   That was on the 12th and we had a lot of humidity off the gulf that day.   
   Yesterday it was 92F with low humidity and I worked in the garage without   
   breaking a sweat. Two ceiling fans and a 18" pusher to move the air along.   
   I also have a 54" fan that pushes a lot of air when the humidity gets up   
   there. Been thinking about building a 54" swamp cooler to help cool off   
   the garage.

   It's been a while, hasn't it...gas prices should be lower, since oil has   
   been $20 cheaper a barrel, but gasoline suppliers aren't going to budge   
   off of their profits without an incentive to lower prices. It is summer,   
   so I don't expect gas prices to get any lower until September, after   
   school starts.
