Of course, that was fine with me because I wanted to go over to her place during the summer so that we could sit in the cool air conditioning instead of being outside in the heat all day

It’s a good thing that air conditioning is just about everywhere these days. I remember back when I was a kid and hardly anyone in my neighborhood had central air conditioning of any kind. Back then, only the rich people in town had access to air conditioning. I actually remember the first time that I went over to a friend’s house who had central air conditioning and I thought that it was the most amazing thing ever. Even though she wanted to go and play outside with our dolls on the swingset, I refused to leave her house because I was enjoying the cold air that was coming out of the air vents in her bedroom too much! She thought that I was really weird after that, but I explained to her that we didn’t have air conditioning like that at my house and then he kind of understood. She never did come over to play at my house, though. Of course, that was fine with me because I wanted to go over to her place during the summer so that we could sit in the cool air conditioning instead of being outside in the heat all day. It was just a good place for me to be during those hot summer days when I was a kid. She probably felt like I used her as a friend just so that I could get inside of her air conditioned house, and she would probably be right. She was nice enough, but I honestly probably wouldn’t have been her friend if she didn’t have A/C back then.

duct sealing

This week at work, I noticed a weird smell coming from the air vents in the building.

• At first I thought that I was imagining it because no one else seemed to notice the smell.

I have a super sensitive sense of smell, though, so that was not really all that unusual. My husband says that I am like a bloodhound because I am always sniffing things out. Well, on Monday whenever I came into the office, I immediately knew that there was something off with the indoor air quality in the building. I was not really sure what it was, but I could tell that there was something going on inside of the ductwork. Every single time that the heating system turned on in the building, I could smell the odor more. That’s how I figured out that it was coming out of the ductwork in the first place. I told the building maintenance director that there was something going on with the HVAC system and he said that he would check into it for me. At first I thought that he was probably just humoring me by saying that, but a couple of hours later, I saw him with two of the maintenance guys in the building with a ladder. They were looking around inside some of the ductwork in the building. Sure enough, they ended up finding mold and mildew in the ductwork! I knew that I had smelled something! They ended up calling the local commercial HVAC company to come and clean the ductwork in the building.

I had to install a furnace in a really creepy house the other day. I don’t usually go out on calls by myself with my job, but on that day, my helper was sick at home instead of with me in my HVAC truck. That was really unfortunate for me, since that day, I had to go to this really creepy place over on the other side of town. The house itself is at the end of a long driveway up on top of a hill. There’s a weird wrought iron fence all along the whole property and it just gives off horror movie vibes from the minute that you look at it. I was definitely not looking forward to going in there all by myself, that’s for sure. I knew that I had to go in there to get their furnace up and running again because it’s still cold around here. Even though it’s spring already, we are still having a cold snap around here where we live. Otherwise, I think I would have just left the place without ever even going inside! But I felt a little bit guilty when I threw the HVAC truck into reverse to leave after I saw the house. I grabbed my stuff, went to the front door, and steeled myself to knock. It turned out that the people who lived in the house were just about as creepy as the house itself! I couldn’t believe that I had to go into that house by myself. I was pretty nervous the whole time that I was in the house. I was afraid that they were going to lock me in the basement or something. I got that furnace fixed up faster than anything I have ever done in my life!

I do so much heating unit repairs and sometimes they send me out in the field to scrub HVAC ducts for customers in their homes

I made a new pal (friend zone) recently and I have been hanging out quite a bit. She is 26 years aged but much more mature than I am at 57 years old. I feel like my mind is stuck at 26 years old too, but somehow she’s still a lot more mature than I am. I am not a goofy joking bozo, but my mind is quite younger than my years for some reason. I try to keep life light and always heating up, and maybe staying at 26 years old in my mind is superb for my body and spirit too. Some of my Heating and A/C tech friends who are my age, and have wives and kids, seem to act a lot older than I am. I think it is because they have so much more responsibilities and have to be grown up most of their days because of work and kids. I’m not sure, but working at the Heating and A/C business is still fun, but I have to work with a bunch of grown up heating professionals. I have a lot of fun at work and I all try to keep it light and fun as much as I can, while still getting all of our work done during the day. I do so much heating unit repairs and sometimes they send me out in the field to scrub HVAC ducts for customers in their homes. I will keep working for this business for several more years and after that I will go into semi retirement and work less.

I just got back to the apartment from the gym, which is an outside gym called the Beach. My neighbor was out there and told me he wants to film my skyball serve, which is a serve that is served vertically into the air to a height of about several stories high. It then comes down into the volleyball court at a high speed. They have an Instagram page for volleyball and they want to put my serve video on the site, which is kind of cool because it is one of my favorite things I enjoy in the games. The local business has many people who watch our games and I get some superb action during the games while the temps are heating up on the beach. This Summer is going to be packed and I will have so much fun playing music on the beaches in the night after the games are done. Today, I’m going to go out there to play in about 60 minutes once I get my Heating and A/C system writing work done for the local supplier in town, who uses my stories to get a better web presence and more customers. I will be at the beach this week by 3.30pm and will stay out there till the sunlight goes down around 9.30pm. I’ll go to my condo which has my air conditioning unit and take a nice overheated shower now that my friend and I finally got our overheated water heating working. I didn’t have a warm shower for about four weeks and now I am back to normal.

I suppose the HEPA filter expert was right when she said that life has a lot of loss and my friend and I need to accept them all, as she was checking the indoor air quality one day while my friend and I were working

Is your life satisfactory, or do you feel like something is missing and you could be happier? I seem to feel the latter more often, as I’m one of those dreamer types of people who is always looking for something better. My wish is I could just be glad with what I have and who I am, but it seems I have been programmed to always keep climbing the mountain in search of better views. Maybe this is an innate thing in people and we are never satisfied with life. The HEPA filter sales lady told me that this is part of life, as we were working on a cooling system set up in someone’s lake house. I think right now the only thing missing in my life would be the love of a beautiful lady like I used to have but lost. I saw her walk by the other day while chilling at a local cafe, and I messaged her but she never replied. This tells me that the Heating and A/C rep beauty is with someone else or isn’t interested in me anymore. My worst nightmare was to lose her and when it happened I spent many sleepless afternoons with tears rolling down my cheeks. I suppose the HEPA filter expert was right when she said that life has a lot of loss and my friend and I need to accept them all, as she was checking the indoor air quality one day while my friend and I were working. I’m still reeling over the loss of Clarice, but one day I’ll accept it.

I’ll pound out some more articles and then head out for some fresh air.

I have a system down with my work and it seems to be working.

I write for about two hours or so in the morning when I wake up and after that I go for a 45 minute bike ride and swim to wake up even more. When I return to the condo I then have just one more hour of work and the rest of my day is free for me to do as I please. I still have some things to do like scrub the HEPA filter in my Heating and A/C system and do my yoga routine, but that’s simple stuff and I don’t mind doing it. I spend some time with my lady playing with the cats in the living room and after that I head out for a ride around the neighborhood to look at people and local businesses. I have a straight-forward life and the only thing missing from it is more time with my family and friends back in the States. I will relocate back in a year or two and work for this local supplier back home for several years doing HVAC duct cleaning and repairs, while I play music at night in clubs and bars and spend time with my family and friends. I’m playing in a band now overseas and can’t leave because we have an amazing chemistry and are making some headway in the music industry over here. My new supplier neighbor here is going to have us do a gig soon for his Heating & A/C business.

I’m down to just about an hour of work left online, but I’m going to cut out of here in about 25 more minutes to take a bike ride.

I like to get most of my work done before the ride though because when I get to the beach my friends will be there and asking me to come join them.

I’ll go for a short ride and rest on a bench to eat my lunch while I watch them play in the sand. Then I’ll go for a short swim and come to the air conditioning in my condo while I finish my work online. If I can hold out for 25 more minutes and keep working after that I will only have about 35 minutes of work left to do after my swim and I can get back down to the beach soon after. It’s getting warmer out there and I will need a big hat and sunscreen if I go out early and leave the shelter of my weather conditions controlled flat. Today is supposed to be about 79F out, which is perfect for playing beach volleyball, but I need to see how my back feels because it’s quite tight now. I’ll turn on my heater and do a long yoga session before I go to the beach to loosen my back up a bit. I also have some Biofreeze gel I can put on to relieve the pain, which seems to work well for sore backs. I also like cooling it down with some ice and then heating it up with an overheated water bottle.

I haven’t always been one to think out of the box. But if I was ever going to get out of my apartment, I had to accept getting creative. That’s just what happened as I joined a group and learned all about ductless heat pumps. The group I joined were some friends that were also so frustrated about not being able to ever come up with enough money for a downpayment on a house. They too were so tired of living in apartments that had crummy residential HVAC, no space and limited privacy. The only way we were going to make our homeownership dreams a reality was to do it together. We learned as much as we could about this concept of owning a house together. And we made sure to protect everyone’s interests by getting it all made legal by bringing in a lawyer. Once that was done, it was as though the perfect house dropped right in our lap. It’s a ranch style home but it kept being added onto. So there are three separate wings off the center of the house. The center of the house now houses a big kitchen and common area. And then we can retreat to our separate living quarters. We learned about ductless heat pumps from the HVAC contractor who came out to replace the central air conditioning. Since the ductwork was shot, we chose to go with the ductless heat pumps. And this has worked out just great as we all have independent heating and cooling control. I’m so thankful to be out of apartment life and actually building equity in this awesome mortgage situation I find myself in.

The Spring in my home region is just marvelous.

I’m always eager to welcome Spring each year because I’m not much of a Winter person.

The Winter is easily my least favorite season. Where I live, we have four seasons that are all just about equal in length. Luckily, we have the heat pump for all of those seasons. The Winter here wouldn’t be described as harsh. But we get our fair share of cold weather with some snow and ice as well. Yet, it’s nothing the residential HVAC in our home can’t handle. Our heat pump does a terrific job of heating our home. I’m glad too that we don’t have the expense of a gas furnace or something like that to deal with. I have yet to experience a cold night that the heat pump didn’t make toasty inside our home. And the heating costs are not out of sight. I love watching the demand for heating wane during March. And now that we are in April, there is no need for heating at all. Actually, I just had the HVAC professional come out to do the air conditioning tune up in preparation for Summer. It won’t be long now until we need to close up the house real tight and leave the thermostat on cooling. Right now though, it’s just perfect outside. The sun is shining and the sky is blue. The flowers are blooming and all the birds are singing like crazy. I actually just saw my first hummingbird of the season just the other day. But before we know it, it’s be time again to count on the heat pump for all that cooling over the Summer months.
