I hear ya on that electric bill, I've been trying to rationalize spend the cash to put in 2K worth of solar panels.. this hot sunny weather leads me to think
that maybe I should cough up the money and make some electricity to offset the A/C bill.
The heat, the storms.. I lost some steel roof panels off the barn last monday, we had a severe thunderstorm come through, 1/2" hail, horizontal winds over 80 mph, and 1" of rain in my rain gauge in 15 minutes.. I'm sure there was more rain, but it couldn't get caught in the rain gauge 'cause the rain was coming down horizontal..
I've had a busy weekend with my 40th highschool class reunion on Saturday night, and then a bunch of them coming over today for lunch and a ride in an old car and a few beers..
Tomorrow is errands day, and then back to work on Tuesday..

We haven't had any substantial rain here in over 2 weeks. We've got .04" in the last 2. Pretty dry!
I hear that! I was thinking the same thing. Last week it ran 24/7 for about 4 days straight ...Wood'nCoal wrote:Can't wait to get the electric bill for all this air conditioning.
