Embarrassed_Gate8001@reddit
These are the days I really enjoy my job as a mail man ❤️ have a great weekend!
medullaoblongtatas@reddit
Thank you for everything you do! One of you will be delivering my degree today and I am so excited.
fueledbytisane@reddit
Congratulations! That's a big accomplishment and you should be proud! Hell, I'm proud of you and I don't even know you.
medullaoblongtatas@reddit
It’s truly one I didn’t think I’d ever achieve! But I did it. Next up — Master’s! Thank you, internet stranger! It takes a village, Reddit included ✨
fueledbytisane@reddit
That's fantastic!!! I'm rooting for you as you pursue your master's!
Far0nWoods@reddit
Have a third congratulations, well deserved!
medullaoblongtatas@reddit
Y’all are over here making me tear up on a random Monday night. Thank you so much! ❤️
Vig_2@reddit
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾
medullaoblongtatas@reddit
Thank you 🥹
SiriusSlytherinSnake@reddit
I'm so excited and proud of you random stranger! I also resent you because I just got yelled at because your name made me laugh and accidentally drop a spoon... In the kitchen... That I wasn't supposed to be in in the middle of the night... Waking up my grandma... So well it may be partially my fault 🤔
medullaoblongtatas@reddit
Hahahahaha I’m glad it made you laugh! Tell Grandma I said I’m sorry.
Thank you, kind stranger! Your words mean a lot. I went through hell and back to get this degree. Now on to the next one!
Stinkfinger_@reddit
Congratulations! That’s so dope
medullaoblongtatas@reddit
Thank you so much! Now to pass my board exam!

I believe the PC title is postal carrier.
DrRickStudwell@reddit
Is that out on Steam?
blacksystembbq@reddit
Most importantly, this month’s electric bill will be better than last month’s brutal bill.
historylurker@reddit
God yes. Mine was $333 for a 1650sq ft home
MonSoleil937@reddit
Have you done an energy audit? Fuckers will try to upsell you on a $1000 attic door sealer but the audit itself is free and can show you where all the energy leaks in your house are.
Best case you can DIY with weatherstripping and blown insulation in an attic.
LadySAD64@reddit
How or where do you get an energy audit just in case I get sidetracked and forget to research the answer TYVM
MonSoleil937@reddit
The general concept: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/home-energy-assessments.
A professional uses a thermal camera and I guess other equipment to see where the air and energy leaks in your place are. Doorways, windows, badly DIY’d recessed lighting from previous owners, and the like. They are supposed to go through the whole house, attic and all.
I went through Angi to find HVAC and insulation people as those were the companies that had it. Ended up using “Efficient Home Solutions” https://ehshvac.com/services/free-building-and-home-energy-audits/.
They use this to sell work, so don’t buy the hype because nobody needs a $1000 attic door sealer. Make sure to ask for the report because they’re really just trying to get you your quote. Otherwise it’s quick and painless and you get a good idea of what to fix next.
If you’re burnt out on the scammy contractors in the area you can also DIY it with a thermal camera. They’re like $30 on Amazon.
Good luck!! 🍀
LadySAD64@reddit
Thank you! This was very helpful!
historylurker@reddit
I’m definitely going to do that now! Ty!
cajonero@reddit
Yikes, dude. Do you live in an igloo? Mine was $135 for a 1900sqft home. Shop around for better rates, add some ceiling insulation, and/or raise the stat a degree or two.
historylurker@reddit
Oh wow. I need to do that. I keep the thermostat at 75 Fahrenheit. On no hot weather months the bill is usually at $215
cajonero@reddit
Yeah something ain’t right. I also keep mine around 75. You probably need to shop around. Check the rate that you’re paying now; I pay 6.5c/kWh before all the Oncor and TDU fees. It added up last month to an average of 11.5c/kWh after all the fees.
historylurker@reddit
I just checked and saw I pay 14 kWh :( I definitely need to look around. I’m in Arlington.
ArmandoCampos1985@reddit
Solar panels?
historylurker@reddit
I got solar panels but my bills were even higher. I tried calling the solar panel company but no answer and I went to their website and sent an email. No answer. I just bought this house last year and it came with the Solar Panels.
SiriusSlytherinSnake@reddit
I shit you not one month our bill was 267$ then the next we somehow got to 433$ despite using electricity less. Texas summer is something else.
Teapot_Technician@reddit
What is black system bbq?
blacksystembbq@reddit
sometimes somethings are better left unknown
Teapot_Technician@reddit
Listen, I need to know if you’re a pit master that has a secret African American system to bbq

A reddit commenter.
saysthingsbackwards@reddit
Most people call them users
firetomherman@reddit
Yeah for those of us who run in the morning I'll take anything that's not super hot or super humid
arlenroy@reddit
I concur, just getting out in general is a beating when it's already 90 degrees, at 6am. I wake up pretty early for work, stepping outside at 4am and being hit in face with a heat wave isn't enjoyable. I can only imagine going for a run, or for pet owners taking a walk. On my drive home yesterday (about 6:30pm) I could tell it was cooling down by how bright it was, in the dead of summer everything is blindingly bright. Yesterday there was a darker hue outside, not quite fall but a lot cooler. It was pleasant outside, finally.
Leemakesfriends29@reddit
I love the darker hue of fall
firetomherman@reddit
I prefer sun, but not when it's 197 degrees lol
ashdee2@reddit
This is me in a nutshell. Last two summers have made me want to cry because if not for the heat the weather would be perfect. I hate the cold
sarahkazz@reddit
The heat isn’t even the bad part, it’s the dang humidity!
ImPattMan@reddit
Good the humidity.. I get fairly bad exercise asthma sometimes, and I've noticed the humidity seems to make it worse
firetomherman@reddit
Yeah and the humidity is much worse in the morning. However I'll take that over hot and the sun beating down on me. Have a half marathon on the 21st and I'm just hoping like hell it's not going to be sunny lol.
Celcius_87@reddit
I need to get a new pair of running shoes. What kind do you wear?
firetomherman@reddit
So my daily trainer(slow and easy) is the saucony Triumph 21's. Easily my favorite shoe ever. Everyone is different though. Brooks glycerin are great for some people but not for me. I would love to get the saucony endorphin speed 3's for my fast runs but I can't find them cheaper than $134 so that's a nope. Just pulled the trigger on new balance propel v4 though and liked them on my intervals this morning.
Stunning_Berry444@reddit
I can tell I’ve lived in Texas for too long because I’m actually shivering
TomatoWitty4170@reddit
Jogging pants on!
moonlitshroom@reddit
I got my hoodies out
orangecartproperties@reddit

GlassMostlyRelevant@reddit
Going sailing today. So excited!!
fistedwithlove@reddit

GlassMostlyRelevant@reddit

beautamousmunch@reddit
Oooh! Hope it was great! I miss sailing.
WoWGurl78@reddit
I love when the cooler weather comes. My favorite part of the year.
dionisfake@reddit
I saw the weather and rejoiced, a low of 58 is crazy
Reverend0352@reddit
I’m going to miss the heat
Adventurous_Grab_594@reddit
It feels nice out! Can’t wait for temp to be in the 60s next week
arcanition@reddit
so I guess we just skipped from the 100-110 degree weather right to the 60-80 degree days? where did my fall go?
Mimaw10@reddit
1 YEAR AGO TODAY - 9.8.2023 - it was 110 Dallas degrees! 🔥🔥🔥 Can’t forget that.
So YES, “STEP OUTSIDE Y’ALL”!
milkbather@reddit
If I wasnt stuck in my stupid job all day I’d be frollickng in this concrete jungle. It feels so…normal
ccookiebread@reddit
I plan on taking a walk tomorrow just because it’s starting to get nice out
xeroxbulletgirl@reddit
I got to enjoy a day with the dogs playing in the yard and my back door and windows open. Airing out the house and enjoying the outdoors again! Fingers crossed it’s not just a false fall and hell temps return
sabiholland@reddit
I was outside sitting in my chair in my backyard almost all day. I walked outside this morning and went -.- it feeeels like September ♥️
fsi1212@reddit
Expecting 55 where I live tomorrow morning.
SLY0001@reddit
was outside for 2-3 hrs.
ranjithd@reddit
Today is one of 10 days in a year to step outside
mixem143@reddit
But it’s 6am on a Saturday morning….
permalink_save@reddit
It's peak heat rn and 85 and breezy. You can still get outside and enjoy it.
Intol3rance@reddit
I walked my dog at 5:30am.
beautamousmunch@reddit
It’s now 12:20 in the afternoon. Beautiful breeze and gorgeous out!
Old-Side5989@reddit

Araguill333@reddit

big-dal-tex@reddit
Bold of you to assume it’s not 6am Friday night
HeavyVoid8@reddit
Lol you silly silly human..... it's not here to stay yet
horsy12@reddit
Open yall’s windows too. Got a nice fresh breeze going.
gibbyhikes@reddit
It was a beautiful morning at White Rock.
bethy828@reddit
Yes! The humidity and dew point were low. Was hoping for it to be a little cooler for my race training today but it was so much better than it’s been since I started in June. The breeze was great too. Most early mornings are breeze-free.
-reddotdash@reddit
I leave to work at 530am and was cruising with my windows down the whole hour there😍🥹
johdawson@reddit
Went out for a ride around White Rock on my bike and it felt like heaven!
sombpa@reddit
I hope it isn’t false fall
Rock-it1@reddit
When I was a kid my family took a yearly summer vacation to the mountains. There is a rest stop in northern New Mexico at the base of Capulin Volcano. Whenever we stopped there the weather was different. It wasn't the sort of cool and fresh you get the first time you step out in the mountains themselves, but it was notably better than it was in Texas.
This weather is that feeling: it's not the freshness I am looking forward to, but it is a reminder that we're getting closer.
beautamousmunch@reddit
So well put! Never thought of it that way. 🤗
prguitarman@reddit
I’ve almost forgotten what nice weather felt like
Mystic-Marauder-@reddit
Im loving it, its like the ideal weekend. I went for a run this morning, and now I’m feeling so energized and pumped
ArmandoCampos1985@reddit
Our ac went out yesterday. It does actually feel good outside that’s y I’m outside
boldjoy0050@reddit
Is it just me or did we have a really light summer this year? I don't really remember any scorching hot days like last summer. Also, normally the awful heat lasts until October but now it's already pleasant outside.
Awwesome1@reddit
Told my parents the same thing. I work today and I told them they better enjoy it for me. I stepped outside for a quick walk anyways while r/soundmapping
DutchBlaz3r@reddit
Nice try Fitbit, I'll never resubscribe!! Muahahahaha!!
naked_avenger@reddit
Just went for a jog and it was magical
Sirsnacksalot23@reddit
I love it
CommitteeNegative930@reddit
It’s almost noon and it still feels good outside, not too hot.
Ashamed_Pea_3053@reddit
Just got back from a walk around turtle creeks, birds chirping, families walking,dogs shittin, girls in yoga clothes, it was nice.
Successful_Test_931@reddit
there were actually people sitting outside the restaurants
blacksystembbq@reddit
Which restaurants open this early with a patio? Breakfast places?
Successful_Test_931@reddit
Yeah cafes

No-Sympathy-686@reddit
Tomorrow morning is gonna be straight up chilly
Love it
HaloGuy381@reddit
Nah. The weather I was waiting for was the day of rain and low 70s the other day, most of which was while I was stuck in the store at work.
Low 80s is okay I guess. Full sun sucks though, it’s blinding and hot and gonna send the ragweed into overdrive again. A few days of not having to fight as hard to breathe and not needing to crutch the albuterol was nice I guess.
the_mrsJoness@reddit
Great day to get outside and walk your dog!
redraider-102@reddit
But I’m a Redditor. You can’t seriously expect me to go…outside. That would likely kill me.

joebleezie@reddit
You tryna catch a fade?
Hozay_La15@reddit
FINALLY. I had been monitoring the weather for 2 weeks in advance and was looking forward to this drop. Does anyone else do this or am I weird?
Rock-it1@reddit
If this is weird then the level I take it to should see me institutionalized.
syzygialchaos@reddit
Nope, I’ve been watching as well
championgoober@reddit
Yep! I rolled down the window and told my partner "finally it doesn't feel like Satan's asshole"

It rained all day yesterday and in the afternoon i decided to go for a walk at the park and im so glad i did. the weather was absolutely beautiful, i laid in the grass for a while and just enjoyed the fresh air. Took the time to call up a friend and just talked while i stared at the trees above my head
NoDadNotMyTrolls@reddit

The_DaHowie@reddit
Bailey's in that coffee would be good
YaGetSkeeted0n@reddit
I mean, a quick clip with a coffee on a balcony or porch is a great way to enjoy a crisp first hour of the day.
Confusedsoul2292@reddit

I'm cleaning out my garage today before it gets past 90.
YaGetSkeeted0n@reddit
Washing the car and taking advantage of how dry the air is -- no threat of sweat dripping onto the just-washed vehicle lol
MaxwellHillbilly@reddit
Yep, I'm going to watch a motorcycle race on tv and then head up to my storage unit that I've been needing to clean out all year...😂
Substantial-Hippo637@reddit
I wish it the weather could be like this all year at 6:00 in the morning and it was great but damn the mosquitoes are still out crickets are still around they're all confused about what to do
punkerjim@reddit
Just let my dog out and the chilly breeze made me decide i had to go for a long walk this morning. Hoping i can get it done before the fire disc melts me.
Traditional-Dog355@reddit
