Heat wave
 

My thoughts go out to those suffering through the current heave wave (and having to budget for August electric bills). It has been very hot here in Texas, but I heard from someone in AZ where they expect temps will reach 111 tomorrow.
Be careful. Going outdoors in extreme heat for even a little while can knock your socks off.

At 3:00pm today the "feels like" temp was 127.0 degrees. :ack2:

Then it clouded up, rain came pouring down, and dropped the temps WAY down.

Of course, humidity level is at 96%.

It was just a good day to just stay inside.

I live 32 miles east of San Francisco.
Coming home from work Wednesday thru Friday last week it was 106 degrees at 3:00pm
I don’t like it at all.
I’m to old for this heat.
Get off my lawn.

Mean while my daughter is living in and taking care of our retirement house rent free in the PNW and enjoying 75-80 degree temps.
I’m such a sucker :).

My son is fixing to move to the PNW. I love Texas and for now have chosen to stay but August here is just horrible.

I got the bad news that both my upstairs and downstairs air conditioner/heat pump units will need replacing sooner rather than later. The downstairs one is already letting me know that it may not make it past August. Ugh that's a $6k bill I do not need.

He is going to like it.
I do and every 8 weeks or so I spend a week there.
I actually like the rural area politics.
It more or less leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone.
Non of the big City stuff.
Being a centralist I dig it.
Been there 30-40 times and never seen Seattle.
I heard I wouldn’t like .
If it wasn’t for August I could see me being a Texan.
Sounds like my kinda people.
Good luck to your Son.

Thank you. He and his wife spent a week looking around last month and sent pictures to Grandma (me). It is so beautiful there!! Yesterday son was over to set up Skype so I can see them and my grand baby once they move.

Yeah it's one of those crucial (but not fun) purchases.

Temps dropping here now. By 5 tonight should be able to open window and put fan in for some decent sleep. Spent 5 hours on a roof top fixing jail a/c yesterday. My building is on one of the highest area's in NE Ohio. Not fun. I sucked down 3 gatoraides and I was still thirsty.

Yeah, but isn't it a DRY HEAT? :rofl: That's much better, isn't it? :hehe:
