July check in.

[Kanyon71]

Crazy that I’m looking forward to the lower 80’s temp this weekend. Yesterday I was taking my daughter to marching band practice, car said 113 when we got in, it had been sitting out in the sun all day so didn’t think much of it outside of the leather was stupid hot. Figured it would drop a ton once we were driving. Yeah, never got below 100-102. Heck no that’s way too hot.

Meanwhile, it's the coldest summer in a long time here in this part of CA.

 

Man, these low to mid 70s have been just awful.

Ya ya ya just rub it in. 
 

Took my daughter for her high school open house today and we walked all over to see where her classes are. 
 

I thought someone had turned a hose on me with the heat and humidity.

I got lucky - i was in Omaha a few weeks ago for a conference, and managed to be there after the first heat dome, and before the next 90 degree day. Wooooooo.

Yes...August..don't know why,,,but glad it is...just checking in

[Kanyon71]

Hopefully August is a little cooler than July was. I’m dreading seeing our electric bill for the month.

Happy August! Got a Fall weather preview today and for the next couple days. Woke up this morning to temps at 64 with a nice breeze which is a welcome relief and enduring 90+ temps and high humidity for the past several days!

Checking in for August!  Having a nice break from the heat this morning.   A nice and breezy 74!

Happy August!  We are cooled down to lows in the low 60s, highs in the upper 70s/low 80s, which is perfect...hoodies at night, shorts/swimsuits during the day, welcome to the midwest  It's too bad the air quality is horrible due to the Canadian wildfires.  Last night was a very hazy sunset.  

 

Hockey tryouts this month, the same week that school starts, let the emotional disregulation begin!  DH's birthday is this month, and our state fair.  This year is flying by!

Here for August.  Finally cooled down.  65° and my windows are open.  

[cllehto]

Happy August!

Cool breeze here today. Hopefully it stays in the 70s this month.

 For the 1st time since I bought this place in 1988, my electric bill was over $200. Stupid electric rate increases coupled with a heat dome it’s been “feels like” 95-100° way too much this month. 

Same with us. It's awful, isn't it?! Are you on AEP?

[HomeinKS]

Happy August!

My wife used to complain about our $200 electric bills.  Then we lost power for eight days, "Still think $6 a day is too much to pay for electricity?"  Perspective.

time to get ready for back to school

[Kanyon71]

School started here on the 1st. Wife and daughter weren’t happy. One attends and the other one teaches. Well to be fair my wife started back a week ago to get the classroom setup and all the planning and meetings.
