Its Going To Be Another HOT One, But Dry


The rains have stopped, the humidity is up, the ground is still wet (not as wet) and the temps reach the low 90's. All that means it gets into the mid 100's heat index with the humidity in the 60+ range. Got to finish the golf by noon, any rv work with the a/c off by 10-10:30. Our poor a/c has a hard time keeping up with the heat in the afternoon to evening. So far the inside temp has been low 80 and the a/c running. Today will be no exception, suppose to be low 90's today.

Our furry visitor has come back again. So far its been two mornings. There are two cats here roaming around but he seems not afraid of them. Our kitty likes to look out th door and see what is happening. Soon he will be thing"moving again!". And "another new place". He is use to it though. We have moved him around from here to ND and UT and back and in between. He has such a poor life.

We wash a load or two to keep up with our laundry. The combo has a very small tub compared to average home units. When it runs, we must turn off the a/c. The combo pulls -13 amps and the hot water electric heater pulls about the same. Since we are a 30 amp rv, thats about our limit. Even Tom Cat gets hot. He normally sleeps under the passenger seat, the only thing in the rv he can get under. When he comes out and spreads out on the floor, he's hot.

We will be going to Austin Monday for an interview with the state. If this materializes, then we will be home in Waco, TX working for the parks and rec dept. I say we, DW will actually be doing the work. I will be fixing breakfast and dinner and be the house butler and janitor. Thats in between golf, hopefully 2 times week if not three. My things are about to change.

My contact lens tryout has stopped since I ruined a left lens with no spare. New pair ordered and is to be here Thursday. Unless there is another option, this is the ones to buy. Th wear time appears to be 2 weeks and the cost is around the $300 dollar range for 4 pair. I want to get clarity on this as this is quite expensive.

Before I forget, here is the numbers for June,

Mileage-
RV: 84
SUV: 690
Cavalier: 633

Spent: $1749.00 (no repairs incl). This is normal items not including extra cost such as repairs. Maintance is included as its a usual budget item.

Our space rent is $225.00 plus electric, $107 for the month. The rent will increase to $250.00 for July on and the electric will probably see $150. Add this together and its still cheaper than Cowtown RV which is also plus electric. Their rates are posted on their web page. We have our Direct TV and Hughes Net internet dish up.
