I wish we had real weather. All we get is morning clouds, then moderately hot in the day. At least it cools down in the evening, where we can turn on the whole house fan and suck out the hot air. I think we've only had the A/C on twice this year, for a total of about 10 minutes.

Morning, had T storms all night.

Good morning Rusty, tstorms all day for here.

 

[Barrie]

Got a tstorm going on now.

Morning, we had 60 mph winds and rain for an hour or two at 1am. Blew all our iron patio furniture away. Took all the dead branches out of the trees.

 

[Barrie]

Good morning Chris.

Whole house fans are great!
I open the house up every morning to cool it down so the air conditioning doesn't need to kick on until 1pm or later depending on how hot it gets that day. With the ceiling fans on I keep the AC set at 78 and it feels nice since we have no humidity here.

I keep mine at 72 because our power is cheap. Run my ac 24/7 all summer for 200 a month.

Run ours about 70 all summer. Heat bothers my illness. Cooling runs about $180.-$200 a month.

 

[Havasu]

My bill is $260 a month if I don't run a/c

 

[Barrie]

$110.00-160.00 depending on the weather.

My son took my grandson to havasu for 4 days. Boat broke down so I responded "oh well".

He then said the Blazer broke down, needs batteries, the heat ate the couches.

Here is his reply...

****
New carb $500
Plastic oil reservoir $100
Batteries $700
Stereo $700
Impeller $75
Labor (none)
And possibly $2000 for couches

I think you got everything out of that that you could.

Ouch! An expensive 4 day weekend!

Where is that recliner that it could have disintegrated from the heat?

I would respond, "oh well".

Beautiful evening here. 70 degrees, sun is starting to go down. Slight breeze. It took a few years to get used to it getting dark at 1030 pm.

 

[Havasu]

I would respond, "oh well".

My response was "nice" and he got all pissy and asked why I would say "nice", and I replied because it was his money and not mine!

 

[Havasu]

He turns off the a/c when he leaves. I would put it at 95⁰. He pays the bills now, so his call.

Gotta weigh your options, pay the bill or replace things. Same goes for heat in freezing climates
