Hello world! Or at least the very few if any of you out there who read this :-) Hows the weather where your at? it s really nice here :-) A little Humid today but still prety nice. it is suppose to be in the tripple digits the rest of the week though. Any of you out there running swamp coolers? ( oh i'm sorry the proper name is evaporative coolers) thats what this appartment has and they seem to work fine up to about 90 degrees. After that it is hard to tell it is even running. Not too much that can be done about that but what I have found works well at least for a short period of time is putting a block of ice in the cooler. it cools the water going to the pads and cools the air flowing past and thus the air coming into the apartment, but, unless you have a big freezer you cant make too many blocks at a time and it is expensive to keep buying them so it is best used at the hottest time of the day to give an extra bit of relief... this public service message brought to you courtesy of me :-)
