Yeah, we've been 10 degrees hotter but a lot less humid so it actually feels better here. - spamlet Jul 5, 07:44
Since June 19th here; we're 11deg a day above average....just north of 94 on average. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 07:42
Damn, we are usually that hot this time of year. We may break 90 today, not sure -- nm - amoxy Jul 5, 07:36
It's really brutally hot. The air conditioning at home can't really keep up with it on the upstairs floor. -- nm - pmb Jul 5, 07:35
I don't normally bitch about the heat, but yesterday was like stepping into Satan's crotch. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 07:33 17
- Amy and Bub went to the pool yesterday. - Spawn Jul 5, 07:48
- LOL - did it smell bad too? -- nm - JenBro Jul 5, 07:37 1
  - I could not breathe in long enough to tell. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 07:38
- My NEST thermostat tells me that it ran for 19.25 hours yesterday. When I looked at 5pm it was 80 in the house - oblique Jul 5, 07:35 13
  - how *is* nest? are you seeing huge cost savings or is it just cool? -- nm - amanda Jul 5, 07:35 12
    - I think it was doing awesome in the winter because I never really set a schedule before - oblique Jul 5, 07:36 11
      - how does it know you're away? -- nm - amanda Jul 5, 07:48 2
        
        It has motion sensors -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:50 1
        
        that's kind of creepy. -- nm - loosilu Jul 5, 08:08
      - I'm finding that in this heat letting the house warm up while you're out is a losing battle. The house just can't cool fast enough to make it - pmb Jul 5, 07:38 7
        
        we're only low-to-mid 90s here, but I considered leaving the AC on low while I was at work today. I mean, I have six months of free electricity. why - amanda Jul 5, 07:50
        
        we opened the door long enough to let each dog in the yard - groiny Jul 5, 07:40 4
        
        My dog wouldn't go out yesterday. She just looked at me like "F you, man. You go sh!t out there" -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:41 3
        
        get one of those plastic kiddie pools. - groiny Jul 5, 07:42 2
        
        For the dog I'm sitting, I turn on the cold water in the bathtub and he jumps in and just lays in it and chomps at the water from the faucet. - Max Jul 5, 07:45
        
        I don't want to boil my dog either -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:44
        
        Agreed. It's a neat feature but really, it doesn't matter because it can't keep up in any regard either way -- nm - oblique Jul 5, 07:39
The Solar Windy City -- nm - Max Jul 5, 07:33
