I also had a partial replacement at the office building last month.
Paying for that stuff is no fun.

There should be a national holiday celebrating the invention of practical AC for the home and office.

We replaced one HVAC unit at home in the summer of 2020.
We replaced another home HVAC unit last summer.
I replaced the evaporator coil in one of the office systems last month.
We are hoping that we do not have to replace the third and largest system at home this summer or the other office system.
I've spent over $30k replacing air conditioning systems in the last 24 months.
But, I'm not spending a single friggin day without AC in the summer.

I've been invited to do a shortened version of a club ride with 5500 feet of gain in 62 miles. Not sure how that will go.

Where in the SMs were you going? When it's really hot I have driven to the beach near Sycamore canyon. From there you can do all the climbing and descending you want and can turn back to the beach when you get hot. There is also water in places on those fire roads.
I have found if it's 100 in the valleys it will be 100 in the Santa Monicas for the most part.
