There and Back, #7

woo-hooo! the furnace guy just left...ouch on the bill, ouch ouch ouch. but the good thing is that he checked out the a/c and fixed it for me.

here is the funny part. he went outside to check out the unit and came back in 5 minutes later, asking me if someone liked to play with electricity around here. now, my father occasionally will fuss with this or that, but nothing a/c related. and H is petrified of electrical work...won't even change a lighting fixture. so I just looked a little vacantly at him and said maybe my H (why not hang him out to dry?). then I thought about it and realized that a few weeks ago, we had that problem with our electricity, and when H came over, he took a walk around the house.

turns out, this a/c unit had some part of it pulled out and put back wrong, just kind of jammed in. the guy fixed it and didn't charge me for even the diagnostic charge they normally do. so that is the silver lining.

I called H to tell him the news and in no way did I accuse him about messing with the unit outside. that's when he got quiet and said, "oh I think I did that." lol. yes, dimwit, you did.

hey, he just took responsibility for an action of his! how 'bout that? progress, I tell you, progress.

anyway, I have cool air for the next couple of days, and then, after writing a rather hefty check next week, will have heat for the winter.
