It's just NOT supposed to get that hot at 7000 feet is it? I live close to 7k feet and my swamp cooler is working overtime and has been since June and we got it hooked up in May this year. Don't usually have to turn it on til' July and then I usually don't use it any longer than til' the end of August.
We even had humidity the other day. WTF??? No rain, but we sure did have humidity. It was 9:30 am, we had cloud cover, and we were sweatin' it up. I felt like I was back in Missouri again for a minute.
I am NOT a summer person at all. I'll whine about global warming all I want. LOL Gimme a snow storm and 40 below anyday over heat.
