Could have theis week but next week or 2 would burn it out.

It was a chilly78 today.  Closed up and put on a robe and such.

If we got there again, I load the spare portable AC in the car trunk. She
would have liked to have it. Mostly she just needed my old fashioned stand
up fans we had on the porch.

We used fans last week due to no breeze.  Misrable to have pollen just hanging
 about in the air.

Only Lowes here gives the discount.

Sure, big city so it's all here someplace or other.  Finding it can be a
challange, but it's here someplace.

Naw I start but they take over the real scary stuff.

Sorry about that.  Hsd one who taught drivers ed and yelled at us new drivers
almost causing accidents.  He mostly let the boys drive and we just rode
around in the back getting credit.
