It would certainly put lead in your pencil!

64F @ 74% RH, gaugus and predicted to reach 95F, on the way to 114F Sunday.

Oregon dialing for dollars by passing bill that raises the tax on cannabis from a maximum of 20% to 27%.

Carpet cleaning yesterday, so furniture all moved into the dining and kitchen areas, making navigation tricky. It should be dry enough to move them back into place today.
 
You appear to be discovering the problems I encountered in Saudi. First, no kind of plastic or rubber resists ethanol vapour for long. Be VERY careful to avoid an alcohol vapour leak. It's invisible and very dangerous because you can be intoxicated very quickly and the explosion and fire risk. I had to change the big neoprene seal on the pressure cooker every month.
Ever seen someone take a "hit" off of a whiskey still spigot? I don't do it, but apparently "instant intoxication" I guess. Probably bad on lungs.

69F @ 77% RH, gorgeous and predicted to reach 107F today, 114F tomorrow, and 115F Monday.................................

A day spent sorting through paper work, shredding, and packing for archiving.

Breakfast out a Gravy this morning with friends.
 
My lunch plans sailed away, literally. Been raining all week, so the OH and I figured we'd hit the homecoming carnival on it's last day, today. Took the Jeep 'cause I remembered almost getting stuck a few years back after a one day downpour. Jeep was a good choice, but the rides were shut down and the only thing going was a bingo/beer tent in the afternoon. Gal at the gate claimed that the vender tents had collapse during the last rain, and that they were about to pack up, but they couldn't leave town because they couldn't get the ride trucks out of the fields. We were looking forward to corn dogs, elephant ears, and greasy fries. Yeah, I know it ain't gourmet food, but we like 'em once a year.
 
Ok so just had to share my moment yesterday because in almost 20 years now in air conditioning I’ve never ran into this before.

So I get a service request that a homeowners ac unit is not keeping up. Could be multiple things to cause this so I show up to diagnose the issue. When I get there on the roof to check it out I noticed everything was working as it should. So I go inside to quiz the homeowner on what exactly is happening and when.


I notice all the windows are open and the house is at 90 degrees and it’s 102 outside. So tell him to close the windows because the Ac is working well right now.

He says “Oh I have to leave the windows open because my cat likes to look outside”. So at this point I am very confused. Cause first of all the windows are glass and I can see out of them fine.

So as polite as I could I advised the homeowner to have the windows closed while the air conditioning is running. Collected my 75 dollars and left.

I really hope this person does not have children!
 
76F @ 67% RH, gorgeous and predicted to reach 115F. A new 100 year high record from 108F made yesterday, up from 107F . 86F in the house this morning when I opened it up and turned on all the fans to blow it down. An hour later it is down to 85F.

Breakfast out yesterday with Grayfox and a friend at Gravy, where we had their delightful Chile Verde breakfast. Mostly reading and hanging out due to the heat.

No protest or riots yesterday, and I predict there won't be today or tomorrow, predicted to be 114F. I brought the camping pads down from the garage loft, in case we have to sleep in the basement for the next couple of days.
