Ahhhhh...! :-)

The A/C guy just left. We have a new blower wheel and cool, dehumidified air is once again flowing. Under warranty (i.e., the wheel was free) , it was about $185 for 45 minutes work. Oh, I guess it included the 15 minutes he spent the last time he came out.

I simply don't remember what it was like growing up without A/C. I didn't have A/C in a car until 1985 (it was a $1200 option on a $15,000 car!) and didn't have "whole house" A/C until about 1989. Before that it was a room A/C in the bedroom (for the most part). How did I live that way? Spoiled, huh? :-)
