Reply to "Heat!!"

I drink a lot of water too. I keep a bottle of water on my nightstand and drink whenever I get up at night to avoid being dehydrated or semi-dehydrated in the morning. For those of us who get infusions, it's particularly important to be hydrated on infusion day, otherwise you are going to be a pin cushion.

However if I go outside I up the hydration game a notch with Gatorlyte Zero. I think Gatorlyte Zero is a particularly good electrolyte beverage suitable for sustaining reasonable outdoor activities in hot weather. Tomorrow I have to trim some overgrown azaleas in my landscaped area and I will certainly have a bottle of Gatorlyte on hand while doing that work.

I also keep my fingers crossed on the AC. I have a large outdoor unit that controls my Central AC in my condo. Around 4 years ago it went in the middle of a heat wave midsummer just like we are experiencing right now. It was like 85 degrees in my condo. It sucked because I sleep in a 70 degree condo at night, or I don't sleep at all.

Anyway I have an HVAC guy I know from his work for one of my past coworkers. He is something of an HVAC genius. A mad professor looking kind of guy. When my AC went out 4 years ago I had to wait on him for a few days because his wife had a medical emergency and he had to be with her at the hospital. Once his wife was stabilized and discharged, he finally came out after I suffered for a night or two. He went into my unit and quickly told me I had a blown capacitor. He then went out to his van, came back and said "you're in luck- I had a spare capacitor in my truck." He replaced the capacitor, charged me up with Freon and was done and the AC unit was fixed in approximately 15 minutes. He charged me $100, which I gladly paid, as I was just stupefied by his wizardry working on my AC unit. Watching him in action was like going to a Billy Joel or Elton John concert and listening to those guys play a piano.
