Hey y'all! It is thundering here! Radar shows some showers northwest of me. They may not get here, but it is nice to hear the thunder and fantasize! Maybe I'll get lucky!

My AC guy's wife told me yesterday that he'd get to me the 1st thing on Monday morning. I didn't question it, but my wife is skeptical since Monday is a Labor Day. If he calls to delay, I'll ask him if I can come to his shop and buy the caps from him. My coop power company pays for one AC checkup each year up to $100. Even if he comes later in the week to check my installation, the service call will be refunded to me if we call it an annual checkup.
As a side note, my grandson complained that he had a hard time sleeping last night. He said the blower on the window unit made too much noise. Do you reckon our kids are a bit spoiled these days?
We weren't allowed to turn the AC on in our house until June 1st. And it was usually shut off on Sept 1st.

Yes, a tease here too, but the thunder was exciting!

I still usually make it to June 1 before I turn it on, and try to turn it off as soon as possible. I don't think it will be off tomorrow though. It has been off a few times during the summer here though. Maybe I grew up to act old, before my time! :confused3:

Glad you can make it for that long. It's funny though what a difference construction and location make. We have a house built in the 1920's that is shaded by large oak trees and has high ceilings and lots of windows. That house can be very pleasant in a lot of hot weather. We only have window units in three rooms and usually only use two of them in the hottest times. It can get cold in the winter but a small flame on the space heaters can keep it very comfortable.
The house where I grew up, which we still have, was built in the 1947 and was never comfortable in hot weather or cold weather when I was living there. It's not shaded and does not have high ceilings and the cross ventelation is non existent.

It has been raining here too. A light rain, but rain, none the less! I think I threw my rain gear away a couple of months ago. Guess I'll go play in the rain and storm. It might feel good! :laughing:

Rest in Peace
We had a little lightning and thunder in the distance at 3 a.m. And we got a tenth of an inch or so of rain but now it looks like it's moving south and staying just west of us.
