I was waiting for you to post that statement. I remembered the second I saw trees and Texas in here.

It has, usually in mid summer we can hit into the high 90s. Don't forget, we also get more than 18 hours of sunlight a day here now

Good point. During my visit to Mount Rushmore (North) notice the day was way longer than SoCal and I was tripping then, I realized what was it.

I used to like long summer days but, not anymore. I like September time, it gets dark around 7:30 PM, It's Perfect!!

Sent you a PM

Hang on, I'm just going to check the temp. in EP...............................
Ah it's a nice and cool 96º and it's just past noon
HOT DIGGITY DOG!!
I'm back Sweetsie.....meetings all damn day. Only consolation was my office A/C was working.

House A/C is fixed....house was 98 degrees when they finally got it running again. Down to 84 now and dropping....thank God. House is "heat soaked" though....air is cool but walls, furniture, etc radiating heat back into the room....will take a while to bring it back down. Damage was $368....at this point I think I got off easy.

Will be nice to sleep in the Dawg Haus again tonight.

Dan, I'm glad you got the AC fixed. I know how uncomfortable it is to have no cooling. It will take 24+ hours to get the huse back to 77 F or lower.

This is why it is cheaper to run the AC 24/7 at a desire temp. It keeps all inside cool. Some people will argue that.

We normally keep ours constant even though it's programmable. If we go away for the weekend, I set it for 82 degrees while we're gone and have it kick back down to 74 2 hours before we are set to return.

$368.00, I say you got off easy. I would have paid 10X that if I was going through what you went through

Believe me, money was no object by day 3. The guy could have kicked me in the nads and I would have been OK with it as long as the A/C was fixed.

Now....on to new business.....checked your furnace lately Sweets?

True Jon, but when they come disguised like this in our summer, they're easy to spot
