Default A/C......

OK so Carrie and I go to an open show at Cypress Gardens today. It was hotter then maybe two and a half hells. Made Venice seem not too bad. So far so good right? Then they give out awards and we go home. I can hear an Ice House calling me all the way from my frig. It's ok, cool is just a couple of miles down the road.

Get home, park "Goldie" in the garage, engage the Ice House properly (that's with my bare feet up and no shirt on like a true Florida boy) turn on NASCAR and start to cool off when............. from the garage comes a sound of a bursting hose and the attached hiss. Being the truly intelligent guy I obviously am, I did nothing until no more sounds emanated from the garage.

Well then with my Ice House properly in hand I go "check it out". A close inspection reveals A/C oil blown out in that area under the motor on the floor. My vast investigative experience lead me to belive that if it was on the floor it probably came from above that (I'm tellin you I R 'specienced).

As I look up I see an A/C hose from the back block of the compressor going down blown out the bottom side . Ya know who needs freon, or A/C oil or comfort and it is my duty to support the A/C repair trade so guess what I'm doin tomorrow?

Ken, ain't life grand?

I can see you guys are ASC certified mechanics (particullary Mark). That must stand for All (around) Sentational Characters. I could never do it without you.

Ya'll are great. I will sub-divide the repair bill by four and send each a portion to be dellt with appropriately. Just for clairfication I'll take care of my 1/4 of the bill.

Hey Joe, I needa a little help here!

Ya'll are super, please don't quit.

Ken
