Good morning, well, we did it, temps got up over 100 yesterday, right on schedule. Normal average is around May 2, the earliest is in late March and the latest is late June. (The gave the dates on TV, but I forgot and am too lazy to look them up, besides, who really cares?) Yes, the A/C was on for most of yesterday, and even kicked on this morning. I think I've got to reprogram that digital temp controller I installed when we moved in.
Right now, I'm changing out some of our lights to LED. Wow, what a difference. To be sure, I'm putting on dimmer switches now because they are way too bright. For instance, a 60 watt incandescent has around 260 lumens while a 10 watt LED lamp gives off 800 lumens. I remember when LED bulbs came out, they were going for $40-50 apiece. Yesterday, we paid $2.32 for each one at Walmart.
