Out Arizona Way

[ezdays]

One thing I have to do today is to crank down the temp setting on the hot water heater. When it's this hot out, the cold water brings the temp up to the point where it's too hot to be able to take a shower in. I had the shower lever just barely on this morning and it was really hot. Normally, in the winter months, I have to set the lever at almost full in order to keep from freezing. I don't think they make shower controls with separate hot and cold knobs anymore. A pity, I'd only use the cold one in the summer if I had one.

Wayne, 2250° is just about how hot the outside of our vehicles get. I'm surprised that they don't melt just sitting in a parking lot.

Yeah, I agree, I don't like the cold either, that's why we live where we are.... I can poke fun at the heat, but this past winter, I don't think we ever had to worry about our outdoor plants freezing. Some winters we do though...

Ed, my wife is the opposite, so I keep the A/C just a degree or two above what I think is comfortable. Even then, our monthly electric bill in the summer is between $300-400 clear into October.
