    Big Change in the Weather!!

    I went outside about 8:30 a.m. and it was actually COLD.  I had to run back in and put on socks and real shoes and grab a sweatshirt.  I haven't worn socks or a sweatshirt since April! Hope it lasts!

    It was about 65 F. I drove with just the vent on. If I had a motor bike, this would have been a morning to ride, except for that working thing and needing to haul a couple of hundred pounds of tools and materials.

    It started getting cold here a while ago...
    In the morning it is FREEZING. I walk to the bus stop (which is not close to my house) at 6:15 in the morning, even wearing sweatshirt & jeans I'm still really cold.
    And to think just a while ago everyone was complaining about the heat, lol.

    When I walked out of work today, I thought "man, what a difference a day makes".  Yesterday it was 106 in my car and today it 76 on the drive home.  It's gorgeous outside right now [:)]

    We went from 100+ to 80 something the next day and haven't got out of the 80s for a couple of weeks. Ugh... no in-between... and we weren't done using the pool yet!! [:@]

    We just bought our new house last week and haven't even used the pool yet.  Only cleaned it....I MUST jump in tomorrow!  The water felt really cold today too from all the rain we had last weekend. 
     
    Ron, just tonight I was telling my husband, this would be a great night to roll down the windows, open the sunroof and turn the radio up as loud as we could stand it!  It has been so pleasant here this week!

    I am quite pleased with the temperature dip.  Instead of the raging 90s and a heat index of 100+, we've settled for low 80s and little humidity.  It's possible to take an evening or morning walk without feeling gross.

    I LOVE it. It's wonderful. I went out last night with a big blanket wraped around me. I can't wait for apple picking.

    And soon we'll all be complaining about how blasted cold it is and how much snow we're getting!
     
    But, I agree.  Fall is a wonderful time of the year!  In August we had some REALLY cold and wet days and I remembering wondering if I'd overslept and woke up in October!  But, now, well now it's lovely.  We're getting sunshiney days, but temps that are far more tolerable.
     
    And I of course am doing my typical "storing nuts for the winter" thing with canning and freezing and soon it'll be off to pick apples and pears.  I love spring for the rebirth of everything, and I love fall for the cool, crisp days and the harvest and the falling leaves.

    I'll be on the lookout.
     
    I have to turn my company truck in for repairs. We think it's the rear main engine seal. So, I'll be driving my own truck more, for a while. I replaced the ac compressor in mine and it worked for a couple of weeks. Now, it won't hold a charge, again. I think the new compressor forced a leak somewhere else. So, I welcome the cooler temps as I have to drive without ac.

    Just for you Glenda, like last winter, when you're snowed in, I'll let you know when we have a 70 F day down here.
     
    I'm helpful that way.

    Thanks Ron, that really is thoughtful of you!
     
    Do you recall the state trooper who tried to intimidate me so badly last year when my hip gave out?  He just got arrested last week for domestic violence!  I'm glad that I filed a formal complaint against him....what a power hungry jerk!

    Why am I not surprised?

    I wasn't surprised in the least, but by golly I sure felt VINDICATED when I heard that news.  That experience ranks up there with the worst experiences of my life.  I was truely afraid of the man and dang it, all I was doing was sitting in a snow bank in my OWN yard, unable to get up because my hip had gone out.  And when he DEMANDED that I get up and I reached for the shovel for support, he drew his weapon on me!  That's was horrifying!   A ticked off cop with a drawn weapon against a smallish woman in a snowbank.  And the SOB watched me CRAWL to my van so I could pull myself up.  Sadistic F'er!!
