Sun's trying to come out now.

I need to hook up the trailer and haul this plastic basketball goal out to the road for heavy trash pickup. Hopefully someone will just take it.

packed up and went to the lake, the fireworks were not as crazy down here and the dogs were calmer.
still sprinkling here so no sanding on the deck rail

I heard lots of fireworks here last night after I went to bed. I imagine tonight there'll be even more. Glad our critters don't care.

Happy Independance Day my fellow Hoosier Patriots. Hasn't been a good week here thus far. The AC decided to finally retire itself on Monday after 37 years of service ever since it was installed in 1987.

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise though. 37 years out of an AC unit is a pretty darn good run. It just sucks to have to put that kind of money out these days for new HVAC but can't do without it since two of us here both have respiratory issues.

The HVAC contractor spent most of the day yesterday with the installation. Had to have both the AC compressor unit outside replaced as well as the air handing unit in the basement. Finally got AC running again by about 5:30 pm. Itt's been kind of a struggle dealing without AC for the past couple of days without it.

Evening KG1

37 is a great run! You'd be lucky if your new one lasts half that

IKR.. My brother has had to replace his twice now in a 26 yr. time span.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy KG! Glad you got it taken care of. Definitely don't want to be without AC this time of year!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Got the basketball goal and a kid-sized plastic chair hauled out to the road. If the chair's not gone in the morning, it'll fit in the trash can.

Yeah, hated to have to put out that kind of money for new HVAC but it's not really a choice. We were very fortunate with the old unit. 37 years without having any major issues and no costly parts replacement, just routine annual maintenance turnup costs and it ran like a champ.

That is a helluva run for sure.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Man it's looking pretty threatening to the south, but there's nothing on the radar. It's dead calm now too.

My ride this morning was short . . . . . But I made up for it now.

The Bullitt wants me to brave the rain to grill him a steak. I can't disappoint my boy. Here I go.

Hello DD.
Back in with the dog food. Have to wring myself out, but the pup is happy.
