Re: Too Hot To Fly Hey Dave! We are not nearly as wet as you but the sump pump in the root cellar has been going pretty steady the last two weeks! Have had whole summers out here that we didn't even plug it in! |

Re: Too Hot To Fly Forecast is for a two day break in the rain & cold weather here. Sunday & Monday supposed to be clear with +23 temps - so have the birds plugged in!  Sorry! Couldn't resist the little dig on you easterners! Weather is topsy turvy here too - unusually wet & cool. Mud slide in the Roger's Pass has held up the wife over night. Hope she can get through in the morning! |

Re: Too Hot To Fly Saturday isn't much better than Friday, both ow which are much better than Thursday -- my "weather station" maximum was reading 41. Right now, its showing 32 (35 hunidex) with 48% humidity. Even the dog won't go out unless she's desperate. Back working on the basement -- pulled everything around to check the cinderblock wall at the front of the house. DARN! (replace with other words of a stronger imperative that my won't won't like to hear....) Efflorescence strikes -- not only the dust, but the dust bunnies. Then I found that two sheets of hardboard had beveloped black dust (read nasty mould) between them. So..... off to the supermarket for a gallon or two of vinegar then back down into the basement with brushes, towels, buckets and the wet vacuum cleaner. Tomorrow will be sealing the wall and maybe some time spend building the storage shelves need to put everything back. May be too hot to fly comfortably but I'm finally making some progress on rebuilding my workshop (started sometime during the winter and still unfinished.....) Stay cool, stay hydrated. |

Re: Too Hot To Fly Yesterday was one of the hottest day on record in the GTA. Took the day off. Wife and I went sailing and brought a float plane with me. When it got too hot, I went for a dip  Now that's how you spend a hot day

Re: Too Hot To Fly My weekend is now driven by the weather -- I'm going to have to get up bright and early Saturday (maybe Sunday too!), walk out into the back garden and pick the bush full of red currants. The hot weather may be brutal on us but its making the berries doing Warp 9 towards ripeness. I pick them, Angela makes the jam with my help, and then she eats most of the 20-plus bottles that the bush makes. Downside of being diabetic -- the red currant jelly is absolutely marvelous but more than a slice of bread with jelly at breakfast has me blowing 10-plus on the glucometer. Rest of the weekend will be spent moving all the hobby stuff around the basement so I can seal the back wall before I put up the drywall after a master electrician's reviewed my changes to the circuitry (split the back half of the basement off of the main downstairs circuit, subdivided that into two sections and connected to seperate circuits, plus added more wall plugs -- prevents being totally in the dark when I fire up the powertools at the same time my wife is running the sewing machine or serger and we pop the breakers.) Nice thing is that the basement is the coldest part of the house without any outlets from the furnace or having the basement door open..... |
