I don't do much work of any kind on my vehicles anymore due to me getting less and less mobile. However, back in the day when I was able to get around, I would have had no problem adding a can of freon to the system. As for going back to the AC/Heater repair shop, I have no plans of doing that. The person I plan on taking it to in two weeks will diagnose the problem first, and then fix it, "even if it means putting in a toggle switch with a blue light to let you know it is getting cold" He is a mechanic for a living and does this on the side. I have no qualms about his ability. And he is cheaper than a shop that tells me it is the computer.
He's got a sweet machine that pulls the old refrigerant out and weighs it, then puts in the correct amount. I must have had a very slow leak. It had been over 20 years since it was made and it still had about half of what it should have had in there.

That is what I would do also. Find a shop with the equipment.
A can of refrigerant sounds easy. But you really don't know how much is in the system, how much to add, and you can't measure the high pressure side. And if there's a leak. It should be addressed.

Yes it is getting to be the time of the year where we are concerned about the condition of our AC Systems. I get to pick the Bronco up tomorrow after the T-case swap. It kept jumping into neutral when in 4-High and the shop quoted a $300 difference from fixing the ESOF system and installing a refurbished manual T-case. Duh, I went with the manual T-case, one (or more) less thing to go wrong.
It looks like Jr. and I will be doing an exhaust manifold replacement and oil pan gasket replacement in the near future. It will be additional credit for his ROP Auto class and we won't need the room to set up and do a tear down before installation.
Still at a dead run up here between work, volunteer activities, and hobbies. Half of the time, I go to work to recover from the weekend.
In these days of inflation, my local Albertsons has less expensive cuts of beef on sale. And The Bearded Butchers produced a new video on how to cook it.
Tri-Tip just happens to be one of my favorite pieces of meat.
Tri-tip is a good cut. Good balance of flavor, fat, and texture. Not the softest, but still very easy to chew. Not dry. Not too lean. And it has a robust flavor. Almost like a tender flank or brisket. I am prejudiced since I have been eating it since I was a kid.
We ate a lot of different cuts of beef. The more popular cuts like ribeye and porterhouse are good. Nothing wrong with them. But I still like lesser known steaks like flat iron, Picanha, skirt. And for roast beef, the kind that is thin sliced, bottom round probably works better. The only problem is: who has a deli slicer? I don't know that many people who have a machine like that.
