Thoughts on the Day

  • Never make your solutions so brilliant that it takes someone smarter than you to unwind them.
  • Good – Changing out the filter on your air conditioning unit the first Saturday of the month as regularly as clockwork.
  • Bad – Noticing a whining sound coming from the blower motor while you are changing out said filter.
  • Worse – The noise gets worse as the day goes on.
  • Worst – Your mind dances with the cost of a new blower motor when the repairman inevitably finds that the bearings are shot.
  • Outstanding – Honest repairman reaching into the access panel on the air conditioner, removing the electrical schematic that has come unglued from the panel and lodged itself in your motor, thereby removing the loud whining.
    • I tipped heavily and paid him to clean out the outside unit while he was here.  It was still a lot less expensive than replacing that motor.
  • First pickles of the season are in the jars.
    • I started out with Thai chili garlic dills.  My jalapenos won’t be ready for a couple more weeks.
  • I’m not sure what the heck was going on in the dinosaur show I watched with Boo tonight, but a young plant eater ate some red mushrooms, tripped his butt off, and ended up fighting off  a couple of meat eaters while freaking out.
    • I guess just saying “no” wasn’t cool 80 million years ago.

      Yeah, I’ve had good luck with service people. It helps that my neighbor has been using the same companies for decades and recommends people that he trusts to me.
