This and that and the other

The heat has been terrible this week!!! There is no way to even describe it. It blew away all records since the 1800s when they started keeping track. Almost no one has air conditioning here including my parents. On Monday I was worried about Mom and Pops. Pops is still recovering from his accident and on the news it said people need to be in air conditioning at least a couple of hours to cool off their core temperatures. So we took them for a drive in the mountains. We tried earlier in the day to buy an air conditioner and were told everyone was out but there was an emergency shipment coming to Costco the next morning. We went early to Costco the next day but they already had given out tags to people who were waiting and were gone. Bumber!

Then on a whim we went to Lowes. We found an air conditioner which was made for a volt 220 line. We bought it because we knew there was a 220 line in the carport for pops portable welder. Everyone in the store who saw it on our cart wanted to know where we got it. Their phone was ringing off the hook with people who were asking for air conditioners or fans and everyone was out. We even got it for a discount because it was out of the box! The problem was that when we got home our plug was 30 amps and we needed 15 amps! And we needed one which was just dedicated to the AC and that one wasn't. We ended up running a new line that is solely for the AC and now it works so good!
It normally NEVER reaches 100. People are just dying in the 90s. Everyone is swimming in the river to get out of the heat. The park by the bridge was so full of cars that people were parking on the highway for 1/4 a mile. Sheri and Joel went there but said it was even hot there unless you were right in the water.
Mom says ahhhhhh this is more like it. The cooler works so well and the house is finally nice and cool.
Doesn't look too bad for all it does to make us comfortable does it? It is such a blessing!!! It is quite small but it puts out more cool than we need!!! AH life is good.
Dave is still doing his barbering.... mostly just for Uncle Jared and Pops. Jared was getting a bit shagy.

Now that is more like it!

With the hair cutting done Dave and Jared decided to go do a little fishing up at Lake Cavanaugh.
