What's with these 18-20something young ones and weather?

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.

When I was younger I used to go out and embrace the Winter.
Do that and the cold will never bother you I said. :D
I'm old now and my snowmobile is for sale. :shock:
Yep, used to snow ski, go tubing, ice fishing, winter hunting and many other cold weather outdoor adventures.

Now I feed the fire. :lol:

I was an 18-20 something up until about four years ago. I wore shorts year round down to the mid 20’s. My metabolism kept me warm and I had great circulation. Now I sit in front of the fireplace with a blanket over me looking out the window and seeing the neighbor kids frolicking in the snow in their pj’s and wish I could join them.

Went into the city on some errands and had lunch at Famous Dave's. Really good brisket BTW! :D
Anyway, a family came in for lunch and one very large young man, I mean tall and big boned, was wearing a pair of those Bermuda shorts made of some silk like material. It was four below zero with a brisk wind blowing. :shock:

Well, when parents don’t teach their children common sense, this is what you get. Thank God we had parents that cared and paid attention to us.

Kinda like when I see guys riding their Motorcycles in sleeveless shirts and shorts when it's only 50 or 60 degrees out. I know better. When I ride it's chiily even at 70 degrees. Must be a statement, like using their highway pegs when traveling through town from traffic light to traffic light...😂🤣
