COLD DARK ROOM

Dam auto correct. Quiet

Hi there, hot as hell here, just not doing real well. There's nothing wrong really, but whatever it is I have lost 11 pounds in 3 daze. Torts are lovin playing in the sprinkler all day. They are so funny, keep their body under the sprinkler with their heads out.
Is that fat lizard guy still hanging out here?

Haven't seen him so far today. A few days ago, his uncle had a spleen rupture, so like @Pistachio's Pamperer said (above)... He's been more quiet lately.

@Chubbs the tegu
Maybe with Maggie on he will come out to play.

Y has solar panels on her roof, I don't know if she still uses them

I’m pretty sure she does. Had them cleaned & a solar guy to tweak them not too long ago.

This is how I envision @Tom Or Will @Kapidolo Farms harvesting their Opuntia Prickly Pear tuna fruit this time of year. This is in Gaza where it’s harvest time.

My AC bill in the summertime which is about five months runs between three and $500 keeping the house at 82°

Per Month?

Per Month?

Yup. Eereeereeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh gasp ?

We've been missing her. I've been missing the banter between @Chubbs the tegu and @maggie3fan. They keep us highly entertained when things start getting quiet around here.

Me too...

I had one in my house in Fresno, it was right over the bed in the master bedroom and loud as hell and made the blankets moist, I hate them

There you are.?

Good afternoon everyone. What have I missed. Been gone so long, 4 years

Hello. ????

 

[Cathie G]

What you've missed... Is more of an essay question than a short answer. Maybe more of a novel.

I have been on the Forum less time than @EllieMay, but welcome back!

I'm Anne, and I live in North Florida. I did live in the UK for about three years, but that was around 15 years ago. Near Blackpool and outside of Leeds.

Yep.

If I remember correctly the little brat got up there and got her cleaned herself.?

Warm hose water is one thing... Hot hose water would be another matter. Of course, I know you already know that.

Yes , I have to run the water out of the hose before I can fill anything.. whatever has been trapped in the line is boiling...but once you get to the water coming out of the tank, it’s pretty cool..

I have someone coming out Wednesday morning to do an evaluation here for solar panels.. we have had so many trees that it wasn’t an option but I’m hoping for a different verdict since we have cut so much now.. our electricity can hit $450 in these hot months.. There are a lot of grants out right now for installation costs here in Texas...

I get it. I once had a $130 addition to my electric bill per month for christmas lights (Incandescent). LED's are so wonderful you barely see the spike.

That reads like a good solar powered weed killer.

@CarolM A big welcome to Phoenix!!! He looks like a handsome dude with some room to grow.. Can’t wait to read y’alls many adventures to come!
@maggie3fan Good to see you back and sorry you’ve been outta sorts....

 

[Cathie G]

Its wonderful. I love thunderstorms.

 

[EllieMay]

Its wonderful. I love thunderstorms.

Well at least it comes with a breeze;-)

 

[Cathie G]

Well at least it comes with a breeze;-)

Yes. It is so nice. It cooled it from 93 to 73 in a few minutes...and I'm still hearing thunder in the background. I love our summer rain storms.
