Going slow

I haven't been very active in the last week, regarding Puppy/Wary/Woof development.

We have had a heat wave, every day about 38 degrees C. My house gets hot, my airconditioner hardly makes a dent in it, and I don't feel like sitting at the computer while dripping sweat.

The last three days, in the afternoon there has been a little storm, the first two were just little things that made the humidity worse, but yesterday it was much stronger and the power went out about 4pm, came back at 3pm the next day (today). So last night I ate a can of cold minestrone soup for the evening meal and sat in the dark.

Tomorrow I have other stuff to do, but I'll get back onto Puppy stuff sometime.

Apparently this run of hot weather is setting some kind of record for February. I saw on the TV News, the hottest Feb. in Perth for 30 years.

La Niña has been settings records all around the globe. We are all lucky that last week's solar flare didn't take us all out!

Water barrels?

"Is there any space and infra-structure to put some water filled barrels? Would have to set up a 'cup' of cold air in your working area. The barrels will absorb heat during the peak hours and release during first ours of the day.

"Hi Barry, You've earned a well-deserved break from all the work on Wary, Woof and Puppy. I'm continually amazed by how much you accomplish! According to Wikipedia,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March "In the Southern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 March," so cooler weather can't far off. I tend to slow down here in the Winter when the days are short in the Pacific NW and all I want to do is sleep. :n_n: Take care and thanks for all you do, TazOC

was wondering ...

"... whether you were all right before I finally saw your post. I read in the news of the 38 degree weather, and that was in Perth - I suppose it was even hotter in Perenjori. Thank God you are. Take care Barry.

"Well, it has been around 37-40 for the past week, but also high humidity locally (which is somewhat unusual), and that makes it more uncomfortable. Today is quite cool.

Airconditioning
Username: Michalis
"Air conditioners generally can't cool when outside temperatures are over 35 and warm when temperatures are under 5. Especially the older ones which don't have inverter and the new type of freon. If you have a water well around or any other deep underground easy to access formation you could use a pump to circulate water in order to cool locally with a heat exchanger the air condition's outside unit. That way it would have a lower temperature and so it would be able to cool the house even if the temperature is over 40. This is possible because under 5 to 10 meters deep in the ground the temperature is always stable summer and winter around 20 degrees. If you want to search it what I propose is more or less a [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_source_heat_pump]ground source heat pump.

"Before this, I always thought that air conditioners are only judged by their Horse Power (and I thought everybody outside US is using the metric system), and features (timer, plasma, swing etc). _____________________ [url=http://aircondirect.com.au/]Split System AC
