This is what I saw on our refrigerator yesterday morning. 66-44-77-66. Struck me as rather unusual, but then it’s been happening a lot lately: glancing at the clock at 11:11 or 15:15. I even glanced at the electronic odometer in the new car a few weeks ago to find it was the same as the time on the clock.
Anyway, I never imagined I’d live in a place where I would consider 60% relative humidity “dry,” but Uruguay is that place. As you might surmise from my note on the AcuWRONG device in the photo, the accurate humidity reading is actually 12% more.
Today is again completely overcast and windy. I’ve got the wood stove cranked up, even though for economic reasons (lower electrical rates during the day) it makes more sense to use the electric “split” (heat/AC) unit. The more dry heat we can get today, the better!
And I think back to wood stoves up north with cast iron kettles boiling water on top for humidity – nooooooo!
Later that day: get in car after walking dog, glance at clock….
I just checked my hygrometer, and it’s 62% inside even with all the rain and high humidity outside. Of course, I run my Buck Stove fireplace insert for heat. If it’s not raining, it’s usually around 58% inside during heating season.
Do they have a lottery in Uruguay? Maybe you should buy a ticket… 😉
Yes, there is one; next on the 21st of September, with a grand prize of USD 680,000. Don’t think I’ll be participating in the voluntary tax for the mathematically challenged….
