I have to say I’ve been down here in Florida since 2016 and everyone keeps telling me my blood would thin and I will get cold easily. But it hasn’t happened yet.
IMHO it happens, but it might happen differently for different people. 

I was the guy growing up in Chicago that as soon as it hit 40 degrees in the spring, I was in shorts weather. Back then--and even now--I hate long sleeved shirts because I feel hot as hell. Pretty much any time I have to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt or sweater, I'm pulling the sleeves up within 10 min. I run hot. Always have, probably always will. 

That said, I've been in California (or the short stint in ATL) for over half of my life now. I do NOT have the same cold tolerance I had when I lived in the Midwest. I get cold far more easily than I did then. But I'm still in the situation where what Southern Californians call "cold" I call "comfortable".

Ha, I always reply "it's gotta get down in the 30s before I start bitching." 

Shuts 'em right up.

The day after HS graduation, me and a friend drove to San Antonio to work a construction job for the summer. (Family friend was the president of the company doing the work and he offered the job). 

The job involved tearing off and replacing roofing on aircraft hangers at Randolf AFB with some of it being Hot Tar. I had never worked at anything that hot in my life. 

At the end of summer, we went home as I had to leave a few days later for the start of FB camp in Iowa. We drove straight thru from SA to our little town in northern Ohio. When we arrived at about 6am and got out of the car, the temp was in the high 50's and I thought I would freeze to death. It had only taken 3 months to "thin my blood" or whatever you call it. 

But it also didn't take long to acclimate back to cooler temps. As such, I don't wear long pants until the temps hit below 30 and never wear long sleeves. Jackets are only worn below 40 deg and the coats don't come out until low 20s.

I think I'll drive the sporty car to the golf course and drink some beer!

This is one of those times where I wish I was up North.

AC has been out since Wednesday and the new system won't come until Monday.

It's a 4-year-old system! Don't ever buy Champion units. They would not honor the 10-year warranty. My lawyer has been in touch.

I went with Allied. They had good reviews.

Lloyd’s Register (LR), CORE POWER, and AP Moller – Maersk will research on frameworks needed to establish nuclear container ship using a fourth-generation reactor.

The study will analyze requirements for updated safety rules along with the improved operational and regulatory understanding that is needed for the application of nuclear power in container shipping.

“Since Maersk launched its energy transition strategy in 2018, we have continuously explored diverse low emission energy options for our assets,” said Ole Graa Jakobsen, head of fleet technology, A.P. Moller – Maersk.

Jakobsen stated that nuclear power holds a number of challenges related to for example safety, waste management, and regulatory acceptance across regions, and so far, the downsides have clearly outweighed the benefits of the technology.

Ouch.  I had to replace one of our heat pumps here, I went with Bosch.  I had an estimate from some other "famous" outfit at Costco that was a LOT more.

Our HVAC guy said the unit that was here was pretty much garbage, five years old, just out of warranty.  I forget the brand.
