Good Morning!!
Well, it's been HOT here lately and the temp-o-meter out my back door read 100º F today and it felt like it was 150º F. Hot and humid.!!! The kids and I made it an "inside" day today and since I was oncall for work, it was just fine for being inside since I had to be in any way.
Been riding my motorcycle to / from work every day. Spent $24 on fuel cost for my commute to / from work for the entire month of June. We just got our fuel bill in from Exxon/Mobile today and the total bill was down by almost $400.!!!! A HUGE savings in fuel cost and I love the ride TO work the best because its in the cool part of the day. It's been 27 years since I've been on a motorcycle and I'm glad I'm back on a bike and I'm also glad that I took the Motorcycle Safety Course. I learned so MUCH about riding on the road during the course. I've spent most of my cycling days riding in the dirt and very little on the highways, but now it's all highway and no dirt. A whole new perspective on riding motorcycle around from the old "dirt" days.
The shop temp this afternoon registered 114º F and because I only have one A/C unit working in the shop, it would do no good turning it on. The heat load is very high and it will be next year before I can get a larger new unit to install in addition to the remaining working A/C unit.
The wife is at her parents place in Alabama taking care of her mom since she had surgery this past Thursday and also taking care of her dad as he nears the time to start doing dialysis(sp?) because of his poor kidney function.
I still need to cut firewood for this coming winter and I still need to get a sawmill to mill those 6" x 12" x 9' hickory timbers I got from Larry Browning a while back so I can also start my woodworking workbench this coming winter.
Well, enough rambling on about me and what's going on here....What about you???
What did YOU do this weekend?
Best of weeks to you all.
