The unmistakable scent of fall was heavy in the air yesterday morning on my hike, and the first hints of gold are starting to show in the higher altitude vegetation. Summer has peaked and the long, gradual slide toward autumn has begun.
Hmmm, OKAttachment 336795
Yeah... I'm trying.Quote:

Probably shouldn't ask. Lost another barn cat last week too.
Big social distancing hug. Sorry KQ.Quote:

Sorry to hear, KQ.
I hope everything gets cooler in all senses.
Positive vibes sent your way, KQ......In other news, Phoenix breaks record for number of days over 110*.........34 and counting. Fuck that.

Thanks for all the thoughts everyone. Still trying to figure out what's going on with him. Treating him for an ulcer right now. He's not a happy boy. So hard when animals are sick. I imagine it's worse with kids but at least they reach and age where they can tell you what hurts.Quote:

Relocate the farm to Sequim?
Mmmmm Dungeness crab.......Quote:

I'm wearing 2 jerseys and a vest to mtn bike, its been raining all summer, you must have hogged all the summer
this weekend looking to be hot as balls in my hood
Me too - actually at least 7 days of 105 +/- highs. Making up for a relatively mild summer.
Boom!!!! The heat finally showed up. Next 10 days are mid 80's which is 90 in the house without the AC going 24/7. Time for SDG&E to make some money off me for the next month.
49 degrees here this morning. Crazy weird.
Our basement bedrooms are 59 degrees in the summer. It's a great sleeping temp but the kids like to complain about it every so often.
That sounds nice. 62 in the AM here. No cooling system in my adobe place. I open the windows wide at night, close them almost all the way during the day. That manages to keep it below 80 degrees inside at worst.Quote:

We started our MTB ride today at 0730 - temp was 45*
We finished at 0945 - temp was 75*
Reached a high of 96
Low of 64 tonight
Gonna be same Sunday and Monday, only hotter at sunrise
And it’s hotter in Paradise
It's been in the 50s in the morning here and I have a similar m.o. where the highest window in the house has a fan that blows out the air all night with the ground floor windows cracked. Then I'm up at 6:00 am and open up the ground floor windows with fans blowing air in. I shut up the house around 8:00 am and today with it 84F at 15:30 it was 67F inside and only got up to 70F by 19:30 when it got to be 70F outside.Quote:

I could live with that in a well insulated home. Windows opened at night and closed during the day.Quote:

Pffft - it was 83 this morning at 6 AM with 72% humidity, with thunder.
This is not right.
Same here - got to 97 before the thundershowers started 30 min ago. Now it’s 66 and raining in sheets.:party:Quote:

That's what we do - no A/C - and it works almost all the time, so long as the overnight temp drops to low 60s. Yesterday, and today in particular (smoke), it's not cutting it. 90* in the daytime, only dropped to 70* last night, so it's about 80* indoors now.Quote:

Dunno, do you like moist swampy air?
Generally speaking, evaporative/swamp coolers are best thought of as last resort, or at best a pre-cooler where you're not exposed to the listeria that comes off them.
