ebinmaine 70,401 #51 Posted March 31 I'm finally enjoying a day above 40° here in Southern Maine. Foggy and misty with occasional rain but well above freezing. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 2,573 #52 Posted March 31 (edited) Today I went to NAPA after work to pick up this year's 30 of R-134A. I kinda hope I actually manage to go through it all this summer. AC work is good money when I can get it. And yes, I have my refrigerant certs (they won't sell you that much if you don't) and proper recovery and service equipment at home.

The mist - Steven King Never been big on Steven King. I used to enjoy H.P. Lovecraft, but after reading The Color of Space all of his stories make my feet itch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 70,401 #58 Posted April 1 I have great respect for the talent and the legacy Steven King has created. Can't read or watch most of his material. My infantile brain despises being startled scared terrified or anything close. I've never met him. Did meet his wife years ago. Very nice woman. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My late brother, a carpenter and cabinet maker, lived up in Stetson for a while. He did some work for him. Told me he was a nice enough guy, but a bit odd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a story in there speaking about a girl named Betsy Malenfant who was "not that bright, but it didn't matter when you got her in the back seat of a car". So's ya know, that is my wife's name! If you Google her name, she is the only one who comes up. Never met King. Pretty bizarre! He said he made it up. Edited April 1 by Wayne0 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
