Good morning folks.

I had a rare opportunity yesterday afternoon to, along with our editor-in-chief, interview via video phone hookup, Donald Trump. We’re talking with Kamala Harris Friday.

We do these interviews every four years and run a cover story on candidates’ views, so this is the third time with Trump.

By agreement with the candidates what they say is close held until October 1, so I can’t share any of that. I will say I wish everybody could experience Trump in that setting. He’s charming, articulate, lucid, and polite. We limit the interviews to direct responses to issues important to people over 50, so it focuses things. I’ll post what he said 10/1 if anyone is interested.

Heading back to DC on the train. I hope it’s a good day for all.

Wear a necklace with cloves of garlic AND a cross around your neck for the next one. May get cackle attacked... (Apologies, I couldn't help myself...)
 
Good morning folks.

A hot day in the east. We had the AC go down a couple days ago, and my wife's reaction was roughly what mine would be if I were on a jet plane that lost a wing at 30,000 feet.

Luckily the guy could come out and fix it yesterday. Unluckily it was a "capacitor" and he charged me $423 for parts and labor. Was it really a capacitor? Who knows. He could have told me it was the "Frammleblaster" and I'd have no way to dispute him. Bottom line, I got home and the house was cold enough to hang meat and my wife was all smiles. Can you pay too much for that?

Hope you guys have a good day.

My house in Summerville had that issue a couple years ago with the other tenants I had. I had the rent so right for them that he charged me for the part. ($60.00) and did the labor. On to now though, they are gone and I have a couple "lawyers" renting from me. My house built in 2015, I put a complete new heat and A/C system in, the year previous I replaced the dishwasher, that year too a garbage disposal and just yesterday I okayed replacing the "springs" in my garage door that set me back $495.00. Oh I wish they offered to buy it. Would take them extra dough for sure....

Ha! Same issue - capacitor - back in early May. First fairly warm day & thought I'd test it before heat set in. Good thing. $298 for 2009 York AC. First repair we've had since instalIation (Replaced our 1986 one.). Me, I thought that was a reasonable price/cost. Next day service.

Don't know much more than you other than tech saying capacitor stores a bit of energy to boost/ease AC's restart after turning itself off & coming back on. He also said government is forcing a new AC coolant, & thus AC systems, on the country that is highly flammable. Coming out in next 1-2 years. Said he thinks he'll retire when that happens. Can't wait.

I've had gd spring break at least twice if not 3X since 1986. We'll see who last longer - current spring or me.
