Good morning Nevada, garage day for me!


Craig, doing much better, thanks! What’s going on with your eye, I must have missed that?

Good Afternoon Pat.

Glad you are feeling better.

Last week my retina detached. I went into surgery Sunday nite. Two & a half hours later it was reattached. I'm in for a long recovery. Thank God it was my weak eye. My good eye is still 20/25. But the vision in the weak eye is very blurry & I tire easy. The doctor said the vision would clear but they use a gas to repair & it has to dissipate & that takes at least two weeks or more. I see the doctor next Friday & I might know more. This has been a stressful, scary situation. But I'll get through it. Thank God I'm alive & in fairly good health still.

Morning everyone.

Today instead of heading out to the mountains for some wheeling, I get to sit in a hot house with no AC. It went out last night and we are supposed to be in 104-112 temps all week. I am waiting for the property management company to get back to me. I wish they would stop bandaiding this unit and replace it. This is the 3rd time this season they will have been out to fix it.

Afternoon Greg & Gang.

Wow Greg that doesn't sound like fun. I would be pissed off. We are hot 300 miles north of you mid to high 90s maybe 100. This has been the hottest summer I can remember up here. Wonder what winter will bring?

I know the feeling Greg. The AC went out in my car just last week, and now I don't want to drive it until I get it fixed, but obviously, that will not work. So I try to get all my errands done early in the morning now.

Morning everyone.

We still have yet to hear from the people the PM company called to service our out AC.
This is ridiculous.

Morning Jim, Greg, and the rest of the NV crew! That's ridiculous, Greg. At some point, they're going to have to just replace it. Wonder how old the unit is?

Not sure, but of all the ones on the block it seems to be the oldest.

I just heard from the repair guys, they are on the way. We shall see what they say.

Hopefully they can hook you up. We lost power at the house Friday for 7 hours. Luckily, it was only 80 degrees out, so the house didn't get hot. Screwed me out of an entire day of working on the truck, though.

OK, we have AC again. It blew out the control relays AGAIN!
They really need to replace it, but as long as the relays get it going again they won't.

Well, at least they have it back up. There's another problem if it's trashing relays.

I know it and so do they.

Now that the house is cooled off, I think I will go try and get a nap in.
I haven't really slept since last week.
