I didn’t get jack shit from the knuckle heads in Cary, NC.

Good News:
The wife is flying back to the US tomorrow!! She’s been away in Jolly Ole’ for the past 3 weeks. :eek3: I sure do miss her!

Bad News:
As of 3 hours ago (give or take) I still had not cleaned up the house. I’d done a bit, but the job wasn’t finished. I had already kicked the hookers out, took all the beer cans & bottles to the recycling joint, and returned the 4 kegs to get my deposit back. I kid… there were no kegs.

Anyway, I get home from work today and start straightening up the first floor rooms (I kept them quite nice anyway cause you can see ‘em from the street) and run upstairs to get the vacuum. HOLY HELL. The upstairs A/C was out Again. Must have been in the high 80′s because it was at least 90 outside. Yes 90. We had close to a record breaking day in the weather department here in Chucktown. So, I call the M-i-L, cause she’s picking my Redheaded-Sweetpea up at the airport tomorrow afternoon, to have my Dearest call me when she arrives in CLT. She might not want to drive 3 hours home to sleep in a sweaty house. You never know.

Ok. now cleaning the upstairs is on hold. Dammit.

I go outside to check the disconnect on the condenser. The contacts look like one of Hannibal Lecter’s first kills that’s been sitting out in the sun for a while. Ok. That’s easy to fix. Break out the dremel and remove all the corrosion. Slap it back in, still Nada. Ok, maybe the internals are Fubar. No problem. Lowe’s is still open. Jump in the MINI, drive out to Lowe’s. Aw Maaan. Is it a 30 Amp box or a 60 Amp box. Back in the MINI, pull in the drive, hop out, check the panel. 60 Amp. Cool. Back to Lowe’s. Replace the box. It’s now way past dark and I’m getting a tan on one side of my face from the 500 watt halogen work lamp I’ve got 5 inches away. Box is in, power back on… wait for it, wait for iiiiiit….

Not Jack Shit. Pickles.

It’s ok. I’ll sleep on the couch downstairs. Now i just have to finish cleaning up in the sweltering dustbunny ridden area of my house known as The Upstairs.

Clean clean clean. Sweep sweep sweep, spray wipe spray wipe. Done.

Take a break. Get something to eat, why don’t ya. OK.

While I’m sitting down eating a tasty sandwich and watching reruns of the 2007 World Series of Poker (The Main Event), I have a thought.

The Internets Will Help You with the A/C!! Cool Beans! And ya know what? It DID!

Good News:
I Fixded It!! I now have proper cooling coming from my vents! Google is My Freyends.

Cliff Notes for the reading comprehension impared:
1. Wife is coming home from extended overseas business trip.
2. A/C in the house is broken
3. I fixed the A/C.
4. Pickles is a dirty word.

Today the internets showed me a really cool site dedicated to CANDY!!

Man I love candy. Don’t you??? Well, If you don’t you really Should.

The site is called Candy Addict and can be found here or you can click the link in Other Cool Stuff. They’ve got a brilliant candy quiz that has all 26 letters of the alphabet done in candy wrapper croppings. I got 17 out of 26. :yea:

Here’s the Candy Addict Alphabet Quiz How’d you do?

Are you a Yankee or a Dixie??

Yankee or Dixie Dialect Test

According to the test I’m 66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

Ya’ll come back, ya hear!

Currently on the iPod’s playlist:

[Song - Artist (Original Artist)]

Mad World – Gary Jules (Tears for Fears)
Personal Jesus – Johnny Cash (Depeche Mode)
Running Up That Hill – Placebo (Kate Bush)
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Tori Amos (Nirvana)
Smooth Criminal – Alien Ant Farm (Michael Jackson)
Sweet Dreams – Marilyn Manson (Eurythmics)
This Womans Work – Maxwell (Kate Bush)
Word Up – Willis (Cameo)

Kind of heavy in the ’80s, no? Wonder why. :hehe:

That’s all I did last night on the playlist. Was up ’till 2 surfing music on The Internets. Haven’t really gone through my own library. I stopped when I noticed lots of blue flashing lights outside… Some dude got seriously pulled over for “Speeding” by at least 4 patrol cars. I’ve got some video, but it is quite dark. I’ll see what I can do about cleaning it up and posting it.

Any suggestions for additional songs??
