Hi Mark,

>>> out there was incredible today :) :) Feels like 90, but the temp
>>> only says 69.. nice sunshine though for a change (bg).

>> lucky you... we're looking at 95+ inside the house and my
>> computer room AC is fighting, on the "bad" days, to keep
>> the temp down to 75F :?

>> ow... yeah, that's a pain this early, huh...

> very... today, the thermometer at the front door registered (at least)
> 100F and the computer room AC was fighting just to keep it at 80F :(

Hey, a nice warm spring day, isn't it? geez..  fighting to keep it at 80..
wow..

>> At least here, if
>> we open the windows without the sun beating in, the breeze is
>> really cool..

> yeah, we get that, too... but the breeze just stops at times...

Yeah, us too of course.. those dead moments.. you want to yell haha.. but here
when the sun goes behind a cloud the temp drops drastically if your outside...
boom :)  You have to see it, to me, it's a shocker (grin). The horizon is just
such a trip, I don't know how to describe it. When the sun beats down on you,
it truly does beat down on you, though.  Maybe it's the elevation. As soon as
the sun goes behind a cloud, it's chilly (at least right now (grin). That will
change soon though.

>> in other words, you don't get warm air blowing
>> in.  Later, that'll be different of course (g). Later, nothing

Yeah, I rememeber in Louisville how much that could cost (ouch)..but it did the
job!  The problem here with an older house though is we don't have house AC...
these historical 'Colonial' whatever houses.. you can't get them set up with
'house' AC, really... I mean, we're lucky they have a heating system in this
house (laugh).. and you should see the setup they have for that! It's a Steam
Heat system..  Somewhere in there the previous owners put two furnaces in, one
oil, and one propane to heat two different sections of the house.. lovely
expense :) Bah.. Anyway, no way to get AC in here except with Air conditioners
in the windows so that's what we do :)  That works pretty well though.  I think
last year we had maybe three of them downstairs and maybe three upstairs,
something like that.  At night when we sack out, we'd only leave the one
running in the rooms where we were sleeping or whatever.

>> but this early it takes a long time to heat up the house after
>> the night's cool temps.

> :?

Some mornings, it's darn cold here in the morning :) :) :) Well not so much now
at least.. this morning it was warm :) 60F or so :) (ooh heatwave :) )

>> i don't know how well i'm going to fare this coming week when
>> i'm away to the beach for a few days with my friends from
>> Pittsburgh...

>> Oh, now that's not fair at all.. it's much too early to go to
>> the beach :) :)

> yeah yeah yeah :lol:

(sob) It's not fair!  Oh well.. if I could take cold water, I could go fishing
up yonder in the delaware  - and believe me that water is darn cold :)

Think I'll skip that though :)

Take care,
Janis
