Well…crap…the AQI is still over 400 this morning and that says it’s “hazardous” to be out in it but I’m going to put one of my masks on and go out and give it a try anyway…spent the day yesterday hunkered down in here with everything closed up and the hepa filters running so I could breathe but they’ve been running for 24 hours now and I wonder how long they will run before just giving up? It’s bullshit that I can’t open this place up to take advantage of the 70 degree temps out there to cool down but the smoke smell out here is just like I’m living in a forest fire and you can see less than a half mile it’s so thick…I did gt my new coffee table assembled and I like it…just the right size for my small house and has more surface space than the top I was using…and you can open the storage area with my coffee cup still on it without spilling it so that is cool…don’t have to cook today with making masala yesterday and that will help keep the temp down in here…the high got up to 88 here yesterday but it stayed about 82 in here so I guess I can live with that…the fans have been getting a workout and I even put the small one on me when I was cooking yesterday and that worked out nicely to keep me from broiling…not much to do today…just going to attempt the rides but my eyes are going to be bad with all the crap in the air…more later…
