November 10Nov 10 Well, I mean...we finally got our AC fixed after it getting taken out by lightning 2+ weeks ago. So...just in time for us not to need it for a few months. Nice $2500 pre-Xmas gift to myself.

Lighting fried the board in the unit, as well as the wire from the unit to the house (which needed replacing anyway). A bit over $1200 each item to fix. Had it topped $7k or so, I'd have turned in an insurance claim.

November 11Nov 11 Been there. A lightening strike took out my compressor in June. Yeah…was just doing the math with my wife. This is our fourth material weather calamity in the family, in our two homes a mile apart, in the past 4 years.2021: big freeze left us without power for 6 days. Major plumbing damage (around $6k in repairs).2023: ice storm took out our power. We were in literally the last 200 houses in town to get power back, again almost 6 days. Lucky in that we had no real damage, and we had a portable generator (bought it after 2021 storm), so no cost, just real inconvenience.2025 spring microburst: hit my dad’s house dead on. Busted a skylight that we still need to fix. Power was out 5 days, lost several hundred bucks of food in the freezers.2025 two weeks ago: lightning strike, $2500 in damage.Fucking hell. Four real weather hits in 4 years. That’s quite enough, thank you.
November 11Nov 11 I will wake up tomorrow in New Orleans and it will be 38°It was 85 today here. And about the same tomorrow

November 11Nov 11 Low of 39 in Amarillo this morning. That Denver temp is odd. Canadian heat wave barreling down the Rockies to the Great Plains wasn't on my November bingo card.
November 11Nov 11 Gonna be a rather short-lived cold front for us Texans. Back to the mid 80's starting tomorrow through next Wednesday.

Once upon a Time Louisiana would allow an insurer to cancel you if you made three claims in five years. Edited November 11Nov 11 by Gatorubet

Oh, the super fun part is that these have been expensive enough to suck, but not so pricey that they were worth making a claim (below our deductible amount, or right close to it). So...yay.
November 11Nov 11 Ouch. in my karmic evolution from dung beetle to lawyer, I must’ve been decent in my last life, because a month before the last major hurricane state farm allowed me to obtain a 2% deductible instead of the usual 6% deductible if I switched to their auto insurance in addition to homeowners. That saved me 45K. Granted, I had to sue the bastards in federal court, and it took two years to get my money. Edited November 11Nov 11 by Gatorubet

November 12Nov 12 Well my weather app shows 86 with 80 percent humidity on Sunday. The two days of cool weather were nice I guess.

November 12Nov 12 I'm about to bump the blast furnace thread. What in the absolute fuck is going on. How is 85 in dallas 2 weeks before Thanksgiving even remotely normal.
November 15Nov 15 Arctic blast for Thanksgiving? Bought tix for A&M a week or so ago. But don’t love the location and trying to decide if is should dump them for close to what I bought and snag some better ones if the market falls out because of weather
November 17Nov 17 Thankfully 4th summer isn't as bad as July / August summer, but near 90 with 80% humidity in mid-November is bullshit.

There was a Goosebumps book I read when I was a kid where the main characters were wearing shorts and playing outside on Christmas Day because they lived in SoCal. So whenever I think of Christmas weather like that, I just remember, we're living in a horror story.

Wellllllllll I dunno, I feel very safe that just because it's cold or ices, my power is staying on. Losing power (from planned outages) because of 90 mph wind gusts to prevent fires, since we have had very little moisture, is way different. A day or so without power >>>>>> the emotional, financial and physical stress and trauma of losing your home in a fire (poor Marshall)
Friday at 02:39 PM5 days We hitting 80 on Christmas Day or what?I am resigned to the fact that I will be mowing/pulling weeds next week. Fuck that noise.
