Am not dead yet…

But my air conditioner is…. More on that in a minute.

I had a great birthday on Saturday, I took my family to a baseball game. It was the first one my boys had ever been to.  We ate hot dogs and cracker jacks, I purchased them some foam fingers, and they had fireworks after the game… it was spectacular.
I love fireworks  ;)
We went to a good friends house for a father’s day cookout. Smoked chicken, ribs, wings, a huge spread for food. It is nice having a core group of long term friends that you can just hang out with, and have no worries about some of the petty stuff that comes along with more casual friends…
I wish!

So we get home from the party last night and the house is 79 degrees, not good since the thermo stat is set to 74… I call my neighbor over, he rips apart my unit and does some tests... an hour and a half later he says my compressor is going out. So I am home today going to purchase a new AC Unit… YAY!

  2. Sound like a damn good day, would love to go to a live baseball or football game, as for air conditioners, it's freezing over here at the moment and raining.

  5. Oh nothing like that happening right in the middle of summer. Awesome. Hopefully it gets fixed soon and you are back on your way to a cool 74 :)

  6. Sound like your birthday was a great success. Congratulations! Bad news on your AC, but good thing is you can get a better one, just like you did with your grill.

  9. If my wife wore an apron like that and held my beers for me, I'd grill every single day of the year.

    Your birthday was Saturday and Father's Day was yesterday? How screwed are you on presents?

  11. First, Happy Birthday & Father's Day! I pity you on the AC. If that happened here, we'd be checked into a nice hotel, so fast it would make your head spin! Can't make it in my area, without AC. Sorry for the lousy ending to an otherwise great weekend. Hope the new unit is up and running, soon!

  14. Good Afternoon Mr. BigMike:
    Thanks to your inspiration. After following for a few weeks, I have made an appointment today to see my Dr. next Monday to discuss getting a prescription for Chantix. I ashamedly have been smoking for 30 years and I am only 43!
    I am glad you had the courage to share with us your experiences.
    Regards,
