It’s Scary When Your Cat Can Tell Time . . .
With today’s temps pushing 100°, I’ve really been happy with the performance of the new Coleman Mach 15 AC unit that we installed last August
The old Coleman Mach V was still working, but seemed to have lost its oomph. I probably could tried topping off the Freon, but I really wanted a bigger unit that handled the Texas temps a little better.
And going from a 13,500 BTU unit to a 15,000 BTU one, plus a stronger fan, really makes a difference. Today, with the thermostat set at 75°, and the outside temp at 99, the unit was still able to cycle on and off all afternoon. So it’s doing its job. Nice.
Unlike a lot of other RV parks, if we hadn’t looked at the calendar, we would have never known it was the 4th of July weekend. No golf cart parades, no fireworks, no nothing. Of course the whole no fireworks thing was probably due to the ‘Absolutely No Fireworks! signs posted around.
We did drive down to the river area Sunday on the way back from Schobel’s and there were more people down there, but I’ve certainly seen the park busier on non-holiday weekends in the past.
After I mentioned about getting a 30 day gate code here, and wondering if they had annual and employee codes, Barbara Spade, friend and Ranger here, confirmed that they do have both annual and employee codes, as well as remotes.
Miss Karma can apparently tell time, or maybe her stomach can. Every day at 4:30, plus or minus about 5 minutes, she comes out from where ever she’s been sleeping, (usually on the dashboard) parks herself in front of Jan and starts meowing.
It’s dinner time, and she knows it. Scary!
The WE Channel has been running a Law & Order marathon tonight, starting with the very first episode in1990. Either I didn’t see these at the time, or I’ve completely forgotten them in the intervening 26 years, I imagine it’s the latter, but it’s like watching a brand new show. The first things I noticed is that everyone is smoking, and that Chris Noth looks about 18.
But one thing that kept bugging me was the opening musical theme. It just didn’t sound right. But after a couple of episodes, I finally figured it out.
it’s in the wrong key. And it’s in the wrong key because they’ve sped it up. And they’ve sped it up.
And they’ve sped it up to make it shorter so they can cram more commercials into the hour.
