Coming up from WV for Chiefs game.

Welcome aboard BrownsHerd. Will you be traveling north as a herd of one?
Yes all by myself!
-
We use the term pop in WV. Always been that even growing up.

Weather at least looks decent. I expect to get my drink on at about 8 at the latest. Maybe earlier. Doesn't have to be a huge tailgate. I have my cooler I'm gonna bring up that it painted like a Brown's helmet. Time to christen it

Freshly painted stripes. Orange looks light in this but it's a little darker than this. Damn florescent garage lighting.

Good point...come to think of it, I don't recall hearing anyone say "when I retire I'm moving to Ohio".
We know some people who have retired to the gulf side of FLA that have been thinking of relocating, some all the way back north.
This red tide isn't helping along with a lot of other "social", environmental and other reasons. One told me how they sold everything up north came south and might be stuck there now. A really hot year this year too around Ft. Meyers, Sanibel, etc. But nice place to visit in the winter.
So much for hating to shovel snow.

To echo Gipper- my Father in law and his wife moved back to Toledo (for reasons unknown, maybe to be closer to the kids) after living for many years in retirement just south of Clearwater. Florida is nice say November through March, but after that- if you hate heat, you're out of luck. My wife went down in July to visit her Mom and told me- it's so hot, you could jump in a swimming pool and not cool off.
One of my pals says that's why the mid south is booming- they're getting the halfbacks. Folks originally from the north who can't stand the heat and move "half" of the way back.
Think I've mentioned the hottest football game I've ever been at was during the Couch era in Tampa, in October. 95 degrees, I was sitting there sweat pouring off of me being dry roasted in the sun. Totally not enjoyable. The guy I was staying with in Bellaire for the recent Bucs game told me even some of the locals want a domed stadium to make the conditions more tolerable early in the season.
Another thing- folks living in Florida have been relatively lucky- so far. You get a storm like Michael take a direct hit on Tampa or the east coast anywhere from Miami north to Fort Lauderdale- it's curtains. And it will happen eventually.

Uhm, that looks yellow and black.

Its why the term "Snowbird" is so prevalent. You go to Florida for like the months of January, April and part of March and then come home.
That would be my plan someday soon.....though I am almost positive that Florida would not be the place I would go for the winters. My daughter lives in San Antonio and my brother lives in Prescott AZ, plus I have other friends out there in Sedona and other parts of AZ. Those two would be the more probable destinations for my future winter plans when/if I decide to fully retire.

It kind of looks like a butternut squash but flourescent lights can play tricks with reflected colors.
Or a yellow orange on the color wheel....but enjoy it at the game!

Gip- I really am getting tired of editing your phone crap. It's annoying to a lot of guys. If you can't figure out how to fix it, DON'T USE IT. !!!!
INFACT, INFACT, IN FACT, IN FACT, IN FACT, IF I KEEP ON SEEING IT- I'M GOING TO DELETE IT DELETE IT DELETE IT DELETE IT DELETE IT.

Would love to get in on a tailgate that morning near the stadium. Been a few years since I've been to Brown's stadium. GO BROWNS!
