office ladies have enterted the chat | Interestingly I just saw a video of an installer carry up a compressor up a ladder and he dropped it about 10ft and it smashed into the ground.
I'm not sure what the correct way to do that is, but I don't think he was supposed to just carry it up himself?

I forgot to set the timer on the AC and it was on all night. Woke up at 5:00 am because I was freezing. I can see the headlines. Senior found dead in bed, frozen.

I thought it was cloudy this morning, since saw no sunlight through bedroom blinds (was like wtf cuz weather said sunny all weekend). Then checked outside and it's hazy from the forest fires. Was planning to go hiking tomorrow, guess might need to replan.

I slept fine, but woke up to smoky smell in the bedroom. Closed all the windows, turned on the AC and cranked up the air purifiers. Thanks to whomever posted that Costco had the Winix C535 in stock, thank you! My little Levoit is good for the bedroom, but the Winix is perfect for the living room/kitchen.

I bought a PM2.5/10 meter to measure the difference of AQ between indoors and outdoors, and to see how effective the air purification strategy is working. We're using a MERV13 filter taped to a box fan, and it's great to see PM2.5 quantified and on the decrease. A measurement on the balcony an hour ago showed 199 ug/m³. Inside is currently 18 ug/m³ and falling.

I have it like two feet away from me at the side of bed. I have to make sure it is aimed nowhere near my head. My neck and shoulders cramp up and I get massive headache.
I have the Dyson Hot+Cold on the night table directed right at me, as well.

I was at the laundromat this morning. Nice AC and no smoke smell inside. When I got outside mid afternoon, that wall of sticky heat just about killed me. When I drove off, I started coughing from the shitty air. I rolled up the windows and started up the AC. Damn, the carbon activated cabin air filter I replaced last month really works. Coughing stopped and I felt much better. Being an electric drive, my range would take a hit, but it really didn't kill it as much as I thought it would. I charge at the laundromat for free, so it was a bonus. As soon as it got really cold, I would shut it off until it got warm again.
I would imagine those lucky bastards with a Tesla would not smell a thing.

I just got back home. Nobody else is at home as my youngest son, who is the only one still at home, is at work. Anyway, with this heat, I walk around the house with just boxer briefs on.
I start to take off all my clothes as I sing to this...........
I take my socks off, but drop one on the floor. I bend over to pick it up. As i'm bent over, I feel someone grabbing my butt. I kind of freak out............ WTF? Maybe it's one of those one night stand chicks from my sordid past coming after me for child support, gulolol.
I turn around quickly......... nobody there. Hmmmmmm........... then it dawned on me. It's so fricken hot today that my usually butter smooth boxer briefs were stuck to my butt. as I bent over, they came loose and well................ it sure fell like someone was gently stoking my ass.............
How's that for a fucking weird story?
Pics or it didn't happen? Sure...........
