I went through last summer with an A/C that would lose all of it's refrigerant within a day or so of being charged. Was going to have it fixed before this summer, but then I ended up selling that car and
buying another one (which the A/C works VERY WELL in.)
I work overnight, but lately it's been plenty hot during the drive to
work and home again after work.
Autumn is fine until rains start. Then the pastures get flooded and
they are stuck in the barn for longer.

The problem I have around here is that whatever rains takes long to disappear, so if an area gets covered in water it takes ages for it to evaporate. For a pasture area, it means the place is unusable for quite
a while. You cannot take
the horses to wet pasture because they stomp the grass into
a mush and ruin it,
so even if it is no longer flooded, as long as the soil is too wet, it
is a no go.
Since my "new" truck doesn't have A/C, autumn means I can be outside driving at 1 PM and not be dying of heat exhaustion!

Yikes! Gotta get one of those retrofit A/C kits :P
I put one in my 68 Mustang and it makes driving on hot days
much more bearable. However, I need to tear out the
interior and put some insulation layers down, the heat
coming from the transmission and exhaust still turns the
car into an oven.

I agree, even if my AC works. It's that period of time between my truck and my destination in 100+ degree temps UGH!

I really, really dislike summer. The good thing for summer, for me, is that
I like summer, because grass gets tall and horses love it, and you get
to see foals running around playing their silly games.

It sounds like the sort of place where grass grows really tall so foals get to grow big and strong playing silly foal games.
I believe most of Kentucky is in the same climate classification but yes, horses do like it here I'd suppose.

I should go visit. A friend used to tell me it is the land of Corn, Bourbon, Horses and Firearms. What's it not to like?

Haven't been sick all year and now I caught either a chest cold or bronchitis. Just in time for Thanksgiving...
Kurt Weiske wrote to Sean Dennis <=-
Sorry to hear that - I just got over bronchitis, spent a good 4 weeks
with a nagging cough. This afternoon, started getting a scratchy
throat. Crap.
My mom is 86, we always try and quarantine around her if we have any symptoms near the holidays. She broke her hip and elbow and is in a
rehab facility now, we're looking into assisted living for her when she gets out. Luckily for her, everyone is masking at the facility. Fingers crossed that she stays healthy.
It's a chest cold turning into bronchitis. Nothing new for me but
definitely not something I like.
At that age, even a cold can be bad news. Hope she continues to do better. Assisted living might be a good option. It helped my late paternal grandmother live a good life until she passed at the age of 99.

Of course the doughnut has to be made with Whole Wheat Flour, doesn't
it?

I was at Walmart the other day and they already are setting
up Valentine's Day candy and goods. Everything is just so
damn commercialized these days.

I worked in retail in the late 1980s (Target). Seems like we took a
break between most holidays, although we did always seem to start the
mix of Thanksgiving and Christmas right after Halloween stuff was put away.
OTOH, Valentines is just over a month away so I am guessing we'd have
been putting stuff out for it soonish after Christmas return season was over.

Now they are setting up in June...

That I can understand but when the next holiday is seven weeks away...I have worked in retail a lot, including Target in the early 2000s an Walmart several times from 1998-2005, and while I understand the need to get stuff out quickly, it must be me about rushing things.
Hi everyone,

Yeah, too soon!
No, I think you are right. They do seem to rush things out sooner than
they used to. If they were allowed to sell fireworks, they'd probably have them out as soon as Easter was over. ;)

I used to work for a major supermarket chain in Ireland and they did
the same. The issue is real estate. The bigger the holiday the more
space required so things get into store earlier and earlier

That's something I didn't think about amd a very valid point.
I remember when you worked for said supermarket chain! That was a
long time ago.

Me thinks the ships on the West Coast get goods really early and then have to send them out to the stores before the next fleet of ships arrive.

That is something realistic. XD People would be blowing themselves up in a hurry!

I was hospitalized last night due to an open wound I did not know I
had (I didn't literally feel it!) that has become infected. I will
check in but if there are issues, please contact Andrew.

I am doing okay. I am feeling a bit blah from being injected with many various industrial-grade antibiotics. I am prone to get drug-resistant bacteria in my wounds, such as MRSA, so I have to take antibiotics that require me to me hospitalized.
I brought my mobility scooter and I can terrorize everyone...mwahahaha!
