Too Hot To Work

Thankfully it cooled off a bit today mid 70's. Sunday afternoon/evening was awful, not that it was hot hot maybe in the mid to 80's but the humidity made it probably one of the worst days so far I think.. Reethy cancelled her show in Detroit Sunday night. Two people here in our little berg died the previous weekend when the temps were in the 90's helped along by the fact that neither had an a/c. They were both on disability and lived across the hall from each other..It wasn't that they couldn't afford the airconditioners, people had offered them, but here in Ontario landlords can tack on an additional $50 per month to the rent in the summer if you run an air conditioner and those folks couldn't afford it.
 
I can't complain...

But today (the first day of a 1 week vacation) I set about clearing out the clutter in the carport and shop. So I was working outside a fair amount, moving heavy washers, old gas ranges, and shop equipment around, and actually got overheated. Temp here was in the 70's.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a bit warmer but I think it will be just fine. My main worry is getting everything reorganized and cleaned up so I can start using the workshop as a workshop.

OMG THE STORM IS SO INTENSE, look at the picture I just took, the hail is pelting the house and the lightening is coming one every second or two!

<blockquote>...but here in Ontario landlords can tack on an additional $50 per month to the rent in the summer if you run an air conditioner and those folks couldn't afford it.</blockquote>I assume that means the landlord pays the electric. If the tenant pays his own electric, and the landlord can still raise the rent ... that ain't right!
 
I love lightning too...

But we only get it at most once or twice a year. Often this will happen in August or September, for a late summer storm. Not a lot of rain, but dramatic thunder and lightning. Usually in our winter rain storms, there's no lightning. Which is fine with me, as it reduces the chances of power outtages and phone line surges.

Right now I have half my collection out in the open, outside, and the other half will follow tomorrow. So if there's no lightning or rain for the next few days... that's just fine with me!
