Too warm for me. Older people need to have moderate temps. Not too hot or too cold.

I hear ya! Both ends of the spectrum bothers my joints.

two amazing thunderstorms in a row minus heavy downpours. It didn't rain a lot in my area but a nice fireworks display.

I would love that, except it always causes a fire in the mountains, and that can go on for weeks, or month's.

Me too, I can forecast rain better than the weather people.

Say what , say what?

Yup, putting school supplies on discount and moving in Halloween stuff.

I had to look at this twice, cool!

That is absolutely crazy.

Oh wow. Never heard that before wonder what 65 degrees does to the unit? Color me curious.

It does something to the condenser. Son in law confirmed, he is in civil engineering.

Well the issue has to be with my laptops compatibility with this site because I am not having any other issues when I am anywhere else on the internet.

It shouldn't do anything. They have thermostats. As soon as the inside temperature is equal to or lower then the outside air the compressor shuts off and just blows fresh air. They must have some strange advice givers in Colorado. I blame it on the pot.
EDIT: I need to make a correction. As soon as the inside temperature reaches the self-set thermostat, the compressor will shut off. If, of course, you have the thermostat set at "sub-zero" it won't shut off until it reaches that temperature, which it probably won't. That could be a problem and do damage to the equipment. Otherwise it will just happily turn itself on and off, compressor wise, for as long as you desire.

Hahahaha!

Being a woman of a certain age, lets say I push the thermostat below 65 at night-everyone else pulls up the comforters to stay warm, me I fling them off. Glad I'm not going to blow up the system other than from wear and tear.

I can crochet, I learned in 4-H and in home ec in school. My mom tried to teach me to knit and I made a dish cloth, but I don't remember any of it now. I do have all her knitting needles though, I thought I might try it again sometime.

We didn't learn to crochet, in 4-H. But I can make and wire a lamp.

At least it wasn't Christmas stuff!

We have already had Christmas in July, and the trees are still up.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Need, need, need, in the southwest.

I'm watching the flloding in Louisiana. Don't need that much rain. Our humidity is horrible. My daughter's hair is like this.

Here are some more pictures from the Arboretum.

The guide told us to use our imagination when looking at the pine trees in this picture. She said the trees had genetically mutated and all grew this way, but she said that if we used our imagination the trees might look like elephants, especially on the left. I kind of see it anyone else?

Some hydrangeas.

There was a maze too and that was pretty fun, only a few wrong turns.

Thanks, so much for sharing. Kansas did grass burning too. Reminds me of our time there, and the flowers are beautiful!

According to someone on here FOF is supossed to be a day and night parade ... might be true.

I wouldn't mind seeing that but not as a permanent solution to MSEP leaving.

Yes, for us to run the air conditioner at these temps, to 50 or lower to keep it running would damage the compressor.

I can't believe it's the beginning of preseason football games. The summer is flying by.

No, please no!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

That is absolutely crazy.

Yeah, the school supply thing I get because we have a week's vacation left but Halloween? Too much temptation to buy (and eat) a bunch of candy I don't need.

Yes, I can certainly understand that.

We got about an inch before I went to sleep late last night. About 2-4 am it was crazy. Turned the TV up so I didn't hear the rain-rolled over and went back to sleep until a kaboom about 4am, pulled pillow over head-went back to sleep.

The louder the better to me, with only one ear working. Those noises put me right to sleep. It's been a long time since we have had thunderboomer's.
