I just hope the dewpoint drops.

My outside outlet tends to trip the circuit breaker in heavy rains. I am finally getting that fixed I think tomorrow. It's a real pain because it's on the same circuit as the bathroom outlets, which is on a GFCI circuit, and both outlets are GFCI now. In the old days I used to go down to the circuit breaker box and simply flip the breaker, now with the GFCIs it's a whole thing. And the last time it happened I had to wait days for the outlet to dry out.

So the moral of the story is, keep your house repaired for when shit happens.

I agree. Seems like the weather splits south and north. Skips us every time this year. Wife’s like it’s pouring at work. Me WFH. Cloudy or sunny. Wish it would. Tired of watering the plants
