AC done …almost
So the AC contractors came back yesterday to finish up. They did the remaining work in the attic, installed a second return in our bedroom and replaced all of the vent grills in the house, except one. They miscounted how many they needed.
The second return in our bedroom is not in a great spot. Because of the layout of the equipment in the garage, the return location had to be low on the wall, behind one of our dressers. Of course this is going to make changing that filter a rather large pain in the rear. Our options are to rearrange the furniture somehow or just keep some furniture sliders under that dresser permanently to make movement easier.
The new vent grills are a nice addition. They allow me to direct cold air downward into the living space instead of along the ceiling. The air flow in the rooms farthest away from the AC equipment that used to have just a trickle of cold air is much improved now.
Last night I also moved everything back in the garage and set up the new high tech thermostat to use a schedule which was not very intuitive. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the manual.
All in all Ali and I are very pleased with the new system. It’s quiet, works well and should last me well into old fartdom.
Did you hear about all this bullshit about Jets players paying attention to a hot Mexican reporter? Evidently she was at Jets practice and some of the players took notice of her. The reporter evidently just commented about the attention on twitter, not even complaining about it, just mentioning it.
Well somehow this mushroomed into all sorts of ridiculous bullshit. Now they want Jets players to undergo “sensitivity training” and the league sent out a memo to all 32 teams to remind them to be nice.
Cut me a f’ing break. A hot female reporter goes into a football practice and all of a sudden the world is outraged that the players paid attention to her? I mean really, it is ridiculous. Let’s funnel some of that wasted energy being outraged over something that matters. Idiots.
