Our place in the mountains doesn't have AC at all, but the place in Hawaii does.  I have not visited our place in France or Italy.

Hard to keep up with it all.

Hah, not exactly how I meant it.  I meant, our residence, versus one of our rental properties.
I think the shoe still fits :)

lol, I understand. We have some rental property our self. The last one we bought, I installed the HVAC myself with the help of a friend. Literally crawled around in the attic for hours. Learned a lot. Won’t be doing that again.

Well, to be honest I wouldn't call it lerning a lesson.  I was in my 30s at that time, and now I'm knocking on 50.

The rain appears to have moved out, still cloudy here, but maybe I can go into the park and throw some.  I can't recall this much rain in August aside from having a residual hurricane move through.  Speaking of hurricanes, the board still looks fairly calm, a bit of development.  

I'm grumpy so don't say this is weather thread material.

The pool is "suck it up" temperature today, after having been bath water T for weeks.

I made a few laps.  My watch says 78°F.  Some sun out today.

What is it about being a dad that gives you just a visceral disgust at seeing your teenaged children sleeping in on the weekends?

I mean, it's not like I want them milling around... But still...
