Sorry for being away, but things away from here started taking a downhill turn, so to keep my attitude from messing things up here I took the time off. Not fully relaxed, but enough that I might check back on dA over the weekend.

Sorry for any slow down. Internet and cell service are trying to die in my area with only a bit of wind and no rain right now.

So given the heat and the humidity is intensifying where I live, and not likely to calm down for the rest of the month and some of next month...I think I'm going to reduce myself to just morning posts. The reason is yesterday was so bad that by the time it started to cool down some after 8pm, I was literally passing out. Even missed a text from my brother to game last night. It is not easy to cool the house down with high humidity and no A/C when sunset is about 7:30pm, but it is still hot until almost 8:30/9pm.

Posting this in case the power goes out. While Hurricane Hillary isn’t directly over where I live yet, I can see the flash of lighting and hear the distant thunder. So if I vanish for multiple days in a row, it is because of the storm taking out the power. Already had to change my ride to a family thing Sunday to someone with 4 wheel drive. Hoping the storm will be gone or mostly gone by Monday, but not holding my breath.

Sorry for not being by this morning. Was checking to see how things were after the storm before work. Besides wind and rain there wasn't much of a hit where I live. Yes the roads are washed out and no one can come or go out of town, but I can get to work and there was no damage where I live. We didn't get hit near as hard as some places in California. Though the drive home yesterday was eerie. The rain was being kicked up so much by other vehicles on the freeway that it looked like fog. Also a number of people were driving without their headlights on, which while windshield wipers are going is illegal in California.

So for those wondering why I was by in the evening for a couple days and stopped, it is because temperatures were low after the storm. Yesterday however they were back to hot, and the swamp cooler was having issues before the storm. I'm having to use it sparingly because the bearings are coming loose and rubbing against the housing of the unit. Problem is they won't be out until next Wednesday to fix it, so I need to avoid heating my room or the house up. Hopefully my department isn't a mess today given the deliveries were pushed back a day from Monday and scanners were all acting crazy.

Sorry I wasn't by this morning. Woke up late and had to scramble to work. Feeling sore given I had to burn breaks to get everything done in my department so my closer had less to worry about. Especially with all the call outs today. Feeling sore and exhausted, but going to try and get through some of the threads before either resting or gaming.

Welp the lack of a swamp cooler hit hard today. Left the house to go visit someone around 3:30pm. At the time the temperature inside was 83/84 depending on if you checked the sensor in the living room or the hallway. I got home at 7:30pm. Outside it was between 91 and 95. Inside it was 89/90' F. The only thing running was my mini 1-foot cubed swamp cooler in my room. It isn't that powerful, and the chord is about a foot. So it is restricted to where I can plug it in as well as having to manually refill it with water. It is going to be hotter going to Wednesday so the odds of me showing up at night are going to drop until the swamp cooler is fixed.

Last night got pretty hot after sunset, and didn't cool down much given I woke up to it being 86'F at 6:30am. While they did come and do repairs, it wasn't until the afternoon and when I went to switch from cool to fan in the evening that the sound that prompted the repair call was still being heard. Couldn't hear it when set to cool for some reason. So while it is manageable to run the swamp cooler, the only advantage right now is the heat advisory is over and we are looking to cool down a bit as we wait for them to come back and check out the swamp cooler again.

Sorry for not being by last night. Work was tiring and I just needed a night to chill. Will be stepping out for a bit to take dog for a walk around the block.

Sorry this week has been slow. Had inventory this week at work. While it is over, I've got some gaming plans for the weekend. I'll try to be by tomorrow for a few hours.

Sorry for not being by last night. Woke up yesterday with my sinuses feeling dry and a slight chill. Became a full on cold by the time I got off work. Trying to rest since I'm off today since tomorrow will be busy at work.

Light thunderstorm outside. So risk of power going out tonight. Doubt it will still be there in the morning.

Wow. Sorry to pop in (if you see this) but thunderstorms must be realy bad for power outage to be a concern where you are. I have always lived in areas where thunderstorms are uncommon and can never deal big damage. I may be exagorating what you are saying, but still, best of luck.
