New Flux Capacitor

We got the heat pump fixed today. When I called home Ginger told me that the AC dude had showed up and fixed the problem. And that the run capacitor had needed to be replaced. I made a joke about replacing the Flux Capacitor and needing 1.21 Gigawatts, but got nothing except silence (apparently movie reference jokes are only funny to the teller). Ginger informed me that the capacitor was replaced in about 20 minutes and the total cost was under $200. So that was better news than I was expecting.

If you want to see a couple of other takes on the recent reunion we had check out the takes from Curt and Cheryl. Cheryl's is an especially fun romp because it takes a trip down memory lane, complete with photos.

Ginger took the kids to the library since there wasn't much else to do because of the rain. It's been raining here for the past couple of days. And it's just poured during some of the rainstorms (today's was one of those). In fact, our local rain run off basin seems to be having a bit of a problem draining the water in a timely fashion. It might be clogged again. There's a ton of junk floating in it and the water looks really nasty (can you say soil erosion).
