Default When is it going to cool down?

Man temps in the 90s with humidity way up there too I can't even go outside without sweating profusely.
I tried 3 times in the past two weeks to get my .45 Hawken, .58 Rene and .50 Accura V2 out to shoot but just can't seem to force myself to bear the heat/humidity.
But on a lighter note, I'm taking my wife down to FL on the 12th and I'm coming back myself on the 18th. I will be a bachelor for the entire hunting season. I foresee many hours in the woods and several days of solitude up at our camp. No elec, no running water and best of all no phone reception. And located smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

96° here with humidity you can almost see separate just by walking through it and not a breath of air movement. Plus I'm smack dab in the middle of the woods. I had just one morning a couple weeks ago that it was decent to shoot the muzz a few rounds, then it got to hot (for me) to shoot.
I reloaded some CF .450 Bushmaster rounds and its to darn hot and muggy to check those for consistency.

Its so hot and muggy there hasn't been a bird on any of the dozen + feeders since just after daylight. Hope it rains soon and cools things down.

Won't be long though.............

Well, it's your fault for being so cheap and not buying that Abaya she wanted.

She has a nice pair of platforms.
Caitlyn wants to know if they come in low-lift and size 12EE.

The real question .....

Is Bronko being freed for the entire hunting season, or is Bronko's wife being freed from Bronko? And who's happier about that?
