Just having a whine - 11.22.2009, 05:10 PM
It's not even Summer in Sydney (well a couple of weeks away anyway) and this weekend we had some heat! At my house Saturday was 41C (106f) & about 85% humidity but Sunday was 45C (113f) & 75% humidity, it was still 40C at 7.30pm...freakin ridiculous!! It was made worse because I don't have AC - which is being installed Friday...why when you order AC does it ensure a heatwave??

Yeah, I know...whaa, whaa

that's just brutal. we get the same temps where i live, but the humidity is nothing like that. it usually stay below 30%. it gets up to 118F here, but the lower humidity makes it seem not so bad.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

Would you like cheese with that whine ?

Here in Florida we are in the middle of Fall and it was 84 today, Still pretty nice though.

I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

Damn! I live in the Netherlands, and sometimes it snows over here in November. But the past last days we got awesome weather! 17C and sunshine, enough to drive outside with a t-shirt on.

Hey BrianG, before he gets his a/c would it be alright for him to use a FAN

Took the family wakeboarding yesterday to try & escape the heat but it was honestly like looking into a hair dryer while underway in the boat. We would normally see temps like this in late December/January...thought I'd get in early on the AC

Well right now I should be looking outside at some white stuff and instead we have been seeing temps up into the 60's(F) last week. Over the summer we where constantly in the 90's with 90%+ humidity, the humidity is a killer, made work brutal and a couple nights at the track I had to ask if it was even worth it!

Heat's on, but only set to 60. Power/Gas bill from last month was $250 and I expect this month will be worse
