Getting back to it…

Well I haven’t posted in a while and that is because I went in for unexpected surgery to have my appendix removed.
I have been in the hospital until last evening and have not been in any condition to post.

I will be at home the next couple of weeks, so hopefully I will be able to get back to making some posts.

It is good to be back.

Russian Probe Shuts Media Foundation – washingtonpost.com

Russian Probe Shuts Media Foundation – washingtonpost.com
While many other things are going on in the world, Russia is slowly clamping down on rights and privileges, without much cause or concern from around the world.

They took a media foundation that trains journalists and closed it down for a mistake.  Not one world from the U.S. Government or any other government around the world.

I think that we need to be careful of Russia and provide more insight on what is happening there to the outside world.  Otherwise they are going to be back where they were many years ago, treating their people poorly and scaring the entire world.

Air Conditioning – Money Sinks

I just want to say what a rip-off air conditioners can be.
We installed an air conditioner last year for about $3,000 to $4,000 and it worked ok for the first summer. But when we fired it up this summer, it was not working.

Well I couldn’t get the company that installed our air conditioner, Heat Exchange, to come out for two weeks. We found Applewood Plumbing, Heading & Electric to come out within a couple days. Continue reading “Air Conditioning – Money Sinks”

The Rockies are driving me crazy!

Well they have a wonderful series and sweep the Yankees, including the previous 7 series.
They then go to Toronto and lose on Friday night, a game they should have won.  And then get killed the next two games, games they had no chance.

Then tonight, they were down 8-3 going to the Top of the 9th and come up with 6 runs, capped off with a home run by Tulowitski.  But then in the bottom of the 9th, they give up two runs on some weird plays and lose 10-6.

They are driving me crazy.

The offense is there, but the pitching has disappeared.  The pitchers need to step up and make things right so the team can start the run again.  They are playing teams that they should be beating, so they need to get it done.

The Denver Post – Denver area airport noise draws gripes

The Denver Post – Denver area airport noise draws gripes
People who buy a house near an airport should not be upset about the noise.  They know what is going on when they buy a house there.  That is what happened at Stapleton.  They built an airport and then people built homes around the new aiport.  Then the noise complaints came.

They should have better sense than to build residential development near an airport.  I am seeing the same growth near Denver International Airport and it is only a matter of time before the complaints start coming.  Despite having an incredible noise abatement program.

Temperature Record Broken in Denver

Well Denver hit a record high of 100 degrees today.  This is the fourth day this month that the a record high has been broken.
It is even hotter when your air condition is not working properly.

We switched it over to air conditioning earlier in June, but it has stopped sending cool air through the system.  The air coming out of the registers was measured at 70 degrees.  That is not cutting it.

We have been able to manage with cooling off the home through the evening, but it has just been to hot.

Hopefully it can be fixed on Tuesday when the repair man is coming.  Just in time for it to cool down.
