WEEK 26 2021
Last Week- Sun- Mon- Tue- Wed- Thur- Fri- Sat- Next Week
Saturday - Hot.110F. But it's been like that all week.
My brother's friend Kathleen wanted to see the dogs, so they came by for an hour or so.
Then we all went to dinner at a new place Mike had heard of, The Raven's Nest. I ordered what I though was going to be a steak Cesar salad, but instead it was entire pieces on steak, soft and delicious, on a bed of lettuce. Very very tasty, and expensive, but Mike was buying, so...
Friday - Hot.
The swamp cooler motor finally failed. I knew it was coming, but hoped I'd have a few more weeks. I had a replacement ready to go, always thinking ahead, that's me.
Only it was a different size and the base plate is different.
Since there wasn't a 1hp motor available I ordered the motor plate for the 3/4 hp motor - I usually run the cooler on low, so on high it should be between the 1hp and 1/3hp settings on the old motor.
Thursday - Hot.
Went into town, checked on cats and veggies, everything was fine. I stopped by Win Co first, and picked up some snacks and a couple of pre-made Hoagies, so I'm set to spend an hour or so there.
At Sheryl's behest I picked any ripe fruit or veggies, so that the plants will keep producing.
The fresh mulberries off the tree are extremely sweet.
S reports that the beach is cool and foggy, and that the crowds for the 4th haven't arrived yet.
In the mid evening, just after sundown, I was sitting out back with the dogs, throwing the ball for them to fetch. And I thought to my self, "What a pleasant evening, I wonder how hot it is?"
Checking, it was 91F with a 23mph wind blowing.
The desert changes you, man.
Wednesday - Hot.
Tuesday - Hot.
Went into town, checked on cats and veggies, everything was fine. They have the central air set to 80F, which is understandable, but a bit of a disappointment for me.
Monday - Hot.
Doing various things.
The dogs were fine overnight. I put the kennels where the draft from the cool house air will blow right on them. Swamp coolers need exits, so this works fine, though they don't really seem to mind heat much. But I feel better about it.
I did get a small nip from Marko, when I picked him up to put him in his kennel. It wasn't serious, didn't break the skin, but we will spend some times making friends with each other in the next few days.
I'll be driving into town every other day to check on R&S's cats. They just put new central air into their house, so it should be nice. I am also to keep an eye on the tomatoes and veggies that S has in the back yard.
Sunday - Hot.
I didn't do any shopping - I'm actually pretty well set, since I know S is gone for a few weeks I've been stocking up. And there's always the little market.
