It was hot today! When it gets above 94 or so, we end up turning on the air conditioner. I like it warm, but I don't like it sweaty!
We had trouble yesterday with the power kicking out. It would shut everything down, even if we weren't pulling juice for anything but the AC. It would be off for four or five minutes, then would kick back on again.
Forry finally figured out that maybe the power pedestal, which sits behind the motorhome in the direct sun, was getting too hot. He took one of our lawn chairs over to it, then used the cardboard box the icemaker came in as a shade for the pedestal. Viola! No more power interruptions!
Since it's started getting this warm, we've seen a definite change in the behavior of the occupants of Valle del Oro. Early in the morning -- even at 5 AM or so -- there are lots of people power walking, walking and bike riding up and down the streets. Then by mid-day the streets are deserted and no one is to be seen. Later, as I'm starting dinner, the streets get active again. From about six o'clock until it gets quite dark, the walkers and bikers are out again.
When we went bike riding last evening, it was actually very nice. It was cool with a bit of a breeze. Quite a contrast to what it had been like earlier in the day.
