Ther...Wow sister I had no idea it was so hot in CA. There are actually a few weeks in Alaska that I wish we had A/C too, surprisingly enough. <br /><br />I shoulda known better than to post the chainsaw pic. MOM even got on me about that. Turns out, chainsawing is the only thing she refused to do back when she was building cabinets, rock walls, and hauling cast iron claw foot bathtubs. I am very aware of the potential kick back and am very careful because the idea of it makes me very nervous. Actually Chuck does most of the chainsawing and I do the hauling. Did you do a little chainsaw internet research before you posted that info? <br /><br />Thanks Tonia. Glad you are commenting here! I get that about using the fireplace and a/c at the same time. I like to blow the car heat full blast and roll down the windows at the same time. Charley, however, doesn't like it so much. Turns out, the wind is stronger in the backseat.Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299897911707020053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905618827730690557.post-1008744376993860602010-09-26T16:19:05.275-05:002010-09-26T16:19:05.275-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013000755084143824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905618827730690557.post-13366724193816487372010-09-26T16:18:51.658-05:002010-09-26T16:18:51.658-05:00Hey, girl, I love my fireplace and use it every Ch...Hey, girl, I love my fireplace and use it every Christmas...even if we have to turn the air on! hahahahaaa<br />I love reading your blogs and looking at the pics of the beautiful scenery in Alaska....Stay warm and safe!!!Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013000755084143824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905618827730690557.post-60271703008565531422010-09-26T15:16:07.141-05:002010-09-26T15:16:07.141-05:00IT IS 101 WHERE I LIVE RIGHT NOW. SO I CAN'T R...IT IS 101 WHERE I LIVE RIGHT NOW. SO I CAN'T REALLY THINK ABOUT COZYING UP TO A NICE WARM BLAZE. BUT to answer your question, Ethan and I have had central air and heat in every place we've lived together here in LA and now, in our new place, we don't have the "air" part of it. We have such great weather normally, that a lot of places in here "don't need it". Well, sorry, but there are a few days out of the year where we definitely NEED IT. Our house turned into a box of sweaty pain yesterday. We moved about the house like molasses to get ready to get out to the beach side of town (took all day) which is usually a good 20 degrees cooler, but didn't make it out there until around 6 PM. (We just made it more of an evening trip heheh.) We brought Jessie and her lil dog food dinner to a restaurant that let us have dogs out on the patio. It was a big relief from the heat. Now, I'm sitting here in the heat box again, and Ethan (God bless 'im) is out in San Puente (or something like that) in even HOTTER heat coaching Cogeian's DOUBLE HEADER on about 4 hours of sleep. I know what your saying when you say it must stink to be a man sometimes.. We got ourselves some good ones, don't we?<br /><br />HEY, listen, I see you there with that chainsaw. Have you ever had "kickback" with one of those? It has happened to me with a skill saw before, and I know it can happen with a chain saw, too, when you start sawing into something unexpectedly hard--like if the wood is petrified or something, etc. Also, it can happen if you don't extract the chain saw back out of what your cutting before you let off the gas... I mean if you let off the gas while your still in the tree, the spikes snag and violently kick it back toward you... which is more terrifying than a skill saw to me, cuz a chain saw doesn't have a guard on it. I think the way that I said it is right, but please check with somebody else, cuz I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. I just know for sure it can happen, and that's enough for me to not want to ever touch a chain saw. <br />BTW, that pic of you reminds me of pics of Nanny doing things like that. Like, here's me with a chain saw. Here's me in the snow in my bathing suit. Here's me with a tiny, tiny fish I just caught. That's good stuff.codastarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224153707187500367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905618827730690557.post-66468864210846426972010-09-25T00:59:58.005-05:002010-09-25T00:59:58.005-05:00A windy 93 is actually sounding really nice right ...A windy 93 is actually sounding really nice right now.

I am glad to see you guys are getting wood:-) <br /><br />Although it was 93 or so in GA today, it is not that bad, maybe since the humidity is not as bad, maybe because we are happy to see 93 instead of 103, who knows...It is actually warm, but windy & kind of nice. I will still be very glad when it gets a little cooler. It will be around 70 tonight also - great night for a football game.Phyllisnoreply@blogger.com
