Second Hottest Summer on Record : (

As of tomorrow we will have had 57 days over 100 this year. 1980, the hottest summer, had 69. Someone, PLEASE ABSOLUTELY PROMISE ME we are NOT going to break that record in 2011. : (  Unless some popup storm skews DFW Aairport's official thermometer reading while most everyone else still roasts, and since it's supposed to continue over 100 for AT LEAST the next 7 days .... NOOOOOO!!  I suffered A/C emergency #3 Friday evening, after another high of 107. The A/C company owner told me today they've replaced over 500 capacitors just this summer. Guess that explains why there was at least one in the truck Now I've also got to replace leaking coils, but not until it get cooler - say next January?
