Down here in the FL Keys it's pronounced barracuda and it's a mean fish with razor sharp teeth.

 

Into our second week of vacation.  Last week we traveled north to Savannah GA.  It was very warm and my wife suffered.  First day took the hop on hop off trolley tour, then walked across town to a restaurant.  By the next morning my wife had blisters on her feet and she was done.  One additional day and then returned home.  A day at home to cut the grass and collect mail then down here to the Keys house.  Arrived Sunday and found that the AC was not working.  Spent a very uncomfortable night in the heat and humidity.  Wife was miserable.  Monday am the AC tech arrived and spent a few hours diagnosing the problem.  Faulty expansion valve.  He left saying he will be back when he has the part.  Texted him that late afternoon to ask if they had the part.  They told me they were waiting on the distributor to get back to them.  I knew the the part was not available in the Keys.  Called a friend who is an AC guy in Naples and he said he would pick up the part in the morning.  

 

Today our local AC guys didn't have much to say, still waiting.  Told them I could get the part.  Made the 2 1/2 hour drive to meet our friend half way, then drove the 2 1/2 hours back, and let the local guy know I had the part.  They will be here tomorrow am to fix the AC.  One more night of heat and humidity. 

 

I LOVE MY VACATION

 

My daughter and her husband are coming down Wednesday night or Thursday morning depending on if the boat trailer lights are working.  Son in law is NOT very handy when it comes to repairing things.  On top of that they lost the license plate for the boat trailer.

 

I need another beer...

 

 

 

Oh my goodness. I didn't know whether to like, or hug your post.  I think that beer is needed.

In some places I see homeless people at the side of the road with a sign saying something like "Homeless.  Need money for food" or "Will work for food"

 

Down here I see them sitting in the sidewalk on Duval St. in Key West (where the bars are) with signs saying "Why lie.  I need a beer"

??   That's a new one on me.

[Neonred 3,461]

LOL.  My AC guy that picked up the needed part that was not available here called me last night to see if we have air.  Not yet, but...

 

Then he says "You won't believe this but I just broke a tooth.  I need to see you as soon as you are back in the office"

 

Lucky I did not pay for that part yet.

Todays update.

 

AC guy showed up @ 11:30 to check to see if I had indeed picked up the right part.  He verified it is correct.  Said he will be back later...

 

Time for another beer.  Got to keep hydrated in this heat and humidity.

Glad he verified it. hopefully he shows up now. 

 

 

 

I called the city yesterday asking for their help after the latest plumber said the issue is on the city side. Not even 20 mins after that call the city was out front.  Saw the city out there again this morning. The Hillbilly went out to talk to the guy. Turns out he was there looking for our manhole. He finally found it 130 away from our house. Our line does not tie into it back there. He said our line ties into the main in front of the house. THat is great news so far as we had a few plumbers trying to tell us that our line ran though our neighbours yard. He tells us the crew will be out here later (there out there now) to clean the main line and run a camera. Finally we are getting somewhere after 8 months of bull. The guy said always call them before we call a plumber. They're freee too and plumbers cost a fortune.

Hooray!  As of a little after 3:00pm today we have AC!  

 

Was up to 87 in the house again before they finally got it working.

 

Going to sleep well tonight!

Summer colds are the worst, even worse when you end up working the entire day from home even though you feel like trash. 🤧

[Ontarkie 13,957]

Yes they are. Feel better soon.

Maybe the heat (or the cold, depending on the definition of Many) addled your P-math skills, temporarily forgiven man.
