Accounted for!

I’m very sorry for your loss. This really hit my heart this morning while reading it.
I’m extremely blessed to have neighbours like you Lonnie. My wife and I have lived next door to two of the most loving people on Gods green earth for 34 years.
They’re both in their upper 70’s and in frail health. We know our time with them on this side of heaven is short and reading this has me in tears.
I’m praying for the peace of God to rest on his wife and children.
Lonnie, I’m praying for you, your family and those in the surrounding area to be all that his wife will need in the days ahead. That’s how expressing the love of Christ is demonstrated!
I hope everyone reading this has what you and I have experienced. Knowing and loving great neighbours!
May the Lord grant everyone mercy and grace today!

The HVAC industry has lost its way. The markup on their services is just a lot to take in as a homeowner.
I’ve been in the field for 40 years and wonder how some middle class folks are paying for system changeouts. It’s crazy what they charge.
I say this because I’ve been in it from residential, commercial and for the last 30 year’s industrial.
Just an example from experience. I changed out my whole system from 22 to 410A a year and half ago.

I bought the equipment, new line set and upgraded my duct work for just under $4500. That includes the $1500 I paid a duct man to rough the heater and coil in upstairs as well as running a new line set.

Im not sure Mr. Hutton would like to disclose what he would charge for a 3.5 ton changeout nor would I press him to.
But I would guess another 3-4 grand on top of my 4500.

Here’s my recommendation to the DIYers. Buy you a good digital volt/ ohm meter that reads AC/DC volts, and microfarads..uf
Use YouTube to teach how to read voltage and microfarads.
When you take a capacitor off check the microfarads before you buy a new one. You’ll be able to determine if the capacitor or the motor is bad.

I don’t suggest getting into deep water while troubleshooting but you’re doggone right you should be able to checkout a capacitor and buy a new one if needed.

Just my two pennies.

DJT wasn’t given an opportunity to govern with the freedom BHO was given.
From the moment he took office he was having to fight for this country with essentially one hand tied behind his back.
Attack after attack, fake BS was created to obstruct his term in office.
For that I’ll vote for him again and yes, I hope he goes scorched earth on those traitors should he win 2024.

Jumping in here:
Abita, the wife and I are looking to fly into Boston Labor day weekend, a Thursday to Monday.

We want to to do the touristy stuff, Freedom Trail,
Local food and drink. What's your recommendations for the area to book a hotel in? We don't want to get a rental car.

Thank you in advance!!

Everything I've read on forums says it's a bullet proof motor. Especially the 3.0!
A outboard mechanic who was used to service the engine didn't have favorable things to say about the motor and suggested re-powering.

He said it wasn't a matter of if but when the motor was going to fail.

Just a bit confused by the contradictions.......I reached out to this board in hope of finding someone who's owned one and had some comments...good or bad.

Thanks!

A bunch of wisdom in this statement!! I'm 57 and have been playing recreation sports (flag football, basketball, golf etc..) since I was 18. Both ankles are shot and the back is easily tweeked. No more golf basketball or for sure flag football (shut that down at 40).
5 years ago I picked up tennis and it's been the best sport to keep me active and still somewhat competing. I highly suggest it to anyone like myself who can't let go of playing pick-up games!
The ankles are sore and stiff afterwards....but no more sprains!!

My two pennies worth!

I'm in......done with the NFL and college football.

That would have been Woo Daves using a zebco to skip a bait under a dock.
I watched the same clip on TV.

Looking to do a weekend trip sometime in March with the wife to relax and play some tennis.

I’ve never stayed at a resort. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Budget is not a problem just want a good experience and enjoy the weekend.
Thank you in advance!
