It's good to have you back again

It's a cool 72.9 degrees inside the house right now, even though it's around 80 degrees outside. You might think that's a waste of electricity, but when you've been without AC for three weeks, it's nice to be cold. Yes that's right no AC. Oh and last week the highs were right around 100. Thank God Jerry has a spare bedroom. Hopefully when we go to sell the house someone will value a new air conditioner, cause man those things aren't cheap. Anyway, as you can tell by the temp, its working just fine. And its a much higher efficiency unit so it'll pay for itself in oh say ten years or so. They have to come back next week to replace some ductwork and blow in some more insulation in the attic. Sure that didn't need to be done, but with the rebates from Austin Energy, it seemed like a good idea. We really do have a good electric company here in Austin, well except for the those rolling blackouts. Whatcha gonna do?

I for one in absolutely no way think that's a waste of electricity. :)

I'm glad to hear the AC is working like a charm.

To Melissa:

Grandmother Dickey would say use the word "perspire" for humans...horses sweat.

Either way, No AC is bad...before AC we had attic fans and window fans.

AC is not a waste of electicity. Far from it. Cooling your house to the point where you change into pants and put on socks might just be a waste of electicity, but it sure was nice.

Melissa: Our Michigan Spring is going wonderfully as well... really making up for winter. Even Mary (the more deep-down Southerner of the two of us) agrees it's been wonderful!
