What did you accomplish today?

[DarkWeb]

Friday morning went to set the thermostat for the scorching day ahead and it was dead. Batteries were exploded. Cleaned it and replaced the batteries. Thermostat returned to life but the fan and AC were dead. Went out in the 95 degree sun and checked the main breaker box - check. Checked the secondary shutoff breaker box at the AC unit. Check. Noticed some rat damage around the insulation of the refrigerant line and checked the wiring. Pulled out some bare shorted wires from the wall. Separated the wires. Tried the AC and fan. Nothing.




Went shopping on Friday for three families. 90 degrees out. Got it done. I was so exhausted

It's snowing.....here.......right now....

I'm good to about 80 then I need a drink, chair and an umbrella on a beach. The wife and I would always go down to Miami-Hollywood areas before kids. That was crazy fun times!

Sprayed the roses out front with fungicide to get rid of black spot. Cleaned the outside of the picture window in the living room because fungicide is not very clear. Hacked up a ham. Found out my car AC is flat again, it obviously has a leak somewhere so I'm not sure if i is worth it to just charge it again or pay out the ass to get it fixed. I know it has a bad blend door actuator also. It's a hassle to get to but not hard to replace. Leftover pizza for dinner. Buds and suds time.

Prematurely posted - it sucks getting old!!!

Went back and finished it.

Made it to 88 today, a little cooler than the low 90's yesterday, but the humidity is up for here anyway. It's running about 30% now.

Very similar here except humidity reads 11%.
It’s the time of the year that I can maintain a nice indoor temp by strategically opening and closing windows.

Swapped the snow blower for the riding mower in the storage trailer, wash the bike and took a ride up to the store.

And for the first time let my son take it for a spin. I was a bit nervous to be honest but he came back looking like he won the lotto!
totally worth the worry but could help remembering him as a little child w/training wheels

I feel ya! I use those masks regularly. I can't tell you how many times I've yelled out some sort of profanity! It can be brand new too! LOL

We have been doing pretty much the same, opening windows in the morning and shutting them when it hits about 75. When it goes back down we put the fans in the door and the son's window.

 

[Mohican]

Yeah - fans and windows here until the humidity goes to zero and the heat goes to 90 and up. It is all about the wind direction. From the desert (Santa Ana winds) and it is hot and dry. From the ocean and it is cold and humid.

@ANC - You could always build an ice house.

Santa Ana winds

Been there done that, I "grew up" in Ventura County. Ever tried to ride a motorcycle in a 70 MPH crosswind? The worst part was when they died out and all the crap that was blown to sea crept back over the land.

 

[Metasynth]

Suited up and went to the grocery store, got some good deals on some stuff.

Pork butt in the oven, set to roast till around midnight.

Time to smoke a few.















Also, tried to check the mail today, totally confused when my mailman was running late...Goddamn quarantine... made me forget about Sundays.

I got all the shingles replaced with my roof repair project, new flashing too. Tomorrow I’m going to get some hardy plank to replace the cedar shakes and also pick out some paint ....., I can’t make up my mind if I want a lite pastel green or a misty gray either trimmed in white. Anyone have any recommendations.

Depends on how many trees are around.
Lotsa trees - gray/ white
Not a lot of trees - green/white

Gray hides the dirt

Both good points, and both colors look good on the hardy plank.

It’s 3’w X 6’h chimney sticking out the roof, I’m going to use it as a test area before painting the whole exterior.

Jesus ain't that the truth! I remember when he couldn't figure out strained peaches ;D He's got that figured now but it was close.

Pork has been in the oven for three hours. At least three hours left to go...
