Lucky for you both! The next 10 days here are highs in the 90-95F range except for 2 days in the 95-100F range, lows roughly 65-70F, with humidity going up and down between about 25-65%. So it'll be roasting hot during the day. The dew point will range between 55-70F, so nights will be quite muggy.
And dang, but the air quality is forecast to be unhealthy for sensitive groups.

I'd prefer a little more sun as we will be heading into August. If August stays dry that will be good and maybe into September. Nothing more special than a nice dry September and maybe into October.
But if not then it will be a wet and soggy autumn in the Northlands.

Yeah. It's great since I'm not running the blower all night anymore. I just let it run last night for about 2 hours to get the hot air from the last few days out of the attic mainly, and the windows have been open all day.
Got a bunch of stuff out to the street today. Nobody's picked through it yet, but people are just getting off work now. Usually stuff disappears between 6 and 9PM. Hopefully it all goes. I have my doubts about a very sickly looking oscillating fan though. Got that thing about 20 years ago in a heavily smoked office, and it's pretty gross.
Had to finally get rid of a large pane of glass and a large mirror that didn't have frames. Dangerous stuff. The city didn't have any suggestions for me other than it needed to be put in black plastic bags after it had been smashed up for them to take it. Nicked my damn hand twice just getting the glass out to the garage.
Took me a minute to figure out a working idea though. Safety glasses and a ceramic tile cutter did the trick nicely. Once the pieces were small enough to fit in a bag it was just a matter of carefully putting the pieces in there and smashing them to bits.
Got through about 6 hard drives too, and pulled out the good bits. Still working on the other half dozen or so. They'll all be out by trash day. Kind of cool finding stuff that I had on drives that died 5, 10, 15 years ago. The two largest drives were unsalvagable though. Damn... 2TB of data that is lost in the ether forever.
I might have to take a trip out to my brother's to dump a bunch of stuff off. He might not be able to make it back out to my house for a few more weeks he's so busy right now and I really want all of that stuff out of my living room now that it's sorted and cleaned off.
Taking my garage back this week.

The fan's still there. I can't believe it, but somebody took my mom's old acoustic guitar case, beat up as it was. I had a better one to put her guitar in before I give it to my niece. That went before the bookshelf went. Nobody took the microwave either yet, which was a surprise. I might just have to go back out there and rip out the innards for those magnets and that transformer. I'll have to see how I feel and if it's still there when an if I feel like it.
So I'm going through those hard drives and I stumble across a 2TB drive that has passed all the health checks I've thrown at it. But funny thing is I'm not finding a single speck of data on them in the recovery programs either. Strangest thing. Where on earth did I get a 2TB new drive out of the box, how long have I had it, and why am I currently powering 4 old hard drives in my PC that don't even make up 2TB when I've got that to use?
Looks like I've got another project and some more drives to dispose of once all the tests are done and I know it's reliable.

It is good news Kiki. But he will still have some rehab to do once he gets home I think. He may need a cane too.

Ah... I figured out what that drive was. It was from a wireless NAS unit I had for movies that broke around 5 years ago. Looks like this is one of very few instances where it was a good thing that I held on to junk. The drive itself is in perfect working order, so I'm really not sure what ended up happening to it.
It had a really weird partitioning and formatting deal to it that I tried to rebuild at one point that required downloading firmware and installing through Linux. That would explain why none of the recovery programs are picking up any files from it. Even if they could pick up that it was a Linux partition back in the day they wouldn't be able to figure out how any of the data was structured through a Windows PC.
Doesn't matter though, since there was nothing on that drive but movies and TV shows that I don't care about.
Free hard drive space. Yay.

Going to post this in my other thread. Suspects have backtracked. They are now in Cold Lake Alberta which is in the North of the province about an hour's drive away from Edmonton. A msn who didn't know they were wanted took them there.
