Air Conditioning

For the first time this season, I shut off the heater, and turned on the air conditioner. I had been holding off, and the inside temperature never rose above 80° until today.  I have also been able to cool off the house at night by opening the windows, and letting  the cool night air in. And, I use ceiling fans.

Tonight, at 9:30 PM, it is 80° outside, so that will not help cool off the house.  If we have storms overnight, that will help.  But earlier, before nightfall, the storms were to the north and east, and moving to the north and east.  Even now, there is a line of storms east of Lubbock, moving to the north and east, missing Lubbock.

I always like to turn on the heater and air conditioner under circumstances that include I will be home while those functions run for the first time, just to be sure there are no major problems.  With the heater, there is always the hot dust smell from the vents.  Not so with the air conditioner.
