starkruzen Posted July 30, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2010 Had a day off today so I took the old girl out for a ride. Was out for about an hour riding along the coast of Palm Beach on A1A. It was a picture perfect day, blue skies, clear blue water along the beach. About thirty minutes into the ride I was practically soaked with sweat. I just don't recall it being so hot hear in south Florida. The winds were calm the seas were flat calm. Temperature was 93 humidity was also in the nineties. I really wanted to ride more but it was just too freaken hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfoster Posted July 30, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2010 It wanted to put a small a/c in our bedroom/bath (hottest rooms in the house). The bride is totally against a window unit. Why, I have no idea..retarded. How ate up can one person be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First_N_Last Posted July 31, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 31, 2010 It wanted to put a small a/c in our bedroom/bath (hottest rooms in the house). The bride is totally against a window unit. Why, I have no idea..retarded. How ate up can one person be. Thankfully my wife is on my side for placing a window unit in the 2 main rooms we live in... Study/TV room & bedroom. We have a 5000 sq.ft. house with a 3 ton & 2 ton AC units. The window units allow us to set the rest of the house at 82 degrees. In the window AC rooms we keep the temp at 74 for cool comfort. It saves us a lot of money. Work on your honey with the money saving angle. Good Luck! JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted July 31, 2010 Share #20 Posted July 31, 2010 Same here...did it for 12 years. Lignite plant, two 500 MW units and a 750 MW unit. Really don't miss it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, never happen. Most power comes from coal, and no one seems to want to give up all of their electrical/electronic gadgets, so coal will be around for a loooooooong time, no matter how many wind or solar units they come up with. That is a pipe dream. If it ever did, I can always switch over to one of our nuke or hydro plants. We are the biggest power provider in the country. Here is my plant... http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i274/13thAFMonterey/NewJohnsonvilleFP.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
