I like being warm.
Different strokes.

I finished welding on a porch cover framework today. Just framework, so no shade. I set my pace and kept going.
If it had been cold, I'd have caught fire in winter clothing.
I just do better in the heat.
Maybe I don't do a lot somedays, but cold weather drives me indoors.

Take up blacksmithing. You'll learn to love colder weather and dread August.

Then again, I've hated hot weather a lot longer than I've had a forge...

Maybe you should take up ice sculpture instead?

I haven't figured out how to hammer the ice on my anvil and get the results I want. Unless I'm mixing margaritas.

Also, by the time I showed an ice sculpture to anyone it will have already melted...

I can only put so many warm clothes on when it is cold until they become dangerous because they impede movement. In some of the jobs I have had, that could cost me body parts or my life. I'll take warm days over cold anytime. We only got AC in our house about 8-10 years ago. Wife still complains it's hot, I sleep with a quilt on.
I hate cold. When I worked outside in the heat and sun every day, I didn't have much problem. A cabinet shop in a concrete building that would routinely hit 120°-130°, no problem. I barely broke a sweat. At night at home with a fan on, I was cold at 90°. Slept with a quilt. If I went anywhere that AC, I kept a jacket in the car. Without it I was shivering at 80°-85°.
Even now, after working indoors for 20 years, at 60 I am wearing insulated undies. If the wind is blowing, with a coat on. Below that I am putting on insulated bibs as well.

No, you are some sort of madman...

When I'm working in my shop in the summer time, if I'm forging I'll last about an hour, going through four bottles of water in the process. Today it hit 90° but it was so damn humid after three hours of working with the file on Glen's knife I looked like I had been sprayed down with a water hose. My shirt was completely soaked. The shop is a wood building with really good cross ventilation...but no AC and only a small fan (when I run power out to it...which I didn't need to do today).

I notice I'm handling the heat a lot better now that I'm lighter.

Also, my gym has a large backyard with lots of equipment. Basically, anything that can survive in the weather is available both inside and out. Roughly half my workout is always outdoors, mostly because that's the only place where the rules allow patrons to be barefoot and I always prefer to work out barefoot. When it gets into deep summer, I'm either going to learn to tolerate the heat better than I have in decades or I'm going to crash and burn spectacularly. We shall see but I'm reasonably hopeful for the former alternative.

LOL I started hating summer's heat when I was 18 and weighed 145lb...

I never claimed to be sane.
I have worked in 130° temps, on top of a mobile home in the sun while 105°, rarely turned on the car AC last summer when the temp at the house was 115°...
All while drinking hot coffee.
