June 18, 20188 yr We skipped spring. Went from sweatshirts to sweating I hope that next year our one day of spring falls on a weekend.
June 18, 20188 yr Yep. The drive home sucks with no AC in the car. Have I mentioned I hate Summer? :lol2: I was just getting ready to complain that my car's air conditioner chose to go out on the hottest day of the year. But a friend of mine recharged the system and I'm now good to go...and I feel guilty because you always have to deal with this!
June 18, 20188 yr I work outside for a living so I'm used to the heat and know how to hydrate properly. But I can't really remember anytime in recent years where it was this hot in mid June. I checked my phone weather app at 2:30 and it was 94 with a heat index of 105. We went ahead and decided to call it a day and will go in an hour early tomorrow.
June 19, 20188 yr I was just getting ready to complain that my car's air conditioner chose to go out on the hottest day of the year. But a friend of mine recharged the system and I'm now good to go...and I feel guilty because you always have to deal with this! Thanks! Glad you got yours fixed! My car is just too old to fix it, wouldn't be cost effective.
