We’re ready for anything.
Hurricane coming? We jump in the motorhome and drive farther from the coast.
Y2K coming? We parked the rig on December 31st with full tanks of water, fuel, and propane. With food in the cabinet and a generator for electricity, we were good for weeks if we needed to be.
Company coming? We set the motorhome up as a guest cottage.
Air conditioner in the house goes on the fritz? We fire up the coach and live in the cool air there until the house is habitable again.
Problem. Our air conditioner in the house went on the fritz yesterday afternoon. It never came on all night long. Even with all the windows open, the bedroom never got below 84 degrees. The bus is nowhere in sight. It’s 50 miles away in Harlingen getting painted. We lost our backup plan.
It was in the 90s in our house by the time the air conditioning guy got here this afternoon. With cooling restored, we should be completely comfortable again by tomorrow morning. I remember growing up in California without air conditioning. Nobody had air conditioning then. That means during heat waves, when it was 100 degrees, it was 100 degrees in the house too. I don’t remember it being that hot.
We love this hot humid weather here, but it turns out we love it more when we can escape to the cool anytime we choose!
