So yesterday, finally, we got some relief from the misery of having no AC in the house. I had to take off work yesterday to watch over the guys installing my new central unit. I was thinking, this will be nice, I can sleep until about ten o'clock, let the guys in and just chill while I make sure they don't break or steal anything. These dudes showed up at 5:23 am. This is obscenely early. I realize it's hot outside, but damn it was still dark out when they arrived. So anyways, one team came in and removed the old units and replaced them with my new and much more efficient model. But around 11 am, just when I thought I was in the clear, the guys comes to me with an issue. My new inside unit is shorter than my old one, so now he has to make a custom duct to connect the two. So I had to sit around the rest of the day waiting for the second team to come and attach this custom piece. So they didn't arrive until about 3 pm ... and it was hot in the house, very hot. And the second team had a "helper" with them who was some high school kid who almost put a ladder through my tv in the living room, in which case I would have promptly murdered him. Thankfully this did not happen.
So when they finally got done and cranked it up, I could just not stop smiling. This whole AC ordeal has taken over a month and I was just so glad to have some cold air blowing in my house. After everyone left, I set to work taking out window units, putting solar screens back on and getting all the fans out of there, and it felt so nice to have things back to normal. I also put the air down to 62 degrees and stood with my face up at one of the vents until my nose almost froze off, it was great. So in honor of this most cold and glorious occasion, I have posted this image of "Timothy", the snowman I made this year during one of our extremely rare snow days. Also, I ask that everyone go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aktLRiWXfqg and watch what I deem to be the absolute worst video ever put out on YouTube as a serious product. This video is by woman a "rapper" named T-Baby. I believe this video to be shot with a higher end webcam with the audio produced on a Talkboy Tape Recorder as made famous by Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2, Lost in New York. If that isn't enough to entice you it's also a video response to a video called "Let Me Smell Yo Dick". So I ask that you view this masterpiece entitled "It's Cold in the D" in celebration of it's awfulness and my new AC.
