How hot is it? Usually on a hot day I enjoy a cold beer. Yesterday afternoon it was so warm that after I had that cold beer I found myself craving really cold ice water; and I drank gallons of it.

At 6:30 this morning the temperature is already 27C, that’s 37 when you factor in the humidity and they tell us we are headed for a high of 38C, or feels like 48 (approaching 120F). I have no documented proof but I’m thinking I’m about to experience the warmest day ever in my life.

At these temperatures you don’t need a thermometer to know it’s hot. Kind of like at 40 below, you know it’s cold, no one has to tell you.

50 Point is not known these days for good electricity. Our generator cut in late yesterday afternoon (the park does not provide enough power for all the air conditioners so our generator automatically takes over) and is still running at 7 this morning. It will probably run all day. While we are perfectly climate controlled in our coach, a lot of our neighbors are not so fortunate.

They say everything happens for a reason. Am I being prepared for living with extreme heat because I’m not going to heaven after all?

For the past three years this storage facility was jammed full of our stuff.  When we moved out of the house in 2008 all the things that we weren’t taking in the motorhome but were still important to us went here. It was full. We had to be careful how we opened and closed the door otherwise stuff fell out.

This spring we decided that even though it was important “stuff” three years ago it was now mostly just “stuff”. And we were paying $113 per month just so we didn’t have to deal with it. Our goal was to be out by July 31. Marilyn took charge and things started to happen. After numerous trips to Value Village, the Grimsby Benevolent Society and the garbage yesterday was the final. A bike (our tandem), a bike rack and some art supplies, the truck was full but the bin was empty,

The truck has now been emptied, the bike has air in the tires and is ready to go. If we don’t ride it, it will be gone too.

All that’s left is to decide what to do with the $113 a month.

No thanks, I appreciate your offer, but I think we can handle that task on our own.
