How's your day going so far?

Work has been slow lately, so I've been tearing down heat pumps. When someone gets a new one, we remove the old one. The other guys just dump them at the shop, and I've been working on that all day. It's very hot outside, and my glasses are constantly getting sweat on them. It's been pretty miserable.

The local recycling company dropped off a big dumpster for scrap metal, and I've already loaded it down. The only thing that doesn't go in the dumpster is the copper. I put it inside, and eventually my boss will send me to the recycling center with it. I don't know the current price for copper right now, but we have a mountain of it. I guess he's waiting on the value to rise again.

Anyhow, I'm more than ready for colder weather.

Woke up, got greeted by the dog, having coffee. That's pretty much it, so far.

@ChipmunkErnie That's a great start. I hope the day goes well for you.

@TommyNoir Not bad -- got some work done in the yard despite the heat and humidity -- but not too much. Too much and I end up in the hospital with my heart. ;)

@ChipmunkErnie I can tell that it's starting to cool down. It's still hot, but I can see the light approaching.

@TommyNoir Only supposed to be near 80º today -- but had heavy thunderstorms this morning and everything is soaked.
