The biggest thing to deal with here is that Summer is soooo loooong, it can start getting hot in September and last through to April .......8 months is tough to take and our Winters are over pretty darn fast and then Summer is back again
I've seen 80 degree temps, golfball-sized hail, a tornado and a couple inches of snow fall- in that order- happen in the span of 8 days around here.
The only thing that didn't happen was the river didn't turn to blood (even though it flows through Atlanta) and the locusts got lost along the way somewhere.

I can relate. That's the South in July and August.
Hot here means that the humidity and the temperature are racing to 100 Fahrenheit.

Been there, done that recently. In our case, it was the DirectTV remote. The good news is that it happened when they were small enough that it survived mostly intact (the battery cover has seen better days and needed some adjustment to make it fit again).
Augie T. Doggie and his sister are only 5 months old and just got done teething. Nothing was safe then and very little is safe now. There are chew toys in every room and they still try to eat the house occasionally.

Don't know about German Shepherds, but I know for a fact that a drunk Pekinese is hilarious.
My sister had a Pekinese that was the biggest mooch in the world. He would haunt you for a taste of anything and was not above 'helping himself'.
Her 1st husband was a serious light weight when it came to drinking but could admit it even to himself. He had a bad habit of fixing a bourbon and coke in a really large cup and only staying awake to drink about half of it. One Friday night, Buster the Pekinese got into the cup when he fell asleep on the couch. I showed up around 9 the next morning to help with a project my sister had planned for him to find both man and dog sleeping off the previous night- both in the exact same position and snoring. Bobby was laying flat on his back on the couch with his hands over his head and Buster was laying the exact same way right beside a knocked over 32 oz plastic cup.
There are few things more pitiful acting than a Pekinese with a hang over.

My 3 year old great nephew uses a Black Lab- Mastiff mix as a pillow when he sleeps at night.
When he was a little baby, this is the dog that slept beside his crib and was the reason that the baby's room door had to be left open at all times. If the baby cried, Hermes was going to see why the baby was crying and little things like closed doors weren't going to stop him.
Safest baby in the county.

They do run on road courses too. Just making left turns on those could be a minor problem.
Yeah, but they ain't nearly as much fun to watch after Boris Said taught some of the regulars to actually drive them. After a couple learned, the rest had to go out and learn, too.
Back in the day, it was hilarious. Never seen 3 cars do a synchronized spin out before.

Depends on the model rifle.
In a Toggle Link (Henry, 66, 73)?
NO.
There's a reason that Uberti hasn't came out with a .44 Mag toggle link replica. That level of pressure and recoil is too much for the links in a pistol caliber action.
In a Winchester '92 or '94? Yes. Been there, done that.
Marlin '94? Sure.
Big Boy? Don't know.

Weather folks tend to hedge their bets in these parts, especially during the summer.
The '20-30% chance of isolated thunderstorms' they forecast for basically every day from May to September around here is a good example.
What they mean is,
"It's hot enough for heat effect thunderstorms to pop up in the afternoon, so let me put a small chance of isolated storms in the forecast just in case someone happens to be stuck outside where it ends up raining today."
They know it's gonna rain for a short period of time somewhere today. The question is, whether or not you are standing there during the 20 minutes or half an hour that it will last when it happens.

You're supposed to shovel snow?
We just buy a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk and wait for it to melt.
(By the way, did I mention it was 75 today?)

I believe the correct answer would be
'Yes, ma'am.'
Unless she infers that the negative is what she is looking for, in that case the correct response would be,
'No, ma'am.'
Either way, I feel that it would behoove you to make sure that the last word out of your mouth is, 'ma'am.'

I'm a big blues fan.
There may be a few that recognize the Chester Arthur Burnette quote that's part of my signature.
And I'm still mad about how they misrepresented Mr Burnette in Cadillac Records.

Alabama is close. We had all 4 seasons in 8 days several years ago- 80 degree temps, hail, tornadoes and a couple inches of snow- in that order.
The joke around here that we tell the transplants is that if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes because it will change.

So your chipper/shredder has a 'fuel leak,' too.
And I have no idea why it was sitting on the dock of that catfish pond.

Eventually, I'd end up with too many to list due to bandwidth constraints. Step 1 would be buying a big enough piece of land to shoot them on. Step 2 would be building the house to hold the walk in vault that will be the 'gun safe'.
THEN we get to the filling it up part.
For CAS use, I'm thinking a pair of 5 1/2" nickel SAA's in .38WCF with matching 20" and 24" '73's would be a good start. Probably a custom '66 in .44Russian to go with the brace of '72 Opentops, too.
For nonCAS use, that could take a while to list but a 4 or 5 inch Dan Wesson .45 Colt or .44 Mag would work admirably as a 'woods gun' for starters.

9mm Federal.
Seriously, .44 Special or .45ACP depending on if I'm shooting a wheelgun or one of those new fangled bottomfeeders.

I've seen 104-105 here and, with the humidity- it's not fun at all.
With the humidity we have, 90-91 degrees, which are on the low side for daily highs in the summer, can result in a heat index (humidity plus temp- think of it as the South's answer to wind chill factor) over 100 pretty much every day.
Saw 116 in Phoenix once. I went outside around 2 pm on purpose just to see what it was like.
It was great in comparison to triple digits in Alabama. The sun was strong on my skin but it felt like the mid to upper 90's do around here because I'm used to the temp adjusted by the heat index.
The thing is, you don't realize you are sweating there since it evaporates immediately.
Here? The part about having to take a shower because you worked up a sweat drying off from the shower you just took is accurate.
There's no such thing as 'dry' in the summer, only 'less damp'. And don't let it rain. It really is possible to have a 100% humidity without the air actually turning to water. The air just gets so thick that you need to cut a slice and chew it instead of trying to breathe it.
