Thats crazy! I had on long johns, blue jeans, and bib-overalls on today, and was still cold. Seems like it is one extreme or another.

Good luck with that, Chris.   I'll be sitting in a treestand tomorrow morning with temps around 20 and windchill at about 13. :'(  But honestly I'll take that over your heat nearly any day of the week (ask me again the end of Feb ;)).  I can't stand the heat.  Ask my wife, I rarely set foot in the kitchen. ;) :D

Mate 43 deg! you can keep that, we were still in the 20's here in Glen Innes today. I went to Armidale (Not far from your new venture) for our annual Rangers meeting and Christmas BBQ, it was pretty hot under the iron skillion roof where the barby was cooking but nothing like you guys got.
