Yep...mine is cranked up as we speak! I do need to turn on my little room fan though. For some reason, the house gets stuffy late at night. Maybe it’s just me. LOL!

I’ll need to go to bed soon. I have blood work to have done in the morning...and I’d like to get it over with at a decent time. See ya tomorrow...oops, no I won’t. Have a good weekend at the museum, and here’s hoping it’s cooler up on the mountain. :)

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[radu]

Your house probably feels stuffy because you turn your A/C off at night. I don’t know how you can stand it. Ugh

We keep our ceiling fans going year-round to keep the air moving so it doesn’t feel so stuffy. It feels that way even with the A/C on if the air is still.
I also have a tall floor fan that blows across the bed, even during winter. I can’t sleep otherwise.

Sleep well. Get out for the blood draw as early as you can to beat the heat!

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Were you and Gizmo able to head out to the lake yesterday or was there another heat advisory?

[E.G.C.]

Well, as mentioned yesterday there was another Heat Advisory so we did a ride in the country instead and spent the rest of the day under the AC:

Right now our plan is to do Chisolm Trail Park later today. We'll see what happens.

[radu]

I didn’t know if you might have slipped out there early, before it got real hot.
Poor little Gizmo is unhappy he couldn’t get out for a romp. I hope you can get out today.

The mud is dried, and so ready for the next coat. Hopefully, this one won’t take as long.

Today I am waiting for the washing machine guy, and have to figure out a way of reattaching the pipe under the trailer so he can drain it.

Penny LOVES her porch, but it’s even been hot out there, so right now she is enjoying the A/C.

[SkyDancer]

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) I am but had to head to Denver for some employee conference on this COVID issue plus other company stuff. I’m staying at a friend’s house while here.

[luvie]

Oh, my! We don’t turn the AC OFF....we just turn it up a bit so it doesn’t get too cold overnight. We’re both cold natured. LOL!

[luvie]

BAM!

[luvie]

PRAY FOR OUR BRAVE TROOPS.
THEY HAVE BEEN PUT INTO EXTREME DANGER.

[left that other site]

Prayers up for our troops!

[luvie]

Amen. Latest: 11 Marines and 1 Navy medic dead. Heartbreaking.
