I'm back on my old long book kick. Just started the Count of Monte Cristo

Just finished War and Peace. Took me a good 6 months so I've been itching for my next book.

This week I started Comanches: The history of a People. I've read a few fiction books on the tribe but am excited to learn more about them.

For automotive repair the 3 best resources I've found are youtube, buying a Haynes repair manual, and the ALLDATA website. Youtube has videos for doing most things on your car/truck, a Haynes repair manual walks you through a ton of basic to advanced procedures (it pays for itself), and repair shops use ALLDATA. It's more advanced and a bit less intuitive but a great resource. I get it free through my local library which is great too!

The library: It's nothing sexy but I've always had luck going to the library and grabbing all of the books off the shelf on the subject I'm learning. I then sit at a table and quickly scan through the stack. After finding the ones that seem the most valuable of the lot I take those home and work through them. I was lucky to live in a major city so my library had a ton of content.

To throw another recommendation into the mix: Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Currently my favorite book and could certainly take a year to read

I tried the audio book on a road trip. Heard all of the great things about it so I downloaded it. Took me over and hour to figure out it's fiction and not nonfiction. I listened to about 2 hours and it wasn't bad but I didn't get pulled in like everyone else seems to have been. It's one of those books I feel like I should finish but just don't have the interest to.

Yep foil tape works but id say mastic is the right way. A tub will be more than you need, they also sell it in caulk tubes which should be cheaper. Just use any extra on your other junctions too. Hit the ones nearest to your unit which is where your static pressure will be freatest.

Cool I'll have to try this!

This was the best book I ever read. I like long books though so I was fine having it take a while. The length made it feel like a new friend by the time I was done with it and was genuinely sad when it ended. I've heard War and Peace is similar so I've started reading that but haven't fallen in love with it like I didn't Les Mis (yet).

I've had on my bucket list to do a short book/long cigar afternoon at some point and I've been saving this book for that afternoon.

Clean energy credit union does modest rate loans. That allows you to get the panels, they foot the up front cost, you get the fed/state/utility incentives and put those towards the loan. That's pretty much your only option other than footing with cash.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this so far: check to make sure the fins on your outside unit are clean.

My parents had this issue when I was visiting. I went outside and looked at their unit and it looked like it was covered in carpet. I took a hose and gently rinsed off all of the dirt and pollen and they were back in action.

Others already covered a lot of good points: make sure it's not froze (it likely is if you've been running for a while and it's not keeping up) and change the filter.

If that doesn't work you likely need refrigerant.
