So perhaps my buddy and I picked the wrong time to move south, however moving here in the middle of July is for sure one way to get a taste of what Summer will be like for the rest of my life.
But moving here has always been the plan.
Still, I’m not going someplace however the central air conditioning of our current locale during the afternoon heat and humidity! Just walking to the car turns me into a hot mess. I guess I’m going to have to get one of those remote starter for the car. It would be so nice if I could start the car and get the air conditioning running a bit before I go somewhere. It literally takes me five minutes to cool the car down before I can leave the driveway. And guess me, that five minutes is a hot one even with the air conditioning on max. Yet, I know that my buddy and I made the right decision. While this level of Summer heat is going to be taxing to acweather conditions to, I’m all for it. The self-explanatory fact is that I just couldn’t take anymore winter time weather. Having grown up with all that cold, I was just done. Never again do I want to see or need a gas heater. While I’m awfully thankful that my buddy and I had such nice heating from our gas heater, I just can’t do that sort of cold any longer. Now that my buddy and I made it to the retirement finish line, I’m sticking with the heat pump for all of my heating and cooling needs. But from what I understand, there won’t be all that much need for heating in my future. My acquaintance says that he doesn’t even turn on the heat pump in the Winter. He has a space heating system that he deploys if it’s a bit freezing in the afternoon.
