Good luck, I did that too and the mother fucker works great in the car but n cloudy days is way, way, way too dark.

I wear glasses and used to get the transition lenses but after a year or two (I keep my glasses for a few years) the lenses turned a little yellow. Don't know if they still do that but I stopped getting them because of the yellowing.

Can you make it down this way? It's 102 outside.

And even with the AC running non-stop since this morning the house has still gained 6-7 degrees.

We're sunny and going into the upper 80's F here today. The living room indoor temperature is 65 F, and the kitchen is 69 F.

The high is forecast to be 90 F down south at our SC tree farm, so not much different than it is here in upstate NY.....

It's a one story, but we have high ceilings in 2/3rds of the house. With AC you can't go too big, or else it doesn't pull enough moisture out of the house.

It's just the way it is here in the summer. Even right before the sun comes up it's still around 80F here. So it just runs.

That's why I pay for the guys to come do maintenance checks 3x a year. Two years ago the better half went to visit her parents and the AC died.

All the fans and windows open it still got to nearly 88 inside the house. Pretty miserable.

Just hoping the rain holds off long enough to let the roofers finish installing the membrane for our new roof today.

Absolute belter of a weekend here, hot and dry but not too hot, around 30. Smashing the pool all weekend then cruising around at night with the family in the 997 cab.

Winter can suck a bag of dicks.
