That’s gotta be it.

I’m mowing the lawn yesterday and pass the air conditioning compressors. I thought to myself, “I bet they’ve never been cleaned.” So I stopped the mower by the “compost” pile so I’d remember to empty the bag and head to the garage to grab a wrench and Simple Green.

“Wow, it’s hot out here.”

Beer thirty and chug some water. I remember way back when I rode (yeah, it’s been sometime hasn’t it?) that I’d swig water constantly. There’s no reason I can’t do that while working in the yard in the heat. Shit. Might as well pop some electrolytes while I’m at it. Gotta have some potassium.

Oh. I’m supposed to clean the compressor. Turn off the thermostat, cut the power, spray SG and rinse until I don’t see anymore bubbles. Sweet. I bet it’s getting hot in the house. Cut the power ON, pop the thermostat and we’ve got cool air. Did it help? Sure. A little.

Dang. That backyard isn’t mowed yet? Empty the bag, finish the yard. Empty the bag, park the mower.

What’s next? Hmmmm. Brown grass. I think I’ve got a rack and seed and fertilizer in the garage. If I focus hard enough, I won’t find another “project” on the way back to the yard.

Geez.
