    If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Or fix your AC.

    I can't do AC at home. It undoes the heat acclimatizing I go through at work. Although it only gets to the mid 80's/low 90's at work nowadays.

    I worked at this place in CT where the ambient temperature would reach 130F in the summer...no AC and old ass ventilation system. The direct heat on the grill would cause our digital thermometer we kept in the kitchen to flash "error" at 159F. If you went into the walk-in freezer it was 135 degrees coolers than the kitchen.

    I'm so glad I switched to corporate.

    Oh man, good luck. Thing is, every component on that until will be aging and drawing more amps. Does it have a soft-start kit on it? Could provide some life insurance.

    Understood. Unit is 18 years old, so it really doesn't owe me anything. Worth throwing 12 bucks at it to see if I can get one last season out of it...

    On the other hand maybe he was really sleep deprived or drunk or recently suffered a head injury...or all three?

    I was 2 out of the three and couldn't sort laundry. I was all three and tried to pea in the refrigerator.

    SOS... Need some help. Throwing out a hail mary.

    Anyone have a set of OME 2881s (preferrably) or 882s or 883s laying around? I have new tires and wheels waiting at the shop for me. They ordered a set of 881s for me as well. The coils were supposed to be here today, but now they wont be here till Monday.

    I'm supposed to head to the Mountains with a bunch of other Taco drivers on Sunday.

    If anyone knows were I can pick up a set of coils, please let me know. (4wheel parts is 2-5 business days and Summit is out of stock)

    Do you know the weight of 881s? I have a pair of 5100s with 620 coils in my garage if you want them for the weekend

    The 883s are 590#

    Those 620#s may be a little stiff but it would be better than running my Bilsteins at the top setting with stock springs.... which is my only other option

    Do you have any extra weight?

    And the 620s are at the bottom setting so they're as soft as they can be
