September all topic 2017

Hello all,

Welcome to the ninth month of the year. Sometime this month the heat will go away, the sooner the better I hope.

I can try and organize a GTG, but most likely, I will not be able to attend as my finances have gone down the toilet lately, and the car's cruise control and AC have stopped working within a month of each other.

Happy Saturday Nor Cal. Going to try and get to the bank early today before the heat sets in. Got to pay rent.

Headed into the hills early tomorrow. Going to be looking forward to the 50 tempature swings yp near Fall River, rather than sitting in the valley and only seeing a 10 degree swing..

Good luck with that. I hate living in a valley, but don't have the resources to move out.

Yesterday was brutal. Low temp in the morning was 88, and we topped out at 105. That is way above my comfort zone, and I was barely functional.

Low this morning was 92 when I got up at 4AM. Not a good sign, except that we started getting an on-shore flow, and the temp actually dropped to 84 by 9AM. We have high clouds doing a fairly good job of blocking the sun, so maybe it won't be so bad.

Inside temp started at 92 (4AM), so when I saw the OAT drop down into the 85-zone, I turned on the whole house fan in hopes of sucking in some of that slightly cooler air.

It was 108 yesterday, but I spent most of the day in the apartment. Today is only supposed to be 103. Tomorrow they say it will only be 98. Should be nice after a week of 100+ temps.
