Monday, January 30th - Cooler, PTL

 The overnight low was a humid 70. PTL for AC. Todays high was 84. At 9PM it is down to 50.

I walked to the fitness center around 8AM, a half mile from us, and back around 9AM. The temperature and humidity (dew point) was above the comfort level, but it wasn't bad. Mid afternoon both the temperature and humidity started dropping. By 4PM all the folks walking by were still wearing shorts but they were also wearing coats.

Kathy walked around a little but other than my trip to the Fitness Center we stayed home. I washed the car soon after I got back and both of us took naps (siestas😀) after lunch. The AC stayed on, running occasionally, until around 4PM. 

Below is a photo of the street I walk up and down to get to the Activity Center. 

There are single wide and double wide units, most with additions and carports. I picked up a For Sale circular, just curious, I'm way to cheap for a place this expensive. The mobile homes that have sold in the last year range in size from  size 400 sq ft park models to 16x72 mobile homes. Prices ranged from $20k for a 400 sq ft park model to $65k for a 15x67 unit built in 2018. The kicker is the lot rent. It starts at $800/mon, on a yearly basis, for a smaller lot. The rent includes water and sewer but electricity is not included. Taxes on one of the smaller units is around $400/yr.

A guy who was walking by saw our MT plates and asked where we were from. We explained that our home base was central MO. He was born and spent his teen years in Canada before moving to MT. He spent 40 years living in MT, and has dual citizenship. Because of his post retirement Canadian health benefits (similar to our Medicare) he has around 6 months a year in Canada. He spends 6 months in Ontario and 6 months down here. He said he leaves is AC on during the summer because of the high heat and humidity. He sets the thermostat at 85. He said his monthly summertime electricity bills run close to $150.

God is good. I  pray that He blesses you and yours.
