It hit 90 in Flagstaff today. And I still have 4 bags of snowmelt in the bed of my pickup and my snow shovel on the front porch.

I think I may start hating you Flag. :mad:

I took the dogs for their annual vet appt today. Two PM. A large Golden Retriever (103 lb), an OES (82 lbs) and another OES (78 lbs). The OES are in full coat, my choice.
My car has been parked outside for the last week as we are painting the kitchen cabinet doors in the garage. So my poor car started out hot.
It was like a sauna in the car. It takes 10 minutes to get to the vet and the car never was really cool.
We go into the exam room..... 3 dogs, me, the vet, and two assistants. Their AC was quickly overwhelmed and it became a sauna.
But I do get a discount for taking them all in at once.

why dont you move your snowshovel to the back porch?

You a-clowns;) must understand something. At 7000 feet elevation the solar radiation is much more intense than at lower levels. The air molecules are farther apart and therefore cooler air temps but buildings and bodies heat up alot more than they do for you lowlanders.

But, when the sun goes down it gets COOL. 52 tonight, read 'em ad weep!:P

Hey FLA, I'm glad I took your advice about putting a window unit in my bedroom. My electric bill is actually lower this year. I used to run the evap cooler 24/7, now I only run it when I am awake in the mornings and run the a/c when I sleep in the afternoons.

My APS bill dropped from $48 to $38 over the same period last year. And I am going to catch hate for that.

My last bill was ..............$430. <gasp>

Bah! I lived in Albuquerque for a year. We didn't have AC, we had 4 swamp coolers. There were two coolers for the kitchen because the main rooms were on the second floor to take advantage of the view. Wierd to yell at the kids to leave the doors open. And our electric bill was unbelieveably cheap.
Too cool to swim until Noon unless your pool was heated. Jeans and sweaters at night in August.

So, yes, I think I hate you Flag.

Yeah, APS has to jack up their rates to pay for all the corrective maintenance down at Palo Verde. I think those plants are shutdown for safety issues by the NRC more than they are online.

Would you like a Lakeland Electric hat?
They dont have any cute accronyms but they are well known for their iron clad contract they signed 6 years ago. This is the one where they agreed to sell one of Orlando's suburbs electricty, and forgot to add in any possibility of a fuel surcharge. My fuel surcharge has been equavalent to the electric charge for two years now.............I guess someone has to pay for that little oversight.

Come to think of it, they can't afford to give out hats, so forget it.

84 at 8 AM, a high of 105 today
We are about to go to a level 4 drought status. That means no outside watering. At all.
