I mean, I know that my BIL is aggressively lazy, but muther ****. :mad: The AC stopped working effectively overnight and my MIL asked him to check it out first thing in the morning. Before leaving for the day, I changed out the air filter, which still had my handwriting on it from when I changed it out... in Aug 2021. We (wife and I and the kids) just got back from a day of being out and about on vacation to find the lazy **** laying on the couch, per usual. "Well, the fan's not spinning outside. I haven't checked the fuse out there, yet." Why. The ****. Not? It's July in VA, you moron. It took me 30 seconds to confirm that there is no ******g fuse and then another 60 seconds for my wife to call the heating/cooling company to find out that, hey - it's now after 5:00 and effectively the 4th, maybe we'll get back to you on Tuesday. Lazy ******g ****. |

Ran out with a long-handled screw driver to reach through the grate and spin the blades - moving freely. Probably a bad cap, then, but I don't want to unscrew the panel and be a sitting duck for dusk mosquitos. :cry:
I don't know squat about HVAC - but have a few friends in the field so I've acquired a few tidbits |

Had a little run in with a rail road gate yesterday. We got stopped by the train so the arm was down. We went on the side walk as the train was ending. As I was passing the traffic control the guy behind me said "I'm on your right" so I moved left and got hit by the counter weight for the arm. Backs all scraped up and bruised hips sore. Knocked the wind out of me. I'm sore as crap this morning. Hopefully a hot shower will help. Must avoid in the future. Wish I saw who was passing me I'd have a couple words for him.

I think there were at least 50 riders, he was a member of the club before I was. I got some of his gels and packaged ride snacks but couldn't use any of his gear.
https://www.bing.com/images/blob?bcid=szv5kGA-AV0EWA one of my close bike friends passed away within the past year ; he was a frame builder and had a shop at his house so he had a significant amount of component / parts and tools some 'young guys' (lol) purchased majority of the frame build tools and related LBS has been selling off much of his inventory on eBay |

The business end of the weed eater flew apart Saturday... Which adds a trip to the city to my already busy schedule. |

Had an enjoyable weekend tramping (hiking) and soaking in some natural hot pools. Nice easy walk. Lots of good food. Good company. It even was fairly mild for winter with only a light frost.

When's the last time you've seen stars like that? Wow!
They must have more in the southern hemisphere. We didn't get that concentration even in the Belizean rainforest. |

Back when I lived in the Bay Area, I was riding in Portola Valley, and a guy in 7 Eleven kit was riding the other way about 20 mph sitting up, no handed. Turned out it was Eric Heiden. Talk about BIG legs!! |
Slow morning. Must be a bank holiday. I hope you all are relaxing marvelously. I have already run a few errands, on the town bike, and will soon head to the city on the bus. Ungodly humid this morning.
Aahhhh summertime |

I also gave her detailed instructions on how to collect the practice receivables, and how to take over the real estate company. I don’t want her to worry about small stuff, but don’t want her giving away stuff that could be converted to meaningful cash.
I've been a 'picker' for decades - more of an accumulator than a collector so we have an assortment of ... 'stuff' old toys, tools, jugs, pots, trunks, car, motorcycle, bicycle (including vintage bmx), etc some of the stuff can be worth some money - so I have reviewed/reminded wife and kids (just in case/when that time arrives) I should probably document |

Good news: I went on a ride with some friends
Bad news: I am on call and got several pages, the first couple I was able to address while soft pedaling, but more kept coming so I had to send my friends on their way and put out some fires. Good news: on my way home I saw some yummy wild raspberries and ate them. Dee-licious! |

Another embarrassment of riches day. I know too many words.

They should do this again, I'd totally drive to San Diego for it. Fireworks shows are too damn long.

No, no - there was no fuse in the circuit in the first place. He just assumed that there was and didn't check and didn't call anyone, either.
When I changed that filter in August, it had been more than a year and a half since it had been changed. The intake was audibly groaning from the load, but he never noticed. :rolleyes: |
