    130 deg dry heat > 85+ deg heat with humidity imo.

    That's crazy talk. Lack of humidity can help you bare 10, maybe 15 degrees difference (IE 85 in humid weather is getting pretty uncomfortable, where in really dry weather 95 is where it starts to get uncomfortable) but 130 is 130, I don't give a **** if it's dry as Mars. I've been out in Arizona in 115 degree dry heat, and it ain't no picnic, and I was far more miserable in that weather than I get when it's in the 90s and humid around here. It's not even close.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I'd have to say it's a personal preference then. Been to Iraq 3 times, and 2 of those times I was around during the summer (later 04/early 05 1st dep. beginning of 06 to mid 06 2nd dep. and mid 07 to early 08 my 3rd.)

    But it's been hot as hell out there+wearing all your gear and being fully clothed. I used to live in Yuma Arizona as well so I know dry heat, but since I visited Florida and moved out to Chicago I hate it so much more.

    We're actually having nice weather in Chicago. It's been "cold" in comparison to last year. This year we had a harsh winter, cool summer, and **** rain thunderstorms.

    Right now, it should be 95 degrees + humidity. Every single day. So we're lucky.

    I hear ya - we're getting the same thing in cleveland. It's been nice

    I think it'd be good for everyone to introduce themselves. Whether you're new or been here for awhile, it'd be great to "know" each other since we share a common interest. Who knows, maybe this should become a sticky :rolleyes:

    A few McLaughlin gems I have on vinyl:

    Al Di Meola John McLaughlin Paco De Lucia - Friday Night in San Francisco
    Passion Grace & Fire

    Carlos Santana Mahavishnu John McLaughlin -Love Devotion Surrender

    Mahavishnu Orchestra (John McLaughlin) - Visions of the Emerald Beyond

    My Goals Beyond

    Shakti with John McLaughlin self titled

    All on vinyl and all in great condition. Ya, I guess you could say I'm a fan. I'm also a huge fan of Al DiMeola as well. For a demonstration of truly phenomenal live acoustic guitar playing check out Friday Night in San Francisco. It blew my mind the first time I heard it.

    Location: Dixon, Illinois

    Age: 23

    Occupation: ISA(International Society of Arboriculture) Certified tree worker/climber specialist, apprentice arborist and part owner/operator of tree care/trimming/removal business

    Favorite Sports Team (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL): Generally not too huge on sports...but I support the local teams. The Bears and the Cubs are where it's at for me! I'm more of a NASCAR/NHRA kinda guy overall.

    Favorite Music: Folk, jam bands, psychedelic, rock and roll, hard progressive...a little metal every now and then...a little electronica from time to time

    Favorite Band: lol...My favorite band is a list of about 20 bands...but to throw a few out...Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sublime

    Favorite Movie: That's a tough one...I'm a Star Wars nerd...I love all of the James Bond movies. Scarface rates up there too. Blow is another good one...Pulp Fiction...all of the Lord of the Rings movies...I could keep going on, I don't really have a favorite movie.

    Main Use for Polk Audio Speakers: primarily 2 channel stereo, with HT being secondary

    How you got into Polk Audio products: I saw a picture of some RTiA9's on Crutchfields website, found my way to this forum and now I own 5 pairs of Polk speakers, including SDA's, vintage Monitors and an RTi HT setup

    Next step to completing/upgrading your Polk system: For the HT...a CSi5. For the 2 channel...a Denon 2910, then a tubed pre.

    Reason behind your username: Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd was my favorite song for a long time, and Gilmours solo in that song is still basically my favorite guitar solo. So, ComfortablyCurt became my screen name basically everywhere...and it just stuck

    Other Hobbies: Playing acoustic and electric guitar, trying to sing, dabbling in the harmonica...hiking/camping...building and driving hot rods.

    Yes...there aren't too many people around that do it. It doesn't really scare me though...lol...I like going for a swing on my climbing line just for **** and giggles.;) I've always got at least one point of attachment, usually two, so I generally feel pretty confident up there.

    Yes...there aren't too many people around that do it. It doesn't really scare me though...lol...I like going for a swing on my climbing line just for **** and giggles.;) I've always got at least one point of attachment, usually two, so I generally feel pretty confident up there.

    I use to be the same way..fearless. I guess thats how you become a good climber. over the years I've seen a lot happen, and in this line of work - **** happens. Not too long ago a guy - right down the street from me died in an accident. tree service owner, about my age, trying to set a line in a tree from his bucket. slipped out and fell 60 ft. He left behind a wife and 2 young kids. I thank my lucky stars everyday that I haven't been seriously hurt yet. His accident could have been avoided, but there are so many unknown circumstances in this industry that could lead to the same result.

    Hey Dan, Tell me you and your guys use safety harnesses in the bucket. I won't leave the cradle without mine on.
