yes, but he said that is a $40K solution for a mitsubishi. He said no one has bought one from them yet.. I aint got that to spend, so will do $15K for a old school Trane unit, which is still ridiculous in my book.
Sorry about your drummer.
I guess even Tranes have gone sky high. 3 years ago you could get an inverter heat pump trane installed for much less than $10 K.
71, light shower popped up. Going to 90.
Sitting here icing my shoulder. Using AI to "diagnose" the problem and show me some PT stretches.
Had a hot but good hike yesterday so Della could take a swim. Then made a diesel run and mowed for 2.5 hours...grass never fully dried due to a week of rain and high humidity.
Ron, sorry about the smoke. There has also been 2 big wildfires north of the Grand Canyon...AZ closed the only highway into the North Rim and across northern AZ. My wife and I spent some time there and hiked the Canyon from the North Rim, so we have been following. There is an Arizona Trail thru-hiker at the bottom heading north to meet her mom and baby as this unfolded...waiting to hear an update.
Hope your shoulder problem subsides. I have dull shoulder pain and can hear things poppin just working out with 8lb bar bells in each hand. My shoulders were destroyed by a Ciproflaxin related antibiotic about 8 years ago. I read that the damage is permanent, but my shoulders have come back to maybe 75% thank the Lord.

Wonder what Popgadget has to say about these? Wonder if it would work in my double wide MH? I have a downdraft ducted system.
About 30 years ago, I had a buddy who lived nearby that was an HVAC salesman, he knew all about systems and how to use different parameters to figure out the size of unit a home needed. (He told me on the side, that after all the calculations, "Most normal homes need an average of 1 ton per 500 square feet.") While my home has 6" outside perimeter walls and suppossedly corresponding insulation, it still takes my 4 ton unit running constantly from around 3pm to 9pm on a hot summer day to hold 78F. My electric bills are near $350 in the summer, and with strip heat coils (only source of heat besides the old school fireplace) the dead of winter is not much cheaper on electricity. My old Trane is about 12 or 13 SEER. Because of how long my current unit has to run, I would consider going up to 5 ton. Home is about 2150 sq ft. I'm thinking a unit like this could save me a bit every month. Just wondering about how much?
Popgadget, prayers for your drummer friend and family. Doesn't sound like he has much time left. If it were me, and the docs told my wife there was no hope, I'd hope she would put a DNR on me.
We got a storm today, and the Texas Hill Country got another big rain. Not sure how much the Guadalupe is flowing, but the other rivers just north of it are flowing like crazy. We got an inch, but the Hill country got anywhere from 3-9" depending on where the gage is.
Really sad stories coming out of the flooding situation. Still so many more unaccounted for. I hope today's flood doesn't cover up the holes that they've been digging to look for victims. I saw a 1/2 ton truck on it's side, completely covered in river rock with only the sides of the tires barely exposed.
newbury, hope the Generals take note and not look for high priced drones. They could find themselves front and centered in the Sec Def's office if they don't fall in line.
Phil, beautiful wood work as always.
Ron, how is your walk form going? Do the goldfish freeze the whole winter long?
gstrom, nice old truck project. My uncle had one of those that I got to ride in quite a bit as a kid.
Thomas, a lot of splitting there. Put feet up soon.
I'm fighting a stubborn stuck PTO shaft that won't telescope. I actually chained it to a tree trunk and yanked on it with the 7000lb tractor. No luck. Decided to put some of the old transmission fluid I just changed out on it to let it start seeping inbetween the tubes. Capillary action is one of the strongest forces there is, I've been told by an engineer. Need to go dribble some more on it. Then, I will try to collapse it first to break the static rust, then hopefully pull it apart, de rust it and grease it. Guys, grease your PTO shafts so you don't have to deal with this. I bought this off an auction many years ago, and it was stuck then.
Ken, I wish I lived nearer to you guys up there. I'd have pulled a Dew Drop Inn on y'all for the party.
Scary AI situation, where they copied the Secretary of State's voice and were sending it somewhere....
Prayers for Bupps and Holly, Ted and Dona, Those that have lost loved ones. any others that are hurting.
Ron and Don, my mom treated us to the Paige Roadhouse after church today. I remember when Ron and Betty were down and we met there for a really nice evening. Good Memories.
