As they say, There is nothing new under the sun. And sun we have an abundance of. August is traditionally the hottest month of the year in this part of Texas and it is showing that truth this last week and predicitions are for even higher temps this week. El Nino or Nina is having a big effect on us. Consequently not much gets done here and we don't really go anywhere except to church or to maybe get a bite to eat. The youngest Granddaughter will come today for a couple nights. Her Mom starts school today so she has her hands full and we are a distraction to the little one missing her. She loves to be outside here. We have to distract her with other things so we can stay cool.
Wouldn't you know it, the AC quit yesterday around 4 PM. I got a message on my phone from my thermostat that there was a power disconnect. I have no idea what I am doing with power but I did look in the AC closet and there was a red light on the moisture dector. That thing will cut off the AC when the drain tube gets backed up so it doesn't fry something important. The AC company showed me how to reset it so it would work again after the tube gets cleared out. The tube was not stopped up so I reset and nothing happened. I left it unplugged and within a few nimutes it started running again. Yahoo! I called the AC company and left a message so I could get them out to check it out. This was all Sunday. I just got off the phone with them and I explained what is going on. Since it's working and cooling they don't coonsdier it an emergency and can get someone out Friday morning. This is a very busy time for them. The person that called say they have a lot of people calling, mostly elderly with AC's that have quit. That is their first priority thankfully. If it stops again they will then consider it an emergency. Hopefully it stays on during this hottest week yet. At least the humidity has eased and it is bearalble to be outside for short periods. Praying for some relief from the heat and the drought.
Happy Trails
