Big Boooommm!
Beside the obvious Amazon ads on this blog, I also have Google ads, two within the blog text, and one large one on the right side. The content of these ads can vary, and are usually different for each reader. I can block ‘questionable’ ads, and I already have blocked some, like Mail Order Russian Brides, Filipino Girlfriends, and Online Gambling.
So if you see any ads that you find objectionable, please let me know and I will block them. Thanks.
On the other hand, if you ARE looking for a Russian Bride or a Filipino girlfriend, let me know and I’ll send you a link.
As I had figured, this morning’s dueling breads was satisfied with a tie. We each had a piece of Miss Terry’s bread and a piece of my Aunt Virginia’s Banana Nut bread with our coffee for breakfast.
The Best of Both Worlds.
Later I went back out in the heat, 92° today, to take another look at my truck AC problem My first test was to use my ohmmeter to check the coil of the compressor clutch, and as I suspected, the coil was open. So that’s the problem. Now what to do about it?
I can replace, and have replaced, the AC clutch on other cars. It’s not really that hard. But I would need some tools I don’t have with me. The advantage is that I wouldn’t have to pull the compressor and replace the Freon.
But, do I want to spend ~ $100 for a new clutch to put on a 10 year old compressor, when for ~ $200 I can get a whole new compressor and clutch. Of course, then I would have to pump out the Freon, replace the compressor, then pull a vacuum on the system, and put Freon back in.
And it’s possible that if the compressor was already starting to fail and seize up, it could have caused the coil to burn out anyway.
Either way it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to do anything about it until we’re back in Houston in a week or so.
Saw a mention today that a female gate guard was run over by a big truck a couple of days ago. Looks like stitches in her head and a broken arm are the lucky (for her) result. Apparently, after talking to the driver, she walked back around the front of the truck and stopped to get his tag number without telling the driver. They can’t see you down there over those big hoods.
I normally get the tag info on the way out to talk to the driver, and then coming back, hold the clipboard over my head until I’m clear.
Glad to hear she wasn’t more seriously injured.

Came across an interesting website the other day.
Ever hear a voice on a commercial and you know it’s someone famous, but you just can’t place it?
Well, check out www.adwhois.com. And they probably know.
.A couple of days ago, I heard a new ad for Gold Peak Ice Tea. I knew the voice was familiar, but I just couldn’t place it.
And it turned out to be Opie Taylor, i.e. Rod Howard.
Check it out.
