Today was crazy. Got Big Red back, the maintenance turned out to be a lot more expensive than expected, because one of the transmission dipstick tube was broken. At least dirt and dust didn’t get in and wreck the transmission. It is what it is, I’ll take money out of savings and move forward. The air conditioning is nice and cold. It shifts nice and smoothly.
At the same time, work was insane today. But I survived and now it’s the weekend, and I’m enjoying a nice cold glass of orange juice. Next weekend is vacation.

The other day I was bragging about how nice and cold the air conditioning is in my truck. In the hot weather today driving back I noticed I was getting cool air – and after 20 minutes uncomfortably cool air but not frigid at any point of operation like the air should be. I located the R134a recharge port and I need to decide if I’ll go to Walmart buy a recharge tool for $20 and buy some refrigerant or if I should take it to the shop. The air conditioning is working okay but I think it’s underperforming somewhat on these 90 degrees days. My truck is nearly five years old, and the system might just need a recharge to get maximum cold air out of it. I can live with the system now, but I want to ensure the air conditioning continues to work at peak performance.
Still not a lot of rain in the forecast but a chance of thunderstorms and scattered showers that might help all the poor farmers with wilting corn in the V3 stage and with the increasing wild fire risk…

Lost power for an hour or two in Delmar while I was at my parent’s house for our annual Memorial Day BBQ. It unfortunately poured while my dad was working on the grill. The only way I know power was out in Delmar was I heard the refrigerator compressor working non-stop to get things colder, and that the ice I had reforming from the camping trip was only partially frozen when I got home. I kept a gallon of ice in there when I left for camp but the rest of four gallons of the ice came with me and kept my food cold. I make ice in old milk jugs. I use them until they crack (two or three times). Like most things in my cheap, shitty apartment in the suburbs, the frigid is on its last legs.
It was a nice weekend but much too short. Usually I extend my Memorial Day Weekend by a few days but that didn’t happen this year because past Memorial Day Weekends have sucked with black flies, cold and rain. Plus I’ve been busy with work. Spent a lot of time hanging out at camp and tanning in the sun, soaking up the rays and swimming in Grout Pond. Brought my kayak but never used it. Without a Vermont fishing license I didn’t really feel like exploring the pond I had only seen a few years ago. Swimming in the lake, it was pretty cool to watch the schools of yellow perch swim by in the crystal clear water.
I have other thoughts but they’ll wait until tomorrow as I’m tired. Enjoy some of the photos I’ve just posted of the past weekend.
