New AC Unit is broken down...

My wife and I just replaced our AC unit in August. It was brand new and professionally installed. She flipped it on for the first time yesterday and it is now down for the count again. The fan on the unit is out. The compressor runs but evidently the fan is out. The really crappy thing is that this is EXACTLY what killed our last unit. Now, thanks to this hi jinx we may have to cancel our plans this week and deal with this instead. I really thought that after putting in a whole new unit, that we would not have to deal with the air conditioner anymore while we were in this house. We are only planning on staying in this house for another year or two so I really hate to throw any money at the house unless I absolutely have to. The upside to the whole thing is that the unit is still under warranty and so HOPEFULLY no money will have to change hands. I am skeptical though.

No Flint Hills Stampede for me

It seems like every year something comes up and 2012 is going to be the same. I have to be at the International Food Technology Show in Las Vegas for work when the Flint Hills Stampede is going on. I even had my registration form filled out before I realized that I was not going to be able to attend. Some year though....

Packed and Ready For Oklahoma...

I have the bike up in the pick-up and everything out ready to go! All I have to do is go to work tomorrow and then the fun begins!! It is going to be a great weekend! Seeing the family and exploring the national forest is going to be awesome!!


This is my proposed route of exploration while I am there. It may have to be adjusted though because of all the rain that they have had these last few days. There is a decent chance of rain tomorrow while I am riding too so I may stick to the "easy" stuff since it will still be extremely muddy out.
