What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Smile - my air conditioner is fixed and working well
Frown - it cost me a thousand fucking dollars

Ugh, the AC in my car isn't working. It's either a $25 sensor, or a several hundred dollar compressor. I was eager to find out which, but the old sensor broke while trying to remove it. Hopefully it wont be a pain to extract it.

Yeah, unfortunately this was the HVAC in my house. I had to replace the compressor and blend door in my car a few years ago; cost me $500.

The AC in my place crapped out some time ago.

The only good thing about the cold weather we've been having is that I didn't need AC.

Thankfully it's a window unit so I'd imagine it'd be easier to replace than an outdoor unit.

Cheaper, too.

$1053 later....

Mine is also out. I'm hoping it's just low on coolant. I've had the compressor go out before, and it led to issues with engine overheating that I'm not having now. That said, different make and model car too, so who knows.

I was at least able to confirm that it is the AC flow sensor. So now the only trouble will be extracting the broken one so I can fit the new one in.

Ticked: I suppose I'm done mowing today. One of the pto belts broke. The only place locally that may have the correct replacement in stock is closed on Sunday. I'm gonna check tomorrow and see if I can get a new one.

Really sucks because I was about 80% done with all I needed to do.

Last time I mowed the lawn, I forgot to shower and change my clothes afterwards and the hours after going to bed I ended up itchy AF and let's just say that I never mowed the lawn again. Oh, and I was KO'ed by Benadryl for about a day while I recovered.

So I was able to fix the problem. Thank God, because it's suppose to be pretty warm tomorrow. I had to remove a few parts to get better access to where the sensor is. Which included the lower radiator hose, which meant I had to drain the coolant. But doing all of this made me realize that my coolant was low, the overflow tank was bone dry, and that made me realize that I don't think I've ever changed the coolant since I've had the car. With other stuff going on, I didn't have the time or energy to do a good flush. But I at least drained it and refilled it with new coolant. And yeah, I was able to extract the broken sensor and replace it. It was actually easy to get out, once I had the room to get at it. It might be a little waste of money on the coolant, but I figured a drain and refill is better than leaving the old shit. I figure I'll do a proper flush maybe after the summer.

Ugh, I'm kinda getting sick of that. It's getting harder and harder these days to get things locally. The world shifted to ordering everything online. But when you need something TODAY, it's very annoying that shops don't stock as many things anymore.

Yesterday, I wanted to get one of those coolant funnel kits (because refilling coolant without one is very annoying). No Auto Zone, Advance Auto or Wal Mart in my area stocks them in stores. Luckily Harbor Freight stocks them.
