Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Good morning Lodge! Gorgeous here today and tomorrow so I'm about to head to Cape Cod with my brother who's visiting. He came home to say good bye to my parents' house (they sold it last month and are moving in August). Told him I was planning to take Monday off so we're going to head down to the beach, stay in a crappy Rte. 28 hotel for the night, beach tomorrow and then head home late afternoon. W00t! I love the Cape!

Good morning Lodge.

Beautiful morning so far at the lake. Bring on the hot and humid nasty stuff!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

I draw the line when it hits 80 in the house. And even then, the air is set to 75.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Y'all are nuts. When I'm home, central air gets set to 68 or 69. Obviously when I'm at work it's up in the mid 80's or so.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Holy high water batman.

There is a sandbar in the middle of the lake that is usually a go to destination for people on the lake. Typically the sand bar is 50 yards wide by 100 yards long and it's usually about two to four feet deep and surrounded by 50 feet of water. Not this year. On the sand bar water ranges in depth from 6 to 8 feet deep.

I taught little gII how to snorkel today. He caught on really quick. I gave him a crash course on the dock and then we cruised out on the lake and found a spot. He was a natural.

Grilled NY Strips, grilled asparagus and wild rice for dinner tonight. Fruit pizza for dessert. Bon fire tonight and margaritas on the rocks will be served on once we are done eating s'mores.

I want to quit working and hang at the cabin 24-7-365. If any Lodger would like to write a check to the g family for a couple million dollars I sure would appreciate it. ;)

Yes, they are nuts. Anything about 65 and the AC is on and cranked. When I get to a hotel, the first thing I do is turn the AC down to 64, and then go out to eat while it cools down to a livable temp. Anything about 65 is hot, and anything about 70 is unlivable.

If I had central air instead of a wall unit that sorta cools my apt, things may be different.

I'm just learning this myself. Wall units are useful for one room, and one room only. Unfortunately, my wall unit is not in the bedroom, which has ALL the western exposure. Blech.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

That's okay. My garage is on the west side of the house, but the house faces the south side, and I don't have shade. The sun just bakes the living room during the day. Two years ago, when it was 105 one day, I had the blinds shut, the bedroom doors closed, all shades drawn, and the A/C set at 78. The A/C never once shut off all day.

One word for you: TREES.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

The city, in their infinite wisdom, took down my ash trees due to the ash borer a few years ago (between the sidewalk and the curb). That part was understandable. In their infinite wisdom, they planted pear trees to replace them. I'd rather have a couple of evergreens or maples, like what my neighbor has. I don't have a big front yard, so I don't have much real estate to work with there.

Ya, I'm closer to 72 being too warm for me, especially sleeping. I'd have my A/C lower, but not sure it could ever reach mid-60's in the summer down here.

Yep. My apt faces west. In summer, I close all the shades when I leave from work. IF I have the A/C on, I'll crank it all night, then just leave the fan on during the day (cheaper). When I get home, it's still comfortable.

I am in line for that cash first. I have been waiting longer.
