Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

I suppose it’s too early to complain about how hot it is. It’s not incredibly hot but the relative humidity makes it seem that way. I put the window air conditioner up yesterday and at least I can be inside and be comfortable.

I’m getting into summertime mode and getting up at 5 and heading outside to work by 6. Then by noon I’m done and come inside.

I put the window A/C in yesterday. Live in the Twin Cities. Have been in this house over 20 years and never once considered installing the A/C in May - feels wrong and crazy.
 
We turned our central AC on -- not so much because it was hot, but that we've had huge amounts of rain followed by a spike in temps amking it feel like 100% humidity. Its been bad!

I'm planning a weekend at this point, I am amazed that on Thursday I got 2 camp sites next to each other for a friend and myself. Dunno - hopefully some one see the trand and realizes $55 a night is starting to get a littel rediculous for a no-frills campground. At least the showers at this one are decent.

Congratulations. Retirement is highly recommended.

I got a taste of it a few years ago. Retired in 2020 & was out for 1.5 years. Partly retired to have the chance to double dip. With a teacher shortage I knew that chance would come. These last 4 years I’ve been a small rural school, but it’s time. There are things we want to do when the school year is going like the Camp Out. Planning on going to the Daytona 500 that first year. I plan volunteer coaching Track some for a friend of mine to keep me busy and still involved. She is going to volunteer with the Humane Society. And camp during the week when it’s less crowded.
 
I retired in 2003 at the ripe old age of 54 and bought my first teardrop. For the first ten years I was spending 5-7 months a year in it. I was often gone for two months, then home for a week and then back out on the road.

Now I’m lucky to get out for a few weeks. But then again I live on a private 25 acre campground type of home where there is only 10 people per square mile. Anywhere I go there are more people and less animals.

In nearby Daytona Beach, that’s just another day in the neighborhood.

Back around ‘82 or ‘83, Anderson County where I live was deemed the Murder Capital of the US. Textile mills were closing left and right, unemployment was around 15% in the area. Upstate SC still has a pretty high crime rate.

This one involved an argument of money, drugs & an argument about the dead man’s daughter dating the other guy.
