You are correct. I have my thermostat set at 82 degrees in my house at Casa Grande, AZ. 82 is great. I have 3 floor fans going. I have found that I can save money and increase comfort if I can keep the air moving. Of course, the humidity is only 10%. I know what it is like. I originally hail from NE South Dakota. I remember what humidity, wind, and cold is. Summers are a brief hug and kiss in the upper Midwest. Down here in AZ, summers are brutal heat for 5 months. The other 7 months are pretty darn nice.

The horns sounds similar to the Queen Mary's horns only two notes higher. Even the best video quality doesn't do them justice. You have to feel the vibrations and hear the echoes coming from all over. It's the same with fighter jets at air shows. Video coverage is fine but to really appreciate it you have to be there to feel the atmosphere. Great video. 🚢👍

That was an amazing video! I am not sure if the Barker can be beat. What a magnificent Great Lakes ship.

Hey Mike - missed the live stream because we were at the Brewer game in Milwaukee. Love your comment regarding the A/C! As a former Duluth resident, you hit the nail on the head!! Awesome commentary on the Barker too!! Been there, and miss that so much! Can't thank you enough for giving us the experience!!❤

Brewers game? That’s awesome! I’m a big baseball historian and fan. One of my favorite Brewers of all time, Robin Yount! And you can’t discount Prince and one of our own from Minnesota, Paul Molitor.

I’ve been in Milwaukee a few times. There’s actually a really good Mexican restaurant down by the water. I forgot what part of town it is maybe 6 blocks from the lake. I think it’s Bonitas or something. It was so good.

Once again, I cranked up my Bose speakers to full volume to try and simulate the experience since I can't be there in person. This always angers my wife, but what the heck!

Man, it was like literal music to my ears. The two tone was just...I don't even know. Magical? Kinda eerie but relaxing? Silly to say that for just 2 notes but wow. Interesting.

I’m so glad that you found the channel and you were able to watch this specific video. Yes, this ship and its horn encapsulates the power of the Great Lakes. It is so cool. It is so different. And I know what you mean, it is like music to your ears. The one thing that it’s hard for me to describe is the power from that horn. You literally feel it vibrating through your body. It’s unbelievable. I really hope you subscribe and come back. Thank you for taking extra time to drop a cool comment.
