    It was 102°.
    It was a sienna with lots of glass.
    Outlet temp goes up in proportion to outside temp.
    Can’t extract the heat. Re circulation helps..
    They were feeling it wasn’t as cold because it was so hot

    :wave: evening Chuck

    Always starts here when it's time to go home.

    I agree!!! Unfortunately too many folks don't. Stores won't enforce it, since folks get defensive when told to put a mask on. Hire some security to enforce it!!!

    :rant: :facepalm: shouldn't have kept going.... Replacing my sprinkler system valves, running new wire.... when digging the box out, realized that one line was 3/4" pipe from the valve.... thought I had put some 1".... was doing the valves.... why did I have to decide to keep digging to put 1" pipe for the zone??? It's not the digging, it's the digging through all the :censored: tree roots.

    :wave: evening all

    Very cool. There are a lot of smaller ones around here. How about the guy who found levies from the1880s.

    It would sound better when they tell their friends " ...and then the technician called us dumbasses, changed the cabin filter and it didn't do a bit of good!". Then the rest of the world could then ascertain;
    1). You did attempt to at least improve air flow.
    2). It's hot.
    3). They don’t quite understand the magnifying qualities of glass in relation to extreme heat and intense sunlight.

    Where I live everyone else has aged out and I am one of the few originals left. Some are from divorce. Only one neighbor near me been here more than 10 years, they invited me over for the 4th to met the family. Her father graduated from West Point and went to Nam in 65. We spent a lot of time together talking. His wife has terminal brain cancer. I have no words. Despite the 6 foot rule I found myself grabbing his hand and squeezing it more times than I tried not to. He did not resist. Neither of us cried but might have been some onions in the air, and his wife did not either as she sat at the head of the table and pretended that she did not hear us talk. She is a class act all the way around.

    Everyone else around me is moving in and finally buying the houses around me, my new neighbors are cutting all the trees down. WTF? Their property so no say from me but WTF? They are all younger. I live here because I didn't want to live in a damn corn field. So I live in a ditch with huge oaks and other trees.

    Spent all day running around the male dog for eye exam for breeding (already been breed and yes he did pass) and youngest son for pain in his spine. Kind of forget when he had cancer it was also in his spine. Dog passed his eye exam, son had spine injection and they are trying to isolate the fusion area. Held him best I could on the way home form the Cities for more than 2 hours while driving 60+ mph. Lot of signs there yet about Floyd.

    3 weeks of furlough over in the morning and back to work. Don't want to yet didn't want to go on furlough to begin with. Not my choice. Spent last 4 hours listening to music.

    How it should have been



    Reality. Well back in the day



    But where the truck ended up in the ditch and I am the responsibly adult.



    But the dogs help a lot and make up for it. Just saying...

    I had to do a little digging thru my photos but there are 10 mines 1/2 mile from my house. They each go back about 500 feet. I don't have any history on them but here is a fun fact.

    Gold was discovered here in Santa Clarita before it was found in Sutter's Mill up north. The difference is people kept their mouth shut. The Oak of the Golden Dream is where a Mexican guy was pulling wild onions under an oak tree and discovered gold. It is next to the Disney Ranch where they film lots of TV shows and movies.It is a national landmark.

    [​IMG]

    Fun fact #2 in our area. Oil was found early, even the local native Indians knew about it and used it. You can go on a nice hike today and see it bubbling out of the ground. The first oil wells west of the Mississippi were dug right here.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Good morning everyone.

    Steer clear of the craziness that’s going on, if you can.

    Good morning all. Took the family up to Provincetown last night. Hadn’t been there in almost 30 years. Cottages turned into houses but other than that not much changed. Making my way home today.
