monday

It was 106 degrees yesterday with a heat index of 113. It's been like for well over a week. Without central air the inside of my house feels like an oven.......cats don't pant but Mr. Bojangles was sitting on the coffee table panting. I thought he was going to die. I watered him and We-ing then put them in the basement where it was a little cooler.... I threw my bed away a week ago............so sleeping on the floor in an oven has sucked big time.
The guy worked on the central air. He said the motor in the central air unit had been put in upside down and that it wasn't the right motor for my unit..............I told him it had to be something else because I've lived here for 21 years and even if the motor was in upside down, and even if it was the wrong motor, it's always worked...........but I was at a loss because I don't know about this type of crap.........so I allowed him to replace the motor, and whatever else..........after he completed his work& turned the unit back on,  the compressor went out. So a $660.00 job will now cost me around 3500.00. for a new unit or 2600.00 for them to rebuild mine. I'm bummed......and can't help but wonder if the compressor was the problem all along, or did he fuck it up.............
The air conditioning people are coming today to sell me, and hopefully install a new unit................the carpeting people are coming this week to lay new carpeting.............and hopefully I'll haVE THIS HOUSE ON THE mARKET BEFORE THE WEEKEND. Unfortunately a better, cuter house down the street just put a for sale sign up........the overall appearance of this street is going to hell........I might end up in this house for the rest of my life.

And you fucking believed him when it have been working for 21 years? What motor, a fan motor? Never mind, no point in going there now.

If I got 21 years out of an A/C system I would just put in a whole new system.

The year we lived in Arizona we slept in the bed of the truck on warm evenings so we didn't have to share the bed with rattlesnakes.

But right now I just wish the fuck it would get up to 75 degrees here.

Your kitties are cute Billy. The Siamese looks like my We-ping......except We-ping has a crossed eye.
The central air unit was 12 years old when I bought the house, Billy. So it was 33 years old.
They're putting the new unit in Wed.
I'm glad that cute butt hugged you....made me smile to read it.

I hugged her, I did not touch her butt. LOL

The current house? What would be wrong with that? At least the new A/C unit should last as long as you do.

I fucking hate moving, I'll die here, without A/C, but it seems to be getting warmer here, I'm taking a liking to global warming.

Hot damn, it's supposed to get up to seventy degrees here on Friday, A/C units add to global warming so turn crank that new baby up and watch your electric meter spin, I love it when you're willing to help pay for me to have it warmer here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. But it's going to get hotter there also, you had better get back to work to pay that electric bill, I would like to see my heating bill go down this winter being as I don't have a fat squaw to keep me warm.
