It's too hot

[revchris]

We survived the Ren Faire. It (supposedly) hit 108F on Saturday, but Sunday it was overcast, and we only hit 95F. Nights were cooler (lower 70s), but 70+% humidity. We got a motel room for all three nights. We packed up this morning (only mid-80s, and humid), and headed for home around 10am. We got home around 2:30, parked the camper, decided to unload later when it would be cooler, and went into the house.

It was 91F in the house. I checked the breaker panel, and reset the breaker for the A/C. It ran for a few minutes, and tripped again. I called and Dave came over to look at it and blew the condenser clean of crap. It's been running continuously since then, and the house is now down to 85F. It's significantly drier in the house, but it's still hot. Maggs just took a shower to try to chill out a bit, and I've got all the unnecessary rooms closed off (doors and vents) to try to cool the rest of the house off some for her (she's had a few bouts of low-level heat stroke throughout the fair, so cooler is better).

I may unload some of the truck later tonight when it's cooler.

Were you in Chippewa Falls at the Wisconsin Renaissance Faire on Saturday (where I was), or were you at Opening Day at Bristol (I think it was opening day)?

If you were at Chip Falls, we were in the white tent right inside the gate.
