**As always, it is not expected for anyone to bring anything; i.e. food, drinks, stickers, patches, etc. Anything brought is greatly appreciated, but you are still allowed to partake even if you can't bring anything **

For those who haven't attended before, generally we all pitch in and bring various items for cooking bacon, tacos, bacon, coffee and... uh... bacon. It is a community effort and as stated above, you are not expected to bring anything. You are more than welcome to still enjoy a Taco, beverage and enjoy the company of others.

If you would like to bring something, the general list (not definitive, just spit balling) is:

Tortillas
Cheese
Bacon (lots )
Eggs (also lots)
Salsa
Other condiments or snacks or food items
Water
Drinks
Chairs
Table
Cooker
Coffee
Sugar
Cups
Plates

T&T Part Deux: Park/Lake Meetup

We discussed last T&T about moving the gathering to a potential meetup at (location blank) @Texoma where did we discuss . Chris (not you @jmdaniel ) was saying we will need a good indication TODAY of who wants to go so he can pick up guest passes. If we don't have a clear number we will have to choose another location. Different from the place I can't remember . anyway... This would just be a fun meetup to get out of the direct heat of the parking lot, hang out some more, grill, drink, swim, etc...

Post T&T Meetup (location TBD):

@Misplaced Nebraskan
@Phoosa




***Chime in on either event and I'll try to update daily***


I am working straight through my weekend into the next work week so this list will usually be updated in the afternoon/evening

@Misplaced Nebraskan
Put me on the list for TnT and the aftermath.

 

done

 

Your gonna get me put on some form of terror watch list with a headline like that.

 

"Mission" already has their eyes on you....

 

Ac seems to be working now. I was able to get fan motor yesterday and capacitor but was given wrong capacitor. Ac neighbor came around late afternoon and wired it up for me . I did good for a plumber.
Portable Ac has man cave hotel cold

 

But did you do the all important step...? I refer to my story:

Changed fan motor and capacitor on both units. Once I had it all wired up, I left the covers off so I could power it on and test it. Test Sat. Opened Breaker. Went to place side panel back on and while wiggling it into place, I knocked the capacitor out of its holder and it shorted across the metal plate in my hand. Kazap! Capacitor tested sat for it's ability to hold voltage and subsequently discharge it. Second unit I made sure to discharge it again before reassembly

 

As a plumber I stopped. If I could've got the identical parts I would've but it being an American standard/trane nobody had the parts. I was able to get stuff at a Plbg/Ac supply house we have an account with.

 

The portable Ac I got at Home Depot works like a champ. It's definitely getting used.
