I have about 8 tons of air conditioner for my house. I doubt it produces one bucket of water in 24 hours.


That's because there is no humidity in Las Vegas. There is no water in the air to condense.

Exactly. That is why air conditioners struggle to work here.

An air conditioner in Vegas almost has to refrigerate rather than cool the air.

I hate when stuff like this happens.

Was working on my vehicle and had disconnected some harnessing and battery. I get it all back together and test drive it. Gadzooks, the air conditioning is out!
I spend the next 20 minutes trying to figure out what happened and finally notice, I must of pressed against the air conditioning button while working inside!! Gahhhhh!

I hate working on vehicles because I'm no good at. It just doesn't interest me so I do a poor job. Isaac Asimov the famous science and science fiction writer was not mechanically inclined either. He considered his mechanic to be almost a sorcerer that he could do things Isaac Asimov could not do in a hundred years. That's how I feel about good mechanics, I don't know how they do it.

I made a trip to the auto parts store today just so they would change my wiper blades, I already had the blades but refused to even try to put them on.

I love working on cars, and repair and maintain my own.

It's like a real life puzzle that puts both your mind and body to the test.

I would rather be and Isaac Asimov's group then yours..

In the "when nothing is real" department.

How would you like to make a recording of yourself, and then edit the sound recording by just editing the text? You don't have to re-record, but you're now saying something different.

I am installing a banister on the stairs that should have been put in 40 years ago. I was just in the barn sawing the lumber for it. I had forgotten what an awesome workplace the barn is. To have all your tools and everything you need in one place in a large area. Slam bam I was done in no time. 25 years ago I spent every day down here in the summer fixing furniture and refinishing it. I spent very little time down here in the last 15 years, too bad. I still pay the electric bill on the bar every month even though I seldom use it. Must be nostalgia..
