I donā€™t watch PBS news but I do like watching their cooking and animal shows from time to time. Listening to the same ol climate shit doom n gloom gets old. Anymore I just tune it out cus it really doesnā€™t matter what I do on an individual level so thereā€™s no point in even listening to that crap. Thatā€™s where the cooking and animal shows come inšŸ˜
The photography is usually top notch, so I'll watch anyway or turn the sound down. I like Oregon field guide and they'll substitute Outdoor Idaho.... Both are great shows. I don't see them as politicized nearly as much.
 
Cleaned up, took trash out, brought cat food and cat litter in, cleaned litterboxes, called AC people and took awhile to get through. They were going to come out today but ended up not having time and called to apologize. Said they will try to come in the morning.

Took toilet jack over to friend's house. He misplaced the lever for it so need to find a new one. It seems some of the protective stuff on it (to protect the toilet from getting scratched) came off it while in his care as well. He'd borrowed it for a long time. It was too dark for me to grab the showerhead thingy. If its still there. His mother may have taken it bc she doesn't respect boundaries.

Kelebrimbor charged up to me. He had oil on him or something so I gave him a bath. He didn't like it but he was super cuddly afterward. He chased me to the truck again so friend had to put food out for him again.

It's been 86 in the house all day with 61% humidity. 84 outside with 64% humidity. Ugh. I am a ball of sweat.
 
Let her.... accidently, look over you shoulder to see you looking at jewelry a few times. A week later, bring up towers again.
Does psychology work on psychologists šŸ¤”

Jewelry isnā€™t really our thing. I did buy her a ring once but other than that I think I lucked out cus jewelry is expensive.

The FIL gave me some great advice years ago. He was telling me when he wants something he starts to plant the seed in his wifeā€™s ear a few months ahead of time. I do that now and that shit works, except for on a tower. Sheā€™s never going to be the one to buy me a tower. Lol.
 
I added on to my steam box so I could work with longer pieces. Here is how far Iā€™ve gotten today. This stuff follows pretty nicely. I think Iā€™ll get another two rows (6ā€) up today then Iā€™ll let it sit until tomorrow before I remove the clamps.

I'm not without compassion. She absolutely needs an award... NO, not a Darwin. Something shiny and fake like the Some People's Choice Award. šŸ˜
Sheā€™s on the spectrum, and high functioning. Once sheā€™s keen in on something, itā€™s virtually impossible to let it go, and were all that invested climate change interest takes her, is to a place of inevitable destruction of Earthā€™s environment. Is her enhanced brain the canary in the coal mine or just mental illness ? The jury is still out

Now for her, she probably wishes she had more ignorance, because it provides bliss.
I wonder what her Spectrum opinion is about that documentary

Well, after spending over $700 yesterday to try to fix AC-- getting 6lbs of refrigerant put in-- it all blew out in about an hour and never cooled. It's technically outside the service range for the installer. They can't get replacement parts for the unit, can't get a direct replacement unit, won't do a full replacement of both air handler and condenser unit so my options are to find someone who can do the air handler that matches. Something about Trane discontinuing models that don't use the new EPA approved refrigerants and so forth. Place that was recommended that could get the air handles won't service my area. Landline kept dropping calls for some reason.
Called 10 different places and finally got one that wasn't commercial only, actually sold to customers, would install in my area, didn't just have an answering machine or answering service, and actually called back after getting some more info. So, a dude is on his way out for an estimate.

Meanwhile I swept up kitchen and hallway, cleaned litterboxes. put down carpet powder, sprayed febreeze, change Mom's insulin cartridge, and am sweating my butt off. It got up to 88 yesterday and won't go below 84 inside. It's currently over 90% humidity outside, raining, but in the 70s. It's still in the 80s inside with 63% humidity.
 
The estimate for just the air handle (which can be replaced without replacing the condenser) was more than it cost to install a condenser and air handler back in 2010. But it will come with a 10yr parts and labor warranty, surge protector, 11lbs of refrigerant, and an air purifier. They will be out in the morning to install.
