Blathering Along

I thought it was interesting that here were two articles side-by-side one on the dangers of speeding in the Valley of the Smudge and the other on the test run for the Open-wheel car race through the streets of downtown Phoenix. Between that and NASCAR out at the PIR you know you are just encouraging Joe Cactushead to try his driving skill on the mean streets of Phoenix.

Good Bye El Nino

Do you miss him? I think we’re going to as it is already up in the 80’s. El Nino had a dampening affect on our summer temps, now not so much. Worse yet if the La Nina some meteorologists are predicting starts up. If it does, it might be a good time to move inland.

Running hot and cold

I suspect that over the weekend Tiny House was hit by a power surge, setting off the smoke detectors and, as we discovered last night stalling the compressor on our fridge. Fortunately, like him or not, Bob Vila came to the rescue. He is still whoring for Sears; where we bought the fridge and on his website, he recommended unplugging the appliance for 10 -15 minutes and then plugging it back in. That gives the compressor enough downtime to reset. It saved me from investing in a new icebox so hats off to Bob.

Note: I may have spoken to soon - damn you Bob Vila!!!! Looks as though Frosty has one caster in the scrap yard. I will be going out to look for a new fridge vice "visiting" tonight. I am not being an asshole or anything, I will be by to visit you all as soon as things cool down -literally.
