Felt like a marathon

went for a good run today, in the hottest part of the day, just leave it to google earth to ruin my euphoria by telling me it was only 2 miles - felt like lots more! (i may drive it in car for second opinion)

Update: I did it in the car, 3 miles!

Kitchen progress..

Summer sucks, but solar hanging tough

July/August this year was just H-O-T!  We had like 26 days straight where it hit 90 degrees.. and it felt it.  To compoud things, the dogs were home all day, we had workmen in the house - so had all their tools working and run both zones of the A/C to keep them from sweltering.  After all that, we still managed a 53.4% reduction in YOY (year over year) electric consumption, thanks to the solar system.  This is about what I expected, knowing the kind of weather we’d been enduring and how much A/C had been used.

For those keeping score at home:

Miles reading!

Our first grader is learning how to read.. so cool!
