Historically the web notes we have to get to the end of August to have the average temps drop a pitiful 2-3 degrees.
I've switched from buying the Gatorade in the jugs and went straight to the powder form which I can mix into water bottles...now I'm almost out of water bottles.
Service call this morning had me in an attic. I didn't stay long. Even the spiders leave the attics this time of year.
The homeowner just moved down from Portland and asked "Is it usually like this?"
She said she was tired of the rain and decided on this area.
I guess one would be, but I think I'd take rain over this crap. Nothing moves in the middle of the day.
The AC only shuts off when I do it manually. It just can't keep up and it's only six years old.
I have to admit though, once the sun goes down it cools off pretty nice. There's no humidity to deal with.
Even my birds got some extra cooling this week. I had a large piece of burlap and attached it to the wind side of the cage. It has the misters on one side and I keep the other hosed down with water. It makes for a decent old style evap cooler.
The birds sit behind it all day long.
Here is a picture of their cage although this is from earlier in the year:
They seem to enjoy it and it's 12' X 8' and 10' high. They must like it, they lay and hatch eggs all year long.
I believe the only comfortable animals we have are the two fish in the Koi pond.
Too bad I'm broke and the wife works on weekends, or we'd be at the coast...hold on let me check the weather over there via the Internet....son of a ...it's 60.1 degrees.
The low today in Pismo was 56 and the high 61.
Screw Alaska I'm going to the Central Coast.
Now to come up with a $1.5Mil just to buy an average house in that area.
I must have been a bad person in my previous life to be forced into attics in the middle of the summer. Somebody else better enjoy their Yin because I'm stuck with the Yang....
