Had a hot but otherwise pleasant holiday weekend, starting with an early exit from work on Friday. We were dead slow, and managers started asking for volunteers to go home early. You don't have to ask me twice.
It was hot enough when I got home that I thought turning on the AC was a good idea. Unfortunately, it didn't turn on. Checked the breaker outside, checked the breaker at the panel, checked the thermostat. Nothing. We finally got a hold of someone from Harker on Saturday, and he was able to come out that afternoon. It turned out there was a bad connection in the thermostat. Live and learn.
The hot weather continued Sunday, so we spent much of the day indoors. We ventured out in the morning to go to church, and later in the afternoon we ventured out again for a cookout.
Monday wasn't much better, making for an uncomfortable Stoughton City Band performance as part of the local Memorial Day celebration. It was nice to return to an air-conditioned house, though, and we were able to spend most of the rest of the day gaming with Jenni, Jeff, and Eric. It was a fine end to the weekend.
Things are a little more pleasant today, with the temperature currently at 78° and rain threatening. We could use a bit of rain since I was actually able to plant some flowers on Saturday. They'll need regular water until they get established. Things continue to take shape in the yard as I formulate some sort of plan.
