So I was at a customers today and went back to my truck to total up her bill. I had to park in her driveway, which appears to be on a 45 degree angle. Normally, when I open my door, I know just how far back to stand based on where my hand is. I did the same thing this time. However, I did not account for the difference in angles. I slammed the corner of my truck door into the left side of my head. It almost knocked me on the ground. I said a few bad words. I sat down for a second, and took a look at my head. I now have a 1\/4″ long gash in my head. Luckily, I keep band-aids and Neosporin in my truck, so I slapped some on, and I was good to go. I am however on my third band-aid. I’m not sure if it needs stitches or not, but… eh. Funny thing is, it is right above my old scar on my eyebrow.<\/p>\n
On my way to yet another customers (I had seven appointments today I think), I was following behind a truck that said “Hickman’s Small Engines” or something to that affect. This reminded me of the generator that I have acquired (a hand-me-down). This particular generator has powered many-a-house. It does however need a tune-up. I have neither the time, the parts, nor the patience to work on it myself, so I called him up to schedule a time. I asked what he had available, and he said “How about August?” I know how he feels. He had to fiddle with his calendar just like me when I am driving (not really, I would never<\/em> do that *cough*). Of course, if he is this busy, it either means he is really good, or really bad and keeps going back. So I have an appointment in two weeks (his first available), and we shall see how it goes.<\/p>\n And lastly, I got home today, only to find out that my fan wasn’t working again on my air conditioner. It’s been flaky lately, and doesn’t want to start up. So I ripped apart my air conditioner as Danielle and her children were coming over for dinner, and I don’t think any of us wanted to sit in 85 degrees. I discovered that the fan never even gets power. So it appears to be the relay. Probably a $30 part. Of course, it’s still freakin’ 85 degrees in my house, and I needed something now. So I checked the fan, and it appears that it would get 110V as opposed to 220V. So I grabbed an extension cord, cut up an old power cord for a computer, put some ends on it, snapped it to the fan, and plugged it in. The fan started up. Woot woot! I covered it up, and we proceeded to eat dinner in much cooler air. I did of course unplug it when I left, as the cable is pretty thin. I will consider hooking it inside the A\/C unit itself so that the fan just runs all the time (as it has been for several weeks), until I have time and money to have someone actually come out and check the relays. When Danielle had seen what I had done, she commented, “You really are like MacGyver.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I was at a customers today and went back to my truck to total up her bill.
