HOT Today

[fishfighter]

This heat wave has been unreal. Heat index of 110F the last few days. So, no sawing and took on washing the house. At lease one can hose down if one gets to hot. ;D

I have two electrical services one for my house (125 amp) and one for the 28x40 hybrid (Post and beam 1st floor and conventional home built trusses for the second floor) barn (200 amp). The bottom floor of the barn has 10 inches of insulation in the ceiling and over 5 in the walls. It is a workshop and my wife's studio. We only run the barn air conditioner when it is really hot and only run a small portable one in the bedroom on really hot nights. My wife spends a lot of time in the barn in July because she does a 9 day show at Lake Sunapee (NH) the first full week of August, but normally the air does not have to be run a lot. I get a combined bill for the two services and it normally runs between 140 and 190 a month. My bill for July came in today $315.17!!!

Last month power was under $150 for full electric house for 2600SFL. The AC has been blasting and set at 73F in the day and 70F at night. ;D Winter months is when my bill goes up unless I burn the fireplace.

We are still in Michigan where it is cool, but my informant says that it is HOT in Mississippi because well.....it is still in Mississippi.   


 
I guess this picture is proof of why??

I always thought that you was a bit too close to the sun, but I never said anything about it.  Persimmon?  You just must be sun-struck.   ;D

MM, keep a eye of all this rain coming. Something like 10" in your neck of the woods.

[Chuck White]

Should be cooling down a little in this area, we are forecast to get some sorely needed rain!

   I got out rode up to the top of the hill then carried a 50 lb bag of corn to my feeder and stocked it and put in new battery. Bow season starts next month a youth hunt mid October when the granddaughters can come harvest an antlerless deer.

     Then hooked up my 3'X4' cart to the ATV and cut, loaded and stacked 2 loads for an ash top I cut down yesterday. Got way too hot and had to come in and take a cool shower, drink several large glasses of Koolaid for the sugar then had lunch.

    It is way too hot and I am way too old to be working that hard in direct sunlight in this kind of heat. I will have to schedule my work for early morning and late afternoon.

Back home now and the first thing I did was walk back to my mill. The wife hot on my tail like a flea on a hound dog. :D First thing she said, " don't even think about it". :D


Maybe by the weekend. I have 6 trees that I have to fell so I can get the power line ran to the camp. Really wanted to keep them, but the power company has to have a 30' clearance to pass. :(

[tnaz]

You better get back in that house and get ya a glass of tea.  Mama will be on you with the belt!! :D :D

That mill can wait a week.

[fishfighter]

You right, but logs are starting to back up. Got around 15 nice oaks to saw up.

[Magicman]

We are getting back into the hot.  93° now.

To hot means to HOT

I see that you are a Hard Case .

[fishfighter]

Yep, it's what is keeping me alive. Really. I been fighting heart failure going on 6 years. All due to a viro infection. >:( 3+ years ago, two doctors told me and my wife I had less the 6 months. Told those two doctors to just get me back up on my feet and they are fired. They just don't know me and I'm a fighter. ;D

I do have my bad days, but I try my best to make each day a good one and I give the Good Lord thanks for each day He has given me.
