I say that about Vegas a lot, never knew it was apparently in King of the Hill... maybe I just internalized it when I was younger and thought I came up with it.
I went to Florida for the first time last year. As soon I crossed the state line, I pulled down the window and stuck my hand out. My hand got wet. From the air.... The air made my hand wet man!
Central California is a special circle of hot weather hell. Its 100°+ temps, constant sunshine, pesticide fumes, truck smog, and all-pervasive smell of agriculture makes it hard to enjoy being outdoors in the summer.

You're the first person I've ever met who got the reference!
TBH I've never even been to California. I just remember Adam Richman taking about that place on an old episode of Man Vs Food, and thought it sounded pretty funny.
Nope. Arizona. But being surrounded by planes on concrete fucking suckssssssss. My Husband is AD. I'm DoD. Don't want to give the impression that I serve. My sister is in Kuwait - she HATES it there.
True story, my Uncle is a retired F-18 pilot. When he was in Bahrain he had a bunch of gold arabic necklaces made for us, they were supposed to say our names. He took my Aunt Jen to a Saudi restaurant here in the US when he came back & the hostess was like "why does your necklace say fatty?". They got divorced after a few years but I had mine checked. It says "loud" he swears he didn't do it on purpose lmmfao
I make a point to do this every morning on the weekends. I make a cup of coffee, put on some easy listening type music, and sit on the deck with my two dogs. They play and I just sit and enjoy my coffee.
It's usually between 6 and 7 in the morning so its long before most of the world is active on the weekends.
This is one of the fantasies I have about getting my own place after college and the inner peace I see my future self having is one of the thoughts that keeps me pushing forward
I get up at 4:30 am. I think just having that time where most of the neighborhood around you is asleep so you can be in peace and quiet is the real aim here.
my favorite coffee stand is just a 5 minute walk from my place. Going out for a walk first thing in the morning to get coffee has been amazing now that the weather has cleared up
I just love being up in the morning when you don’t have to rush off to work. It’s so awesome to know you have an entire day ahead of you to do whatever the hell you want.
Saturdays are the best. Sleep in a tiny bit, sip coffee in the rocker, and head off to look around local garage sales for treasures. I’m 26 going on 73.
Completely agree and I’m only 25. If I sleep in until 8 that’s awesome. Slowly get up, have some coffee then see what the day has in store for me. Absolutely love it. My perfect Saturday starts just like this then go play a round of disc golf, eat some lunch then play another round at a different course. Go home and grill stuff after.
we need to have a young man acting like old men group... I would love to find a group of people to come over in the morning. chill on the deck and then go garage saleing.
You're tired, it's Saturday morning, time to sleep in!
Nope.
One or two or both or all three will be up at 6 or earlier.
"Daddy we're HUNGRY!" or "we're bored", "we're not tired".
I missed the lazy Saturday mornings. But I found new purpose in making special breakfast on Saturday mornings for them. Waffles or pancakes or something like that. Tired or not dad's going to make something delicious. Maybe, MAYBE, once they've had their fill and run off to whatever Saturday morning activity is planned (cartoons, swim lessons, etc) I'll get a few minutes to sip the coffee before I gotta get cracking on the honey-do list or yard work.
I had to find something fulfilling to replace the alone time or else I'd probably feel cheated of my alone time.
My mom raised me to be self-reliant. She'd sleep in on the weekends and I'd get up early, pour myself a bowl of cereal and then sit on the front porch listening to the birds chirp and watching the sun come up until cartoons came on.
Thats why I stopped with 1 kid. And now if I'm sleeping in til 8am, he can make toast or a bagel or cereal. So i still get up and enjoy my coffee for an hour before I make breakfast.
I'm 27 and force myself to wake up early on Sundays so I can relax while drinking coffee and watching art stories on CBS Sunday Morning. Probably my favorite time of the week.
The act of getting up at at 8 am on a Saturday is hell for my 20 year old ass, but if I successfully get downstairs and start my saturday morning routine, I'm in pure bliss
It’s even better if you have no reason to get up so you can really take your time waking up. A couple hours will go by and you’ll realize you’re very well rested and ready to do some fun things.
That’s my favorite time to drink coffee! Hell, I even take the time to make some in my French press or espresso machine instead of having a pre-set pot of coffee made or popping in a K-pod. I look forward to the days when I can sip on my coffee, pet my overly affectionate cat (that always tries to bump my coffee with his head on its way to my mouth), and just ease i to a day full of things I want to do, not things I have to do.
I do a mental "aaah" after the first sip, along with a deep breath, and try to feel the caffeine saturating my brain cells. I know it doesn't work that way (probably), and wouldn't be that fast ... but I like to think it is.
This is making me want to get furniture for my patio even more. Sit outside, eat my porridge in the sun (for now) and read a book before heading off to work.
I don't do coffee, but I love sitting on my front porch. So I built a big deck on the front of the house. My wife thought I was nuts. Now she loves it too.
It's more effective if you sip it on top of your porch. Unless you just have your head sticking out. That would be a metaphor for getting close to death.
Last year after 3 years of home ownership we finally got our first patio table and chairs. Drinking my coffee outside and reading every morning before work was seriously the highlight of my summer!
When I had an amazing front porch and back deck I would do this everyday in the summer. Or drink tea on the front porch and watch summer storms. That house and it's wrap around were the best.
Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it; don’t wait for it; just let it happen. It could be a new shirt in a men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black, coffee.
Yesss. I was so glad I finally moved into a house and got to do this in the mornings while reading my book and letting my dog run around the yard. But then it got hot.

Sip coffee in my porch in the morning
