Got the a/c fixed on my truck finally. Turns out the expansion tube was plugged. Almost 100% blocked. Wasn't metal filings so it wasn't from the pump. Looked like dirt almost but shouldn't have been that really so not sure what it was. I blew the lines out that I could easily and then added a little oil and had the freon recharged and blowing cold once again!

God morning MN!

I voted yesterday and it paid off. Soyka moves on in the election process! Whoop, whoop!

Got out the grass cut yesterday but wondering if that was a mistake. Looks really dry so I hope it doesn't burn out. We need rain!!!

Nice fix on the A/C Troy! Gotta have it in the dog days summer.

Drinking already this morning Cory?

Good morning guys. Made it about a mile down I-94 out of Rogers this morning before sitting there for about 45-60 minutes. Then got turned around and decided to just work from home. Nice 1-1/2 hour commute to just end up back at home. LOL

Serious 12 car or so accident on the freeway. Not good.

Good morning Cory and Jay!

Yeah Cory may have had a cocktail or two this morning before typing that up. Haha

I wouldn't mind the grass slowing down a little. Mowing every 5 days is getting old.

Well that is not good Jay! Sounds like a pretty serious pileup.

The "semi" was the DSG truck I am sure. That is one of the electrical distributors we work with every day.
