've hit 7 of them just in cars. They give out several buck AND doe tags when you renew the license, but you can apply for the white deer lottery if you want to.

 

Most people I know kill as many deer as they can, and don't generally "tag out".

 

Admittedly I not the greatest hunter. I don't sit still well. So it's a lucky year for me to even kill 1, but then I'm done. I just want the meat. That's why I don't apply for white deer, they are for trophy, and I'm not eating something like that that is all white for who-knows-why that live their whole lives in the ex army depot where they stored nukes. Something just makes me wonder if those suckers are radioactive or are white because of radiation. They say it's safe, but I'm not buying it.
