I thought as you got Older, you were supposed to find Hot Weather more Attractive. Obviously, my Contrary Nature continues 'cause I can hardly breathe outside. Even when I do my AM Walks at 0500 it's almost 80F at 100% Humidity! Fuk the Lawn;>!!!!!!
The folks AC went out this weekend and we had to play the usual games to get them to get it fixed...which we found out yesterday we COULDN'T. It was original with the house when they moved in in 85. Needless to say, there ain't no parts for it! So today they'll get a whole new system which at their age and health they NEED. No matter how much my thin-blooded mother complains about the "Chill" of 84F in their house....
The plus has been the garden and it seems the Cold this Winter killed off a lot of the Pests that trouble Veggies. Everything's still here and the 1st Tomato is starting to show some colour!
I've decided to make another Dietary change for the household. Since the "leftovers" after paying Rent, Utilities, Food and Transportation used to go into the yard(Since we probably won't be here after the folks Pass there's no reason to add to what will get bulldozed to provide a "low-maintenance" yard)it's now going into Food. That means that QUALITY is as Important as Quantity....or Price. For example, I ordered a bottle of Soyu that's x4 the cost of the low-sodium Kikkoman's we usually use. I'll keep a small bottle of K for Cooking but as something added at the end or when Plated, the (Osawa?) will be used. Next month I'll be replacing my Fish Sauce;>....
Cheers,
Pat
