day 21 - Long Weekend and Football

Let the weekend begin. I have a long four day weekend and it is halftime of football right now. What a good night. We went to dinner at BW3. David loves the chicken and mini corndogs there. He is not a big eater at dinner and prefers breakfast but he did not want to leave the table tonight. He wanted to walk out of the restaurant on his own and through the parking lot without holding someone's hand and that is not allowed so I had to carry him and he did not want to go in his seat. When a little kid arches his back it is hard to get him in a seat. No work today and all day with David tomorrow I wonder what we will do. Maybe a trip to Lowes.




Here's to some good college games and no one getting injured in the last preseason football game for the NFL. That might kill some fantasy teams out there.

Day 18 - Broken AC and 100 degrees

OK today is more about the racket that is air conditioning repair. David had a good day and enjoyed dancing to music after dinner tonight. But back to the real issue here. It is 100 degrees today and the AC in our house went out again. The capacitor popped and of course even though I know what I need I cannot just buy it locally because I am not a licensed HVAC contractor. That goodness for the internet so I can spend just a few dollars instead of having to pay someone for the part. I just have to wait for shipping. A $15 dollar part cost between $95 - $175 to be installed by a professional. Four wires and six screws for over $150 that is a rip off if you ask me. Fall will be here soon and that is better football weather anyway. College games start this weekend so I am looking forward to watching football. The heat is not helping my headache from the day in the office. The banging by David on a box after school did not help much either. What other industry do you feel is a racket?
