How's the weather been?

[Tunedfrog]

97F here but it's nice in the house. I fired up the swamp cooler this morning.

 

[Chubaka]

Moving to Northern Minnesota. Sharon has family there. Try to get it done before snow flies up north.

Temps here in Houston already in the high 90deg F with heat index in triple figures. And it's not even summer yet. At 80y.o., window for me to get any outside work done is limited to about two hours in the early morning. As a climatically official jungle environment that means never getting ahead of the growth. Place is a sweat box. Had enough of that on active duty. Time seek shelter away from this madness.

Two high intensity storms - one in March and one in April. Hail did in the roof and sunscreen porch in March at a cost of $18K for the porch alone. Insurance covered some of it but still had to lay out $8K. Roof is damaged but doesn't leak and is still undone. Then April storm took down the backyard cedar tree and severely damaged the picket fence - $1200 to cut up and remove the tree. Fence yet to get repair at [probably] ~$800-1K.

Time to cut losses, sell the house and unarse the AO. But, hey, on the bright side. MN the land of 10,000 lakes. Guess I'll be getting a RC boat? -AC

Congrats. Wish you the best. Hopefully your lakes are dig out and not like fl lakes.

18:57 here. Topped out at 98° or 100° here. Going to trim some bushes. I can't wait for summer to be over.

Swamp cooler. That's not something I've heard in a while. We use to have them at work, before AC.

It was 86° & beautiful here in N.Georgia while I bashed two packs thru my Notorious

Thanks, Chu. It's gonna be a heavy lift getting there. Least where we're going the lakes are dead smooth water. At least during normal times. Ice in the winter means snow tracks and skis for the 2WD Rustler - and some kind of RC ice boat??? -AC

Don't think I could do arctic winters any more. I'm good down to 35ish but don't miss the -teens.

Manscaping.....in that heat?!

Who said it was my bush. For tge record it's not.
Besides that its the best way to feel the difference. Plus when you thin it out it needs a tan.

I prefer a swamp cooler over the ac. I have bad lungs so the moisture in the air helps.
It keeps our house pretty comfortable.

Lit the wood stove yesterday. It hasn't been really cold here but it's wet out and the wood fire makes the home feel more cosy and helps dry stuff out. I haven't even stocked my wood pile yet. Procrastination is a bitch. Hopefully I'll get time to do it next break to go cut some trees.

I don't like the heat, but I also don't do well in the cold. Good luck with your move. And can't wait to see some boat builds

It says 92 just shy of 11. Doesn't feel like 92 and it's more dry. Kinda fells good. And it's cloudy to boot. Thinking I'm gonna weed whack and prune trees.

Looks like summer is on its way, for us, next week. At least 4 days above 90° and the overnights dropping to only 70°. Hopefully, high humidity doesn't come along with this warm system.
I know that @Doom! is getting chills just reading this

Nice. I could handle that year round.

We're getting closer to @Doom!'s temps this week

 

[Doom!]

I don't like the time of year when the over night lows are in the 80's.

Thats the double whammy effect: no real relief from the heat during the overnight.
