Sturgis is coming and winter won't be too far behind. Hang in there guys...
It hasnt been over 72 here for the last 7 weeks. Setting in my recliner beside the air vent probably doesnt count. Kind of glad I have been laid up, heat index at 104f the last couple of days. Getting thunder boomers just about every evening. Big gully washers erodeing drive ways. Temporary cooling every thing off and then turning so humid you cant breath. I did manage to fix a 028 today and tested it out. Condenser was bad and you cant buy a new one, so I bought one of those new fangeled electronic replacement coils. $30 bucks to the door. cheap way to ressurrect a other wise useless saw.
Frost at 8000' this morning .
I don't miss it but I do look forward to it , I think the Norwegians say "There is no bad weather , just bad clothing" .

Me missing winter is pretty much summed up by this.
The only thing I am looking forward to this winter is the annual winter jeep ride. I have finally graduated from co-pilot to pilot.

I'm ready. Its been unusually warm here this summer and I am over it.
And we have a new stove to break in, kinda excited about that.

CaseyForest: Which stove did you choose?
Hearthstone heritage 8022. They gave us 20% the floor model. We were going to go with this stove anyway, but the deal made us jump on it now.

Hell yeah I miss winter. .I got my gas/electric bill for July.. $270 to cool my house down sucks!
Uncle Moustashe has seven kids, nine kids? Figure each one has two, three friends... His screen door would act like a fan.
About the same here.
Gas and electric during the winter hovers around $90. When we run the air it is around $250. And its been hot this year.
Wow, my monthly bill runs right around $50-60 year round for electricity. Heat is by wood with the oil furnace used only to warm up the house on a cold morning. I leave the A/C off most of the day with only the furnace fan running on warm days. Movement of the air keeps one comfortable for quite a few degees above calm air.
We grew up with a whole house fan. It was about 4' in diameter and had its own dormer on the roof on the back of the house. Had the pull down attic stairs, with doors in it that opened in the summer. Open the house windows and doors, wow, made a heck of a difference. Just make sure the fireplace ashes are cleaned out good in the spring. Actually, I can still hear it running just thinking of it. Of course we had black and white TV. Had to go to the neighbors to watch color.
We've had whole house fans in the past as well. They do make a huge difference once it starts to cool off outside.

Driving through southern Louisiana today. They closed the freeway just as we came through.
Here is one of many places where the freeway was under water.
