Just had our Carrier A/C unit checked a couple of weeks ago. Today, the condenser motor started to hum and wouldn’t kick on. This was a 4 pm. C&K had someone here in 30 minutes. Turns out the motor is bad. Problem is they don’t have a motor on hand.

Thankfully we still were covered on parts. They waived the service call since they were just here two weeks ago. Still labor is $300. Unit warranty runs out in December. Motor alone is $250. So I did save a little bit. Nice to be able to open the windows yet with no humidity yet. Fingers crossed they get it replaced tomorrow.

We've had good experience with C&K. Techs are knowledgeable and not constantly trying to upsell and are prompt when there has been an issue.

We apent a few days two weeks ago at my sisters house near Carthage MO las week. Scarlet Tanagers and others all over her yard. I put out Merlin out to listen one morning and had 30 birds in 12 minutes. Timber on three sides of their acerage.

I've only seen a Scarlet a couple of times. But their red color is just stunning. Very tropical. Summer tanagers aren't quite as pretty.

I mentioned upthread that my sister got 36 different types at my parents' this weekend on Merlin. If you have good places for the birds to hang out and someone pretty dedicated to feeding them, you can get lots of fun birds.

Also, my turning into a bird person is a plot twist I did not anticipate.

Houston showed the value of disruptively long wingspan in its roster this year, which made players more versatile and able to switch. I remember my three man intramural team at ISU was pretty good. In the tournament we were advancing until we ran up against a team that had a 6'5" guy that we just couldn't get passes around or over. Things looked wide open and he would still make the steal. He was a lefty, so I overplayed him left and he STILL went left on me. Told him he should try out for the ISU team and he said, I am on it, but had to sit this year out...it was Elmer Robinson!

Kelsey Joens in Portal

I hope you got permission from Kelsey before very publicly sharing this. If you did great - if not, not cool. I'm sure you did...

There are those who support Fennelly no matter what and those who blast him no matter what. And then there are those who are skeptical of most reports that are extreme to either end of the spectrum.

That was my first thought, that Kelsey should have the say but once the toothpaste is out.

Very informative, sorry to hear this. I don't know if this is cruel or is it an honest talk with a player. In any job, tough choices are made. The silver lining is Kelsey is landing on her feet and probably even better. We will really miss her.
