You’re finally acclimated! :)I've always been able to handle the heat. Lived in FL for 25 years and didn't spend a lot of time in the AC. Never even had a vehicle with AC there. I've just been using the heat as an excuse to be lazy here lately. That and with the new job, the excuse that I worked today and now I'm done, as if I can get away not doing anything after work. Been wasting Tues mornings too because "I just worked 40 hours".
I'm getting bored with all that and sick of things going slow around here. I've already gotten slower in recent years. Don't need to make it worse. Of course most anything you do, with the exception of raking and digging, costs some kind of money which I haven't had until recently.
That's my new bottleneck. Unlike my new neighbors, I did not win the lottery. My To Get list grows longer by the day so I need to be serious and mature with spending, baa haa haa haa.
Got my eye on another automation controller. It would save me a ton of work. Most controllers have low power relays, 1-2 amps, that operate separate high power relays that I'd have to buy and mount and wire in. This controller has 15 amp relays so it would directly control motors for drop down sides, gable vents, drip pump(s), even fans when/if I get some. I already have more controllers than I need so if I get this one, I can easily sell enough to pay for it.
Got my little tool bag on the way. I'm ready for a trip to Menard's to get chain link top rail for tunnel frame bracing and roll up sides pipes. Will probably go tomorrow after work. Another excuse I've been making, just worked ten hours, don't want to do anything but go straight home and sit.
