In our case, it's "Maybe we should finally get around to getting A/C." Usually followed by a week of temps in the 60s and 70s, so we forget.

I also had a partial replacement at the office building last month.
Paying for that stuff is no fun.

True, though that doesn't prevent strings of up to 4 days at 95-105 on occasion. But it cools down to the 60s overnight.

There should be a national holiday celebrating the invention of practical AC for the home and office.

What a stupid question. Of course not.
We replaced one HVAC unit at home in the summer of 2020.
We replaced another home HVAC unit last summer.
I replaced the evaporator coil in one of the office systems last month.
We are hoping that we do not have to replace the third and largest system at home this summer or the other office system.
I've spent over $30k replacing air conditioning systems in the last 24 months.
But, I'm not spending a single friggin day without AC in the summer.

Just saw the forecast - after Sunday they are predicting at least 14 days of 100+ temps.

Good luck with that. I'm trying to hook up with a buddy for a MTB ride in the Santa Monicas to get out of the SGV oven.

Where in the SMs were you going? When it's really hot I have driven to the beach near Sycamore canyon. From there you can do all the climbing and descending you want and can turn back to the beach when you get hot. There is also water in places on those fire roads.
I have found if it's 100 in the valleys it will be 100 in the Santa Monicas for the most part.

Sounds like a tough ride to me. We will probably do a Sullivan Ridge/Canyon loop with something additional off Dirt Mully.

My buddy lives not far from the bottom of Sullivan, so we will roll out from his house.

OK, exactly what did you do in 2020 and 2021 that was similar to genejockey, who has never had air conditioning?
