Coffee anyone ?

Oh man, for some reason I thought it was the heat/AC in your CAR that was broken. House is a problem for sure!

I wouldn’t want to contact the neighbor either, if he and his wife are going to act like that. I can’t believe they even skipped BJ’s memorial. That’s holding a grudge too far. It might be nice to contact them as a way of offering an olive branch. But it seems like that should be on them.

Is he the only AC repairman used by all of the neighbors around? Maybe another neighbor can refer you to someone else good.

Ditto on that neighbor. Hope you can get all fixed.

@Baymule -Very basic suggestion here and you've probably already done it - but have you checked the breaker? If not the breaker is there a chance that any of the dogs chewed a wire under the house? My dogs have been guilty of chewing wires not only on the AC unit, but the septic pump....argh! And, that's the reason I now have a fence across half the yard so they can't access those areas anymore, lol.

Hope it's a simple (cheap) fix!

as a reminder: ChicRustler on SS is an AC guy

She was SUPER wide!!!

She was! I checked for another lamb, nope. Double checked that it was the right ewe, no dogs in the paddock (yep they’ll erm…take care of a still born and they know not to bother a live lamb, yuck but how it works for me) anyhow I was sure it was twins at least. Her lamb is as big as my week olds.

AC neighbor is mad at me. He told me to use his 20 yard dumpster, so I did. He got upset because it is only dumped 4 times a year and it was full a month before the scheduled dump. I put some broken lawn chairs in it, so obviously it was all my fault. Haven’t spoken since. He didn’t even come to BJs memorial. So conundrum here. Do I call him for help? Do I call him for recommendations for a heating repairman?

His wife was coming over to buy a cedar chest and didn’t show or call. I texted the next day and she went off on me. So I didn’t contact her again.

So do I really want to call him? Not really. Do I want a whallopping big repair bill? Not really. Going to get down in the 30’s at night this weekend, heat might be nice to have.

NOT having a fun time here!

They sure got bent out of shape fast...

I would make a baked good of your choice..

And carry it over... say sorry for putting in the chairs... guess those were to big...

Could we be friends again?

And.... about my AC....

But yeah... first check all stuff @frustratedearthmother suggested.

There is the electric panel breaker and, some units have a breaker within them? So maybe you will get lucky and just need to reset. Maybe a mouse chewed a wire somewhere....just saying, possible a small fix....thermostat control on wall? Or such. Hoping so for you. Is this a central heat pump unit and you've been using ac portion?


We'll, today it's overcast....fits with a dental apptment today. . I'm getting a cap soon, like within the month. This is a different dentist on my plan as first was just "so busy" I just couldn't get in!! They had cancelled a couple aptmts, reset times way out and not good. Anyway, I got annoyed and switched. So, probably a look see and set apptmt. They assure they can get me in to do. Yr end I loose all $ available, start over for 2022 use. Since enough to pay in full, I want to use this! Lost last yrs funds at other dental office as they "had no time". . Not in pain but, tooth is chipping away . Old teeth!

That seems all I have planned for day. Coolish in 40s, some rain threatening over next couple days. Always work here to do. Something will happen, somewhere.

OW!

Mooooom, @Alaskan slapped me and I didn't do nuffin to deserve it!!!

DS left blinkers on.

I am ALWAYS accidentally turning the tractor blinkers on, usually without even realizing it. Wish the control was not near my left knee or at least had some sort of guard over it.

So time to get cut back and cleaned off.

The goats eat the leaves but not the vines? Silly critters, that is their job, eating brush and other unpalatable plants!!

Maybe a mouse chewed a wire somewhere....just saying, possible a small fix

Small to fix but maybe HUGE to find!

Good luck Bay. I wonder why your AC neighbor is so thin skinned. He said you could use it and all you did was toss in a couple of lawn chairs which filled it up?? Is it bigger than a 96 gallon trash barrel? He COULD always take the chairs out and put them on top the day prior to it getting emptied.

-yawn-

Still tired from yesterday...

And, today is another day.

New dentist is great! Drive to that office wasn't . I don't go to that area often anymore, and boy, the road construction!!!! Hardly know where you are. So, after this, will go to their closer office, just took appointment there that was open. Anyway...they have equipment with IT that amazed me. Actually used a hand held cam to scan your teeth and there on screen it was like they took your teeth out to review. Boy, coffee stains! So I go this Friday for cleaning AND prep for cap, placing temp. Following Fri the permanent one gets applied. After first of yr will sched for other one to be done. Really liked the people and treatment.

During my travels I had to go off the torn up interstate -- I swear this has been ongoing for 10 years! -- and thru areas of city where "progress" has built up to a point that I hardly recognized the places I'd driven through and around for years. Since my time out of there it has been made into a totally different city! I was transported to a different world. Wow!! What an eye opener!! . Coming home, I began getting my head back on about my previous city life and bit the bullet of reality-- that I've lived out here for 21 years now and hadn't had mom to visit back there for over 10 yrs. Time sure flies....right? What a wake up call !!!!!!

Really jerked me around. I was happy to get back to my quiet farm life. The only noise and crowding were the goats and chickens. The little old minis followed me quietly to their feed trough, with just a few soft nickers of thanks. Big city and small town are 360 apart. Alas, I have at least 2 more visits to endure.. But I will take a less eventful route close to their facility on those trips, now that I have my bearings on it all. I could not live around there now. Nope, no way. a country hermit I'll be.

a country hermit I'll be

And what a wonderful thing that is!

Coffee is ready! Yes, I checked breakers. Finally got unit to come on but it was barely blowing. I know the heat doesn’t blow as hard as AC but warm air was barely trickling out.

I did not call a$$hole neighbor. They wanted BJ to marry them in March. So we ordained him on the internet and he did their ceremony. And they didn’t even show him the respect of attending his memorial. My life is just fine without them in it.

I called a repairman. The capacitor on the blower was almost done. It tested very weak, so he replaced it. Checked some other things. Bill was $116. I’m good with that.

This morning I’m going to a town up above Dallas to purchase a registered ewe. 10 months old, ready to breed, but related to both rams, so owner sent me a text. I had inquired months ago, delighted to have opportunity to take this girl home.

Robert is going with me. He’s been down with a kidney stone, restricted to not doing anything and about to drive his wife crazy. So I’m taking him off her hands so she can have some quiet time. LOL After discussion about which truck to take, we chose his. It already has a camper shell on it, mine would mean taking railed off, putting camper shell on, then taking it back off. Nah.

Y’all have a great day!
