Rain.
It's in the distant past by now!

Cleaning is a lot harder work than most people realize. Especially if you're old like I am, or low on energy.

Speaking of which... those hot temps that have been threatening for the past week or so look like they're finally arriving.

Assuming I can scratch enough time away from appointments (mine, hubby's, daughter's, dog's) and regular chores I should attend to some housecleaning.

Also, there is an opening in the outer brick part of the house (outside of the fireplace and flue) that I paid no mind, since it only leads to an ash cleanout below the fireplace. But the dog started paying serious attention to it this past week, and then serious attention to sounds in our attic space and garage perimeter. And seeing as we have an abundance of roof rats in the neighborhood...

So I got partway thru stuccoing a mesh screen in place (had to run off to hubby's Dr appt B4 could finish) and so far the screen hasn't been dislodged. Checked the garage floor perimeter for signs of rat infestation ... trail of rat droppings, "rub lines" along frequently used runs. So far, maybe found one dropping. But tomorrow I'm going to set a rat trap in the garage, baited with bacon "glued" onto the trip plate with peanut butter, to see if rats are in there.
If not, I'll put it up in the attic.

I took myself a little nap this afternoon. When I woke up several hours later I had that dread thought... "oh no... This little A/C doesn't have a chance at keeping the house cool".

Little did I know at the time, because I had YT playing on the TV and the sound of a loud fan drowning it out, my furnace blower (from my furnace in the attic) was blowing all the hot and humid air from the attic into my house!!!

This happened once... many, many years ago. It just hasn't been an issue for so long I forgot about it. It got so hot in my attic today that the furnace thought the burner was on and it was time to start spreading that sweet heat throughout the house.

I don't even have any idea how long that was going on for. 10 minutes? 2 hours?

At that point, the 2nd floor read 78 degrees, and it was a hot and humid 78 degrees.

It's back down to 77 now and a few hours later it seems like quite a bit of that humidity is already out too.

Thanks house.

We're in only the 2nd day out of a 7 day stretch of 90 degree temps. It only got up to 75 before the temps outside started to break yesterday. But at least it cooled off one degree pretty quickly and you can tell that in only several hours it is notably less humid in here. I'm glad I got that dehumidifier in the basement.

This weather needs to cool off. I'm not feeling the digging work I have yet to do and in any normal year I'd have been outside doing that all day today. Just the middle of June here and we're already having temps we usually only see in late July and August of the worst heat wave years in these parts.

I guess this particular heat done isn't gonna wander off any time soon.

I feel for everyone stuck under it!

I'll give it a couple more tries, but if this doesn't work I'll have to put out poison bait stations. (Snap and glue traps risk killing other things)

Well, I made up for yesterday's disaster with this morning at mah jong. I got first place. I broke 1,000 points after 4 hands, then I had winds and dragons in one hand with 7 doubles which netted a points total of over 11,000. Then later I somehow managed to get all 8 flowers. That alone was 8 doubles and with what else I had in my hand the points on that was over 28,000. So, I finished the morning with over 42,000points.


Also computer temp is reading 28C which is 86F. Pretty warm around here.

Holy smokin' tiles, Batman!

That sounds like an astonishing score!
Cool!


Oh BTW that sounds pretty toasty for near coastal BC. Seems EVERYONE is roasting in N America except us. We're at 85F, which is kind of expected for this time of year.
