  1. For that size of a unit, I'd call around and see what it'd cost to charge it. If it were a cheap 5k btu unit then I'd just replace it.

     

    When you see them sold in Walgreen's and the local super markets you know that you will be lucky if they outlive the warranty paperwork...

  2. These are sealed units and are not meant to be repaired. Service valves would have to be installed into the lines and then recharged with refrigerant. Probably be more expensive than just buying a new one.

     

    Really hard to know which one of these units will be the one to throw away or if they are worth dropping coin on them least once... Two years ago our 28 foot ref is no longer cold after we moved... Service rep said it had a leak in one of the 2 evap coils and they they were very costly to replace with no chance for repair. Got him to install a clamp tap and add a tiny amount of R-134A and it is cold again, thinking it will be short lived I set it to its coldest settings and pick up an auto sized can of gas knowing I can add it again as needed... That was 2 years ago it still holds to the lowest settings and has needed no gas...

  3. It's not just the young that are the idiots of today... It is full grown adult men with gray hair who you would think would have common sense but I find it is a rare commodity any more... Know-it-all Captain want to be working as a deckhand here did not understand that you don't put just one bath rug in a top-load washing machine, same dolt who thought it was ok to park his 60K Jeep in a tow-away zone at the local airport after being told not too, same guy who broke bronze light switches.... The list goes on....

  4. I took my daughter to the airshow- her first. The airshow it self was great...
    However, I really thought the 'logistics' around it were lacking. It took me 1 hour after the show to get 3 miles to Pellisippi Pky. C'mon.

    The crowd management was pretty loopy too- a 3 mile walk to and from the car...for $30????? Seriously? With several bottlenecks along the route?

    And yes, 30 minute wait for the Porta potties, lines too long to even get a dumb frozen lemonade for the kid. Lame.

    Great airshow though. I could see an airshow once a month and it wouldn't get old. Just me though.

     

    Any Air Show is a great air show but of all the air shows I've been to over the years this one was the worst I've ever been to.... Was among the 1000's stuck in the car for hours trying to get in, even gave our self's an extra 1.5 hour to do it. Strange that getting out was no big deal at all... Watched lines a mile long form around the few and far between toilets... I understand the distance between parking and the show itself is nothing but logistics of what is available but if a 3 mile walk is the case then by golly you should have buses to help move the crowds....

  5. Last night I noticed that if I tried to open threads here in Exploder that I would get a Content Filter Activated from Cradlepoint with something about attempting to access a restricted website but the site is listed as staticxx.facebook,com nothing about TNGO

     

    I can open any and all pages here in Google/Chrome with no issues...

     

    Found out this is on our end... Seems our IT guy came in through the internet and added a bunch of blocks that don't really work at all, all they do is make some work related site not work due to built in links...

  6. My cousin and her husband own and drive or least he still drives their own trucking company. But she quit going out with him on the road a number of years back as one morning they woke up late in the sleeper both feeling really sick and on coming out of their sleeper to a wide open cab. In looking around everything of value in the cab as well as the sleeper was gone, including wallet, purse so they didn't even so so much as have ID or cash in hand... Turns out they had been gassed with something while sleeping that knocked them out cold...

  7. Judging by the pictures I think that this truck at one point or another was completely submerged and now no longer is for one reason or another. Where water once was there is now air and that tells me there is absolutely nothing on the truck I'd want to try and salvage namely engine, drive-line and body panels...

  8. Yep it's a sad internet mentality that some people would rather crap in the middle of a thread giving respect to someone who has past on than to go an post in the thread that was posted as the rant thread to the person who has past...

     

    He was not truly my cup of tea but he dam sure had some songs that were really very good and he could flat out rock a guitar as well as many other instraments...

  9. When I saw the pic of the fob on the end of the key ring that was the first thing that came to my mind was that it was fashioned to look like an oilfield drill bit... But then again I was born in the oilpatch down south and my father as well as my fathers father and brother too were at one time all Driller's....

  10. I tend to agree with Monkey as due to some builder issues with the cement based "Hardy Plank" on our porches I've been having to replace/repair a few and the local lumber store sold me a plastic composite board that has a deep wood grain embossed into it and since it did not match in color I had to paint it. It is not slippery at all took to the paint very well. It was easy to work with and the cut ends look like plastic particle board. Our neighbors have the same stuff that has 10 or more years age and while it needs to be cleaned of a bit of green growth he said it has been of absolutely no worry...

  11. Very much in thought and prayer...

     

    We just found out that our youngest Cavalier Lou Lou (she is 7ish) has the onset of glaucoma and will need some drops for her eyes for the remainder of her years... Hopefully it is something I can find via other source than the local vet as it is like 40+ for a tiny vial. Our oldest Cavalier Ruby is 10+ and has a tiny heart murmur but I can't see putting her on lifelong meds as she shows no systems to speak of and her quality of life is very/very good; you can see that in her eyes and actions... Our middle child Bella well she has just been a special and odd girl all her life....

     

    Don't know what I would do without anyone of our 3 stooges...

  12. My quote feature just does not work....

     

    TSA likely should do a lot of things and don't simply because they are the TSA to which there has been many cases of them refusing to accept a TWIC card which is issued  by the very same organization...
