Had record breaking heat a while ago but it has cooled down a bit. Sometimes only getting up to the 90s and down into the 50s at night. Still haven't turned on the AC as it is quite comfortable with the windows and doors open. The pool stays in the high 70's and I go in every other day or so. Alesa is still waiting for 85 and it won't be long now. They replaced another roof behind us the other day and am hoping for roofing 'season' to be over as they start quite early in the morning and, as I said, our windows are open. Replacing a roof here entails removing all the tiles, setting them aside, repairing any structural issues, replacing the 'underlayment' and reinstalling the tiles to include replacing any broken tiles. I've included a couple of pictures of the process. Alesa is willing her body (after death, of course) to the University of Arizona for research. As a result she had to remove the 'organ donor' designation on her driver's license which required a dreaded visit to the DMV (AZDOT). She made an appointment, which usually makes the wait a bit shorter. We drove to the appointment and were surprised to see all the waiting lines empty. We were greeted at the sign-in devises by a women who said 'all the computers have been down for an hour and we don't know when they will be back up'. She said we could wait or make an appointment for another date. It was a bit of a drive, we weren't busy and all of the ADOT positions were manned (or personned?) and a couple were helping customers, so we decided to wait. We no sooner sat down when we were asked 'Can I help you?'. Seems the computers were up and Alesa was able to complete her task in record time for a visit to the DMV. I took a picture of the rarely empty lines. Have been working with the lawyers to replace our Florida trust with an Arizona trust. This time I did a very detailed list of our assets and their specifics for inclusion in the trust or not. We review the first draft on Monday. Been busy cutting seed pods out of our pygmy palms so they don't 'shed' into the pool. It is quite difficult to cut them low enough that they don't continue to grow. I wasn't being that successful so I decided to do some research for a better tool. Come to find out, the pods can be pulled out of the tree with a little effort. I have been able to pull most of them out very cleanly but a few are stubborn and I may still have to cut them. Now that we don't have palm seeds in our pool they have been replaced by grasshoppers and I am taking a few out of the pool and the skimmer every day. Don't know how long they will be around. In the meantime we have a roadrunner in the yard who is helping to reduce the grasshopper count and make sure they don't morph into a locust plague.
