Not a problem...;)

Just glad we could be together tonight...;)

[ilovew]

Me too. How's everything with you?

[rzeznikj at stout]

I tendered my resignation at the camp...

...and start a new job at the local office-supply store for the time being. ;)

And, I'm off the hook for looking for fall work--which I would have had to do if I remained at the camp...

[ilovew]

Sounds good.

We're on session break right now. A new group of campers come on Sunday. I'm halfway through my summer. And only a month and a half to go until I start working with the DoD :)

[rzeznikj at stout]

Cool...

You have FRmail...;)

[rzeznikj at stout]

Drats!!

Killed my own thread!!

[Rca2000]

Well, I guess it is another slow night. I have to be going to bed soon(again.....that is getting to be the norm for me nowdays.no more "all nighters" on the FR and AK" anymore!

Got a swap meet in Dayton tomorrow morn.

Was a somewhat hard week, but NOT a bad one(I don't have many bad weeks anymore, ans with my audio finds lately.things are looking a lot greener in m y pastures, so to speak!!).

It was HOT here today. Glad I was able to fix the A/C a couple of weeks ago, when the wire burned off the terminal. (Otherwise, had a "repairman " been called, they would have probably condemned the 12 Y.O ,10 SEER unit and tried to get my mom to buy a new one!!), But a piece of #12 wire, 2 female terminals, and all is great now. Also, I was able to repair the blower module in my van, so I have A/C in it now, too.

Speaking of A/C, let me share a little story of how bad HVAC repair companies try to rip people off. My friend Chuck, with whom I work at my 2nd job, had me go and check out a blower problem on his uncle's A/C unit, at his house. There were two problems:: One, there was water leaking out of the top of the furnace, when the air was on. That, of course, turned out to be a clogged drain line, and was fixed by a coat hanger and a clamp.

The other problem, is the blower would not shut off. The problem here is a stuck relay on the control module.

Now, both of these sound like simple problems, right?

I guess Airtron didn't think so, as they recommended that the ENTIRE heating and cooling system be replaced, at a cost of nearly $5k!!

In reality a NEW control module will cost only $65. They wanted $500 JUST for the part!!, They had claimed a bill of about $900, to repair the old (1999 model) furnace ,but had suggested a new system instead!!

Needless to say, these are older people. It seems that these companies prey on people like this, to sell unneeded parts and new systems to, when their old one could be fixed easily!!

Now, I realize that everyone has to make a living. And I figure that charging about $120 or so for the module would have been fair, along with maybe $150-200 for the labor and unclogging the drain line. But to try and bilk those people into a new furnace and A/C, when the furnace is ONLY 7 years old??

To me that is CRININAL behavior!!

It's supposed to get hotter than heck here this weekend--100 in southern WI on Sunday...;)

[darkangel82]

Anyone still here?

[rzeznikj at stout]

Yep, I'm still here.

[rzeznikj at stout]

Kinda surprised Snugs and Max haven't been by yet...

[darkangel82]

It's 5 am for snugs right now, but where is Max?

[rzeznikj at stout]

Good question...

[DollyCali]

Was hot & humid here today also..I was outdoors for many hours & sweated up a storm.. I hang my laundry on the line to dry & fluff & de-lint afterward in drier. I did 8 loads today. My norm is 3 loads a day but since the flooding a few weeks ago, I am dong prolly 10+ loads a day. Keeps the exercise to & from clothes line in back yard very busy!!!!! The rains/thunder boomers hit here today when I was deep in woods with pooches.. really got humid then (and it was pretty yukky prior)

[rzeznikj at stout]

This weather is unnngh...

OTOH, it also means that I don't have to cut the grass or weed-whack...

[DollyCali]

snugs has been visiting at the Dose & maybe busy on her new "steal" a 3 dollar Ebay exercise machine..

Hi Eleanor.. you still awake? I just had my bath.. a long herbal soak & now am ready for another glass of wine & some dreamland!!!!!

[rzeznikj at stout]

Ah, that's why...

IIRC, she's normally here on Fridays, so not seeing her here was a little odd, that's all...

[DollyCali]

I think she posted on another thread (max.. our sunshine) that she would be out of town visiting her sis until late tomorrow.

Many folks are very busy in summer.. and that is good. I Love seeing you all.. & I am confident that when I win the lottery & can make appropriate arrangements for travel & lodging, that all of the "regulars" will have a great face to face at some exotic & wonderfully fun place!

All ages, shapes, tempermanents.. just getting further acquainted.. hey, who knows.. maybe we can invite Chuck Norris???

How cool would that be?? (I'll bet he would attend)

[rzeznikj at stout]

yep, that would be nice...

[darkangel82]

It would be very nice, if only I had the time and money to go anywhere or plan anything.
