He made it back

Well people, my husband made it back home last night. Yes the brakes work great and I didn't hear him coming from around the corner. No more screeching. That noise was like fingernails on a chalkboard! I'm glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. Now what do we do about the AC? At least we have the weather gods on our side. Luckily the temperatures started dropping right around the same time as our AC broke. It's in the 80s during the day and that's quite a bit more bearable than 105 degrees, which is average for June through August here in the desert. At night it's been very nice and I've been opening the windows for cool fresh air.

JP has found AC condensers online for less than $200 Instead of letting the mechanics charge us $600 for a condenser, I guess he's planning to buy one and see if a local mechanic will put it in. A lot of times mechanics will run AC repair specials when the weather is cool, so hopefully we'll get lucky there. I guess it will work out, I guess things always have. Sucks to have to spend extra money at this time. But then again I just spent $100 for a new cell phone, so things must not be that bad. Well hey, our contract was up for renewal and there was a rebate, so it was like now or never. I have to use this thing for the next 2 years. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Lets just call it an early Christmas present. ;-)
