Howdy Ken!

We had days that the A/C didn't shut down until the sun went down. I would rather have the heat than the white crap. We're suppose to get nasty again for the Fourth.

Makes me wonder how I survived Summer without A/C as a kid. LOL

As long as my A/C is working well...bring on the heat. It does get a bit expensive however...the electric company loves it. Supposed to be the same type of weather until Saturday #4...weekend looks pretty nice. High temps are predicted to be in the mid 90s for the next 3 days...with very high humidity.

When it gets too hot to look out the window, I just reflect back on New Years Day when the temperature was a bone chilling -16°.
