The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

About an hour out from home Saturday, we drove through a heavy rain storm. Lots of cars pulled off the interstate. Finally, got ahead of it and an hour after we got home it hit us again! Lost power for 5 hours.

I do want to clarify my earlier post that the corvette is a miniature. Wish it was the real thing.

Interestingly enough, the other day Gary was speaking to a friend about convertibles. He had a '57 Corvette. I mentioned those didn't have any suspensions. He started laughing and then began the long monologue on the major deficiency of that car, including, but not limited to safety issues of steering and braking. Apparently, it was relatively easy to kill yourself in that car ... no, that's not it ... The car would kill you, either slowly over time by taking your kidney's out or quickly in an uncontrollable, momentous crash. (But either way, you looked good going ...)

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. Aahhhhhh ... the Marine Layer is somewhat back. It is slightly overcast and 70F presently. Projected to break into the lower to mid 80's. Gary is thinking of either Dog Beach or a movie for the afternoon. Mary Lou is beat after being in the sun at the water park yesterday. Some breakfast for Miss Maggie ... maybe an egg with her banana and yogurt ...

@Gary A. Are the kids still visiting?

Yes they are. Both Sarah and her husband are from SoCal and they have a lot of relatives here. So a day or two here ... a day or two there, et cetera. And Amy just returned from a trip to Ireland. So they're all here.

Two difference guys I talk to here at the store say it's hot out there. Tell me something I DON'T know. 5 plus hours.
16.07 for the week so far.
Deli had chicken and dumplings for lunch.
Not bad at all. Got to kill about 50 more minutes. Yuck.

Wow finally made it outside today. It’s 81 with a beautiful light breeze and some fluffy clouds. Top 10 day!

Hope you enjoy. It's difficult when kids live so far away, but then it makes it really special when everyone is together.

Low humidity!

Glad those of you on the east coast that checked in here are doing OK, looks like there was a good bit of flooding after the storms.

Picked up a used dehumidifier the other day to put in our RV. We've been experiencing some problems with mildew if we leave it closed up in the summer. Just hooked it up today and in 4 hours of running it's already pulled a gallon of water out of the air inside the trailer, and we've left the A/C on since we got back in. At this rate I'll need to run a hose to the outside. Exterior humidity is only 62% but has been in the high 80% to low 90% over the last week ago.

Sarah says the weather will cool off by October. So we'll be visiting them when the weather is more humane.

I grew up 100 miles south of St Louis, 20 miles or so from the Mississippi River, in what's called the Delta. At least St. Louis has some hills to get you high enough to catch a breeze every now and then. In the Delta when the ambient temperature is hitting close to the 100 mark and the humidity is the same, it is horrible.

Hmm, up here in Canada ... 72F with 47% humidity, and sun ... sitting on my shady deck with a beer (and a laptop).

That one's hard to beat.

Though it has not been that nice this year ... this is what I expect for Canadian summers ... but we are getting warmer every year ... that cold front that just came through cooled things down.

Well it was another pretty warm day today, only a slight cool breeze so I think the weather lot don`t know when we will get cool weather.
