My family are wimps. Mosquitoes started to come out and they wanted to go inside. It was only like 10, it was still bright out. Also, bug zappers and electric fly swatters are freaking fun. :D I bought the wrong lure for my bug zapper though, so it was not really getting the mosquitoes but all the other bugs instead.

Hot nef.

Seriously considering central A/C this year, I kinda want to build a shed though. I have to pick one project, because I don't have money for both. :p

At least I have a portable 1 ton unit though, so that helps.

Yeah seriously considering it, I'm thinking I'll need a 3.5 or 4 ton unit, but I'd have to do a manual j to know for sure. Guessing they'll do that if I get an estimate. Next time I'm off during the week I'll do it. The shed can wait. :p That's what I was planing on spending some money on this year but might do AC instead. Though while I'm doing the cement pad for the A/C unit I might pour the footers for the shed, and at least get that part done.

$4.99 a lb T-Bone Ni. Safeway opened in the area after merging with Albertsons and is having a Grand Opening, the wife is going to get a few more. People were waiting in line, she said they were selling them as fast as they could put them out.

Your family doesn't want zika.

Actually I need to design the hvac system for that room too. Eventually I want to seal it off from rest of house, more or less, and there will be a cold aisle supply and hot aisle intake, and depending on indoor/outdoor temp it will be circulated throughout the house or outside. The central AC will just kinda passively pickup the slack so won't bother with direct venting it, as it will not be used much, only like 2-3 months a year.

Right now that room is wide open to the rest of the basement and just passively cools, but the servers also take in a crap ton of dust, spiders, earwigs etc. D: The spider webs on front of servers kinda act as a filter though.
