Yep. Feeling pretty good. I just need something to move the air around in the garage. Gets a little toasty in there.

I have been trying to find one of the old window coolers, but haven't found one. I don't need a real big one to cool the garage.

I had one a few years ago. Had to toss it as it was more a soaker than a cooler with all the rust holes in it.  :laugh

Some of those at WallyWorld are good for a room or if your in front of them but not good for a garage. I need something that will move a lot of air.

Talking 113* or more for Friday. Channel 3 was showing 113* but was mentioning 115* for the end of the week.

WC is saying 116* here on Friday. :good  I have a combo heat/AC window type in the wall in the shop, keeps the room pretty comfy, of course being insulated helps too.

Channel 3 was saying they are watching monsoon activity that we may get late this week. That means the humidity is on the way.

Sunday morning I was out working on the pattern for the carpet in the boat when I saw a drop on the paper. Thought to my self, I'm not sweating. About then it started to sprinkle. Rolled the cover back over the boat and then it started sprinkling pretty good. Enough to jack with all the dust on the trucks to the point that seeing out the windows was difficult.

Well, it's almost the middle of July just about that time for the humidity to start rolling in. So far WC isn't saying anything about that for here yet, forecast is still dry and sunny for next week. :good

Channel 3 was saying this morning we have a slight chance for some kind of monsoon activity over the next few evenings. Looks like the best chance is Sunday with a 10% chance. 10% chance is we may get a breeze and a sprinkle or major dust storm with tree bending wind and a down pour during that dust storm causing a mud storm.  :laugh

had winds yesterday afternoon into late evening. got a sprinkle sometime over night. Windows were all jacked up on the Taco this morning. Humidity is coming up as well. Over the next three evenings we have a better chance each day for some kind of monsoonal activity.

This morning channel 3 was saying Sunday we have a 10% chance of storms. Monday and Tuesday we have 20% chance. The next few days the humidity is going to be on the rise. If anything is gong to get done out side it will be early in the morning.

Channel 3 pulled storm chances for Sunday and left Monday and Tuesday. Adding 10% chance for Wednesday now. Tiss the season to just keep an eye to the sky.  :good
