Karen was talking about a hotel but for the same price as a weekend at a decent one I got 2 AC units.

Well I hope you'll get one soon before you're all roasted over there.

Insurance company called. Unit supposed to arrive July 3 then they going to set time to install.
Target has 5k BTU units on sale for $94. I picked up 2 for the kids rooms and borrowed another from my brother for the den.
It was 90 in the den before I fired up the unit, about the same as yesterday but the kids rooms were over 100 but have cooled down nicely already.

Good deal, glad you've got it cooling some.

[mountainbikermark]

Yes. Bedrooms are nice and comfortable because the window units are drying the air as well as cool it. Humidity is 63% right now outside and it's still 91. Dining room is 90 right now but shortly I'll be able to open some windows and let the "cooler" air start coming in.

Hey all, so I decided to get the new Galaxy SIII instead of the Nexus. I hope it will preform as well as my Inc has for the past 2 years. I am super excited about getting it, it looks like a great phone and the screen is absolutely huge too Just hope I can find a good case with a clip/stand or holster for it. Right now I am looking at the Otterbox Defender and the Ballistic SG Maxx.

I hope I can find a community that is as helpful and friendly as you all have been for me and my Inc.

Storm rolled through around 11 last night so fierce it was like the wrath of God. It covered from NC through northern Pa and parts of it had gusts above 80mph according to the Weather Channel this morning.
I have a tent set up in the back yard and it was staked heavily but it blew it over and uprooted one of my yellow squash plants. Tree debris all over the place but no damage and the tent didn't have but a few drops of water in it.
It was funny, when the wind started blowing and the thunder clapping like a fire works show I went up and asked if the girls were ok. Because the window units are so much louder than central air they didn't even know it was storming. Karen was asleep, Madelyn (who is usually very vocal in her fear of thunder) watching TV, Tia on her computer Facebooking and Victoria reading a book. The coolest part was it didn't rain until the wind had died down after midnight and the rain was a nice speaker for over an hour,a much needed dose here.
Dish didn't blip or go out at all, another pleasant surprise.
I know I'm showing my hickville mentality but pausing and rewinding supposedly live TV is just plain awesome, especially the skipping commercials part.

Good morning and glad you're ok. I love pause and ff on TV, would be lost without it. BUT I heard that some group is discussing a program to stop the ff-ing the commercials, because it apparently is not beneficial to the advertising companies, duh....
You're not hickville, you're just male It's a special gift

They have made hay with actually skipping them but are not getting anywhere with ff so far.
Here's the rub. On broadcast networks it's legal to skip commercials but not on cable or satellite stations. If the broadcast stations were smart they'd hire Apple lawyers and sue frivolously over the fairness of the rules.
If Congress would pass the cable act that makes it so we could buy our TV channels by station instead of package it would be better for everyone but the channels that suck and have all commercials. They'd have to change or go off the air from lack of revenue

Yeah I'm looking forward to mine too. I ordered a TPU case from CruzerLite. I used a silicone case on my Inc and that always seemed to be enough protection so I opted to do the same with the SIII. I'm going to try no screen protector this time, hopefully the gorilla glass is as scratch resistant as they say.

Just watch diamonds on the screen, got my Nexus corner with mine.... Not bad but it happened 2 weeks after I got it, use a Screen protector now...

EFIN, just found an interesting app for the Tab. It's called Redstick CAD. It allows you to quickly do onsite plan entry into the tablet with a VERY good interface for making the measurements accurate. You can then export the DXF to CAD programs to finish. For $9.99 it was worth the gamble. Going to try it on the job soon. I'm liking the feel of it so far.
