Summer heat and bad decisions...

The heat is amazing. I can't work on any outdoor projects until about 7:30-8:00 pm. Sucks!

I guess I need to suck it up....seeing that going into a housefire while wearing 50lbs worth of gear gets REAL toasty....lol

Summer sneaks right up on you. It's 90+ in MA today.
Thank God for central air.

I am still baffled at how some people still do not have Central AC. It weirds me out...

I spent some volunteer time distributing free electric fans locally. It makes me feel fortunate to have a/c as some don't have anything at all.

In Honduras, no house has central AC. Just the little window units in each room. And even at that, dad would only allow us to turn it on at night because of the cost of electricity.

I am happy to be where I am

Few people have AC out here but it barely breaks 90 at the hottest on this side of the mountains. We have so many large trees around us the downstairs stays about 60-65 all summer.

I made a good decision today...Drink some beer and hang out in the AC.

I'm am going stir crazy being off work. The beer helps.

It's been brutual in Jacksonville recently. You know the saying "it's not the heat it's the humidity"? I now subscribe to that fully. Whenever it is 98% humidity I run from my AC house, to my AC car, to my AC work and then back. I'm a golfer and refuse to even go hit range balls right now it's so hot. This sucks!
