Eyes to See, Ears to Hear

Just sitting in the guest house room right now.  I’m piddling on the computer and Dana’s doing some cross stitch stuff.  We’ve got a lot of time to kill today but we planned to just stay here and rest as much as possible before our 30-hour trip home… that starts at stinkin’ midnight tonight.

As we were going to bed our first night here, we noticed the room was warmer than it had been during the day without either of us changing anything on the air conditioner.  So, I took the front panel off of the A/C window unit (not hard, only one screw holding it on) with optimism hoping I could find a problem to fix… then be able to fix it.  Sure ’nuff the entire radiator thingy-majigger was completely frosted over.  Not an A/C expert but that didn’t look right to me.  Pulled out my trusty Buck pocket knife, scraped a ton of frost off, and cranked it back up.  Instead of freezing back over again, turning it on made it thaw the rest of the way out.  Success and coolness… great 1-2 punch.

This morning, we woke up to no electricity.  Not good for a full day in the room in the Dar heat and humidity.  But, it came back on before the temp reached 80 in the room.  Yippee… until just now… out again.  We were chillin at 71 degrees 30-minutes ago.  Already 76 now and that’s inside the room.  I looked on weather.com and it is 90 outside but feels like 97 because of the humidity.  Might try to take a nap now… will probably dream about sweating…
