Hating Humidity

Humidity, it's pretty much everpresent here in the South, though at least the heat that generally accompanies it, has not hit yet.  It's only in the low 90's this week, so not brutal or anything, but you know when the humidity is higher than the temp, it's gonna be unpleasant!

We tried to convince my Mom to come down for a visit in cooler spring weather, but it didn't work out for her.  So instead, she's here now, in 90/90+ weather, with periodic popup storms for fun.

Our garage gym, currently un-airconditioned, is more like a sauna in the evenings.  DH and I were drenched during and after last night's lifting.  You know it's hot and humid when the sweat runs down from your knees...The heat also sucks the energy and strength out of you.  Makes for a more tiring workout.  Maybe if I can get to the storage unit, I can unbury the window A/C and bring it home.

The chicken coop door is finally finished too.  We opted to screen in the upper half, to improve ventilation for the birds.  Since they have down coats, and we are in the South, it won't get that cold here in winter.  Well I just realized that we still have to build and mount hte big nesting box...oh well, at least they shouldn't need the nexting box until around October!  I still have time!  I did add a 6x8' tarp to thet top of the run portion, to add more shade.  They seem to like it.

The big water oak we took down is finally mostly all split and stacked.  There are only a couple of rounds left to split.  Next on tap to tackle is the neighbor's dead tree.  They said we could cut it down whenever, and have the wood too.  That's nice, because we have room for 8 more cords of wood to cut and stack!

And finally, our pool heater died, and we had to order a not-so-inexpensive replacement.  That install is pending for next week.  Though now, the water is up to 84-86*F most days.  Still, it will be nice to be able to heat the spa up to body temp, and relax in it, after a workout.

Hope everyone is enjoying their late spring/early summer!
