The tune-up was a great idea

There really weren’t any problems with my HVAC unit.

Even though it is only the beginning of June, I have been running the AC every single day. It has been very hot and the humidity has been awful. The humidity is one of the worst parts of living down south. Even if it’s 80° outside, it still feels like 95 because of the humidity. The humidity causes moisture in the air and that makes the air heavier. Heavier air makes the HVAC system work harder. I noticed that the machine was staying on longer than normal and it seemed to take a long time for the AC to reach the desired indoor temperature. I decided to contact a company in the city to provide a tune-up service to the system. During the tune-up service, the HVAC technician checks all of the important mechanical and electrical parts inside of the machine. A service tune-up is a great way to find out if you are having any problems and it’s a good way to clean and service your system. I contacted the HVAC service center and made an appointment for the following day to have the service performed. The tune-up turned out to be a great idea. There really weren’t any problems with my HVAC unit. The technician said that the coils still looked brand new and they were very clean. He tightened the belts and made sure that I had plenty of refrigerant in the machine. We also changed the air filter and cleaned up the area outside near the AC compressor. It was a complete and full service tune up.

Going to the river was good idea on that hot day

On days when the temperatures are extremely hot, I like to go to the river. The river offers a lot of fun activities. There are places to sit down and relax like pavilions and benches. There are barbecue pits and even a couple of large spits as well. There are many different places to access the river and a couple of those areas have sandy beaches and a shallow area for the kids to play. When I have a day off on the weekend, I often take the kids to the river. I had some work to complete on Thursday and I was at home with the kids. I was working on the computer, but I promised the kids that we would go to the river when I was done with my work. They were being impatient, but I was working as fast as I could. Around 11:30, the power went out in the house. When the power went out, so did the air conditioning system. I thought the power would come back on quickly. It was not raining and there were no storms in the area. It was odd in the first place when the power went out. I went online to check the website to see how long it was going to take to turn the power back on. That’s when I found out that the power was not scheduled to come back on until later that afternoon. Since there was no air conditioning and no power in the house, going to the river was the best thing we could do. It didn’t make sense to sit at the house roasting in the heat.

I don't have to worry about a car

Covid hit my family hard.

My wife got sick first and she couldn’t really quarantine away from me and the kids.

When I got sick, we took the kids to her parents house and poked and prayed that they would not get sick too. I was sick for 4 weeks and I lost my job at the HVAC service repair center. I did not return to work until several months later. I interviewed for several jobs. A lot of people wanted to know why I had been out of work for such a long time. When I explained the problems that my family had with the covid virus, people were very understanding. I interviewed for a job with a local repair service. I really didn’t know much about that company, but they had an advertisement online and I contacted the number and got a return email from the company executive. The HVAC repairman job was for a skilled level mechanic with knowledge in commercial, industrial, and residential HVAC applications. I was the perfect fit for the job. The salary is pretty good, but the best part of the job is the fact that I get a company truck. I can use the truck as my personal vehicle as long as I am not traveling more than 200 miles in one day. That’s all the company insurance will cover. My wife and I lost one of our vehicles when we couldn’t pay the bills and hearing about this job almost made me want to cry. I’m a grown man, but I could not believe my luck and the generosity of the HVAC business. I worked at the other company for 8 years and they never gave me a company car.

The new job takes me almost 45 minutes to get to work

For the past 9 years, I worked as a repairman for a nationwide commercial HVAC service provider.

I was in charge of Three Counties at one time and my sales were the highest in the whole company.

I expected my boss to eventually give me a raise and put me in charge but that never happened. After 9 years I finally made the decision to look for a different job. I interviewed with several HVAC repair agencies. Most of them were surprised that I was applying for an entry level job given all of the experience that I had listed on my resume. One of the HVAC service companies told me that he had a corporate position available that he believed I would be perfect for. The corporate position sounded interesting and I listened very carefully as the man explained more details about the HVAC job. Basically, I would be in charge of special projects and I would oversee several branches for the repair company. Everything sounded perfect, but the biggest downfall was the location. The position was at the corporate office in the city and I was a good 45 minutes away from the location. I was interviewing for a job that was 5 minutes away from my home address. The office manager offered me the job if I wanted to commute. There was no way that I was going to turn down the job after that even if it meant driving almost an hour to get to work every day. I have the money to buy a better car that is fuel efficient and economical.

I went to the river every day to cool off in the summer

Some people from school decided to go on a long extended break during the summer, but I’m really glad that I decided to stay home and work at a summer camp program.

The experience was wonderful and it’s going to look great on any job application in the future.

I got the job working at a summer camp. I knew it was going to be a lot of fun to work with the kids. One of my friends from school worked at the summer camp program the previous summer and she got me the job. We were both put in the arts and crafts room. It was a lot of fun to come up with ideas and projects that we could do with the kids. The 6-week camp program was by the river and we had access to the water anytime that we wanted. Some of the days, the temperatures were above 90. During one specific week, the temperatures were over 100°, five days in a row. I went to the river every afternoon to cool off. None of the cabins had air conditioning, so we had no way to cool down at the end of a long day. The lack of air conditioning was the only downfall to the entire summer experience. If the temperature had been 10° perfect, air conditioning wouldn’t have mattered and it would have been the most amazing experience of my whole life. I hope that the summer camp will invite me back to work again next year. The experience was certainly one that I won’t forget. I made a lot of friends and some of those people ended up at the same college as me.

The surge protector kept tripping on and off

When my friends and I go camping during the summer, I take my tent and I stay outside. My friends have an rv. It’s small, but I could sleep indoors on the couch. I like to have some privacy, so I bought a couple of years ago. It was incredibly hot and humid and very difficult to sleep outside in the heat. The following year I decided to buy a portable air conditioner for the 10th. My friends thought I was crazy, but I had the idea in my mind and I knew it was going to work. I vented the portable air conditioner out of the pocket of the tent. I kept the portable air conditioner running all day and all night. I kept the tent closed so I wouldn’t have to work the system too hard. My friends thought I was crazy, but it worked very well. I had a much cooler space and the area was all mine. We went back to the shore a couple of weeks ago and I took my tent and portable air conditioner. We were plugged into the power at the campground and the surge protector kept tripping on and off. I was trying to figure out why the surge protector kept tripping, because I wanted to run the air conditioner so I would be cooler and more comfortable. I had to get one of the campground attendants to look at the power box before we could figure out why the problem was happening. The ranger had to put a brand new 110 outlet in the power pole.

When it’s 105 outside, the AC will only run until lunchtime

Heat and humidity are really hard on the air conditioning system.

When we have excessive heat like we are experiencing right now, everyone suffers.

We all do what is necessary to stay as cool as possible during the days when the temperatures are over 100°. It was 105° last week and I tried everything I could to keep the house cool. I had all of their curtains closed all day and I didn’t let the kids run inside and outside. Since it was triple digits, I asked them to stay inside to play. I did not want them to go hang out with their friends and end up getting heat stroke. I knew the kids would not hydrate properly if I did not keep them home. They had some friends come over and every one of the kids disappeared into the basement to play video games. When it’s 105 degrees outside, that AC will only run until lunch time. We have the same problem every year when the temperatures are hot. There really isn’t anything that we can do to remedy the problem. When the AC stopped working, I took all of the kids outside and we turned on the hose. The kids played in the water and we did what we could to stay cool. I couldn’t turn the air conditioner back on until after the sun was at a much lower point in the sky. It’s really unfortunate, because I don’t remember temperatures this hot when I was a kid. I don’t know what kind of scorching temperatures my children are going to face when they are my age and global warming is an even bigger problem.

The generator will run the AC only

My family and I live down south.

Sometimes it is difficult to live down here where there are a lot of summer storms and hurricanes.

Summer storms are never a problem until there is the warning of an impending hurricane. Hurricanes can do a great deal of damage to houses and structures. I’ve seen a number of houses completely gutted and demolished because of flooding that came from a tropical storm. I had to invest in a generator last year. I haven’t had any reason to buy a generator but last year we didn’t have power for 7 days and it was absolutely necessary. It was hard to sleep and I still had to go to work. The kids were miserable too. I went to the store to look at a couple of generators. I knew that I was not going to be able to afford anything that was going to power the whole house. I specifically looked for a generator that would run the heating and AC unit. If the AC was running, the kids would be a lot cooler and everyone would be more comfortable at night. The generator will run the AC, the refrigerator, and two six-way strips that we can use for electronics. We can’t add anything else to the generator or there won’t be enough power to run the AC. We make do with the few things that we have when summer storms knock out the power. We hope and pray each season that we won’t face anything that takes our home or our lives.

The chocolate in the cupboard was totally melted

When it is time for Easter, I stock up on all of the things that I need for baking.

  • I make a lot of Easter candy that has some element of chocolate.

When I buy supplies for Easter, I purchase around 20 lb of chocolate bar. I purchased peppermint flavored, white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and a semi sweet blend. A few weeks before Easter, many of these items were on sale. I went to the supermarket and purchased everything that I needed. I planned to take care of some of the baking on the weekend when I did not have to work. I had all of the supplies that I needed carefully placed in the cupboard above the oven. I worked hard on Monday and Tuesday and the boss let me go home early on wednesday. I was going to start some of the early baking, but I came home to a serious problem instead. There was no AC in the house at all. It was 82 degrees outside and it felt like the AC had been off all day. All of the chocolate in the cupboard was totally melted. I couldn’t understand what was wrong with the ac. I tried a few different troubleshooting steps but nothing fixed the problem. I ended up contacting a professional repair service. The repairman did not arrive until 90 minutes later. I tried to salvage as much of the chocolate as possible, but there was no way for me to shape or form the pieces back into anything that resembled a square.

I felt very little air flow on the plane

My sister and I went on a vacation together last month.

Both of us went down south to go to a place where we can swim with dolphins and snorkel on the reef.

It was my first time going to a tropical destination, but my sister had been there a few times in the past. We had an amazing time while we were there. We went on a couple of different day trips. We did swim with dolphins and we had a lot of fun swimming on the reef. We had an instructor with us, just in case there were any sharks in the area. On the last day of our trip, both of us wish we had gone for 7 days instead of 5. We had separate plane rides back to our destinations, because we don’t live in the same city. My sister’s flight left about an hour before mine. My flight left on time, which was a surprise. The flight there was delayed by 2 hours. My seat on the way home was near the window. I was happy to be near the window until we started moving. There was very little air flow at all and I could not get the air vent to adjust in my direction. I tried to move it a couple of different times, but the air vent seemed to be stuck in one position. I couldn’t feel the air conditioning at all and it was not very helpful for someone with motion sickness. I got up a couple of times to use the bathroom, because I was not feeling very well. I also tried to get the flight attendant to move me to a different seat.
