We've had some warm days this week. Is anybody starting to think of warmer weather? Some people get the boat ready, or prep the lawn mower. At my age, this is my idea of getting ready for summer. Way more important to keep the A/C working than getting my tan up to par.  People may say I'm a hoarder, and maybe that's true. But I have a few rental properties, and I've also become that guy in the neighborhood who my neighbors call on hot days, so I decided to cover all my bases. Not those cheap Chinese ones either. I'm preferential towards AmRad caps. At my age, fixing the AC within the hour is the sexiest thing I can to for Mrs Sigcrazy7.

Still snow on the ground here up North. Summer can wait. | |||

Coincidentally, I have to replace the capacitor on my a/c compressor fan. Not a tough job. Pull out the breaker, discharge the old capacitor. Mount new one. Swap wires. Replace breaker. Test run. Tell Mrs DF how difficult and expensive it was and that I need a Walther P5 to recover emotionally. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

You need a couple of 30A contactors too . | |||

I'd like to hold on to Spring a while longer - like six months.  | |||

For real? |
I swapped out all our winter wheel setups on Friday. This morning, it snowed. Not minority enough! | |||

not even close, or ever for that matter. Hot dry weather sucks!  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

That’s a good call. My AC doesn’t have a contactor, but all my rentals do. Mine has some type of Emerson logic board, and if that goes, I’ll need a pro. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Nope, I'm on team winter. You can always put on more clothes to stay warm, but if you start taking clothes off to cool down at some point law enforcement is going to get involved. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

Nope, had 2 really good days snowboarding over the weekend. Still got at least another month of fresh powder!  | |||

I was hoping to get another day of skiing in down this way (Sugar Mountain or Beech Mountain, North Carolina). It may be cool enough, but looking at their webcams, coverage is low and it looks slushy, so I think I'm done for the season. No, I'm not ready for summer either!

Not really from Vienna |
I’m kind of enjoying the cool nights. The howling March winds, not so much. | |||

The older I get the more I absolutely despise Texas summer, and it looks like we are getting an early start. Nothing like wearing your summer clothes and sweating from mid-March until December. | |||

I got ready for winter with a new snowblower and had one of the least snowy winters since WWII. I got ready for summer by becoming a member of a shooting club, then tore my rotator cuff.  | |||

I took the XS650 out on a ride today in a T-shirt. It was probably in the mid 60s. Supposed to be a front coming in tomorrow to cool things down. Maybe a little snow on Sat.

Fighting the good fight |
Hell no. We had a couple days with temps in the 80s already last week, and I hate it. I want the cool weather to last as long as possible. | |||

SigC, if you need all those AC parts you got serious equipment problems. Just say'in  "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||
