I tried all the A/C units I have, not a singe one blew cool air. The cheapest I could find anyone to refill one was $100 bucks, for another 75 I can get a brand new one already full of R22...or rather R410

Just looked, my guess was close....Home Depot with my contractors discount $175
Yeah, but not what I planned. I was going to mow about a zillion acres and, if any time leftover, cut a bunch of 45-degree braces to screw into the chicken run vertical 2x4s because that damn horse is tearing it apart. However, I saw Lannie's Kratom bottle was almost empty, so I spent a couple hours stuffing capsules and figured I might as well do my laundry (three loads) while I was sitting in the house,
So about the cheapest A/C you can find is around $175? Wow... But that's not retail. I wonder what Wally World charges...
Prolly less, the prices have come WAY down from when I bought them....perhaps double or more?
Given the bedroom in this tiny house is very very small (unless you have a bunk-bed, don't bother trying to find a place to put your chest of drawers), maybe even less BTUs...
Perhaps, yes. I don't believe I've seen one smaller, but I'm sure they exist.
And only $114 at Sears. Hmmmm... maybe if I can cool Lannie down a bit, she won't be kicking the animals off the bed. 
Gee Dale, when I'm working on shit, it is never in the garage,
Wish I was in the same Dilemma....Gee Dale, when I'm working on shit, it is never in the garage,
Yeah, but you probably buy quality merchandise. Those of us who shop at Walmart have to live with cheap Chinese junk.
Nothing great, just Chinese junk
Isn't it a sad statement that the good old USofA is reduced to imported crap? Is nothing made in this country anymore? Seems that quality and workmanship and pride in our creations has long gone down the river.
But be careful about the lie of "organic" these days. FDA changed the definition so crap can be sold as organic that really isn't.I shop at walmart too, they have organic veggies and fruit now.....it's the newest rage.....
LONG GONE is RIGHT.
I need to hit the hay.... going to try and beat the sun tomorrow
Yeah, it's after midnight here and I'm turning into a pumpkin, so I'm gonna snuggle my sick little baby kitty in the hopes that some miracle will make him better. Nitey nite amigo. Sleep well.
Hey! How the hell ya doin' Sir Jimi?
Thanks Dale, I was feeling pretty ragged
Glad you are better. Other than working our asses off trying to catch up around here, we are both hanging in there.
We have a baby steer that we are taking care of for a neighboring rancher because his mommy abandoned him, and he is sick. Seems like we are always caring for some sick animal. Sigh. But maybe that is why we were put here...

understatement....Thanks Dale, I was feeling pretty ragged
Only 85 outside today (87 inside) and, in spite if the heavy rain showers from 3-5 AM, I managed to mow a lot today. Lots and lots of lightning flashing just a few miles north of us right at the moment.One HOT SOB today, with a couple sprinkles this morning.....
Thanks Rich, you are always taking care of some kind of critter, that's coolGlad you are better. Other than working our asses off trying to catch up around here, we are both hanging in there.

Yeah, you're sure right there, weird experienceunderstatement....
Later my friendYak tomorrow....
You sure have that right my friend
G'nite, Dale. Have a safe one tomorrow and we'll BS more later.Yak tomorrow....
I have been watching the North Star very carefully because I wondered if our weird weather might be caused by a new tilt of the axis that the government would never want to tell the citizenry about, but I cannot detect anything more than a 1-2 degree wobble.
Yeah the goberment would be the last to tell you
, Hmmm not sure but isn't a couple degrees wobble normal? Just a thought
Good boy for knowing that. I should have been more to the point. I meant a couple more than "normal." And we are definitely having a magnetic shift. Magnetic North has always been (at least in my lifetime
) in northern Canada and is currently shifting across the north polar region into Russia. Magnetic anomalies might have a slight affect on weather, but not nearly so much as a shift in physical pole positions, which, as best as my limited equipment can discern, is not happening like the "conspiracy theorists" would have us believe. However, the increase in solar activity can have such an effect, but I have no way to measure that and I am having a hard time believing anything NASA tells us anymore (they are still lying about global warming). I wonder who paid them off?.
Yeah, I need to crawl in the sack too. Hope to see you here tomorrow my friend.
Officially it was 89 both inside and out, but the humidity felt like 9000%. I do not know what the temperature was in direct sunlight (all official temps are taken in the shade) but I am sure it was well over 100 (110? 120?) and that's where I was most of the day -- mowing the ditches.
Mowing duh ditches?...............
Warm there too?.. oh well, I don't feel alone ...........
