Top 5 Minus 1 - Neil Diamond Performs!
Well, I spent most of the show in the kitchen, making my first meal of the day because my heat pump was blowing 80 degree air most of the day, while it crept up close to 100 outside, and it was just too hot to eat. It's been doing this intermittently every morning after not running at night when it's cool enough to have the windows open, and it's been doing this for the past few years. I managed to find a guy to troubleshoot it, and he said I need a new compressor, which is costly but much less than a new unit. And after he left, it kicked in blowing cold air. When it gets hot enough that it cycles off and on frequently all night long, it would probably run fine for the whole summer, as it has for the past two years, but it's just no fun knowing it's eventually going to fail again and wake me up blowing warm air, so I guess it's time. Thank goodness for credit. Okay, enough personal venting...

The phone call from the woman who was Simon's first kiss at the age of nine was very cool. What surprised me is that he had the nerve to ask her how she looked these days, clearly indicating a firm interest in seeing her and maybe hooking up with her in a serious way, right on public television in front of the whole world and his current girlfriend of many years.

Okay, so bottom line is that Brooke goes home. She knew, and took it more emotionally than most, making her finale one of the more difficult to endure. Surely Syesha or Jason is next, and my take on the last few shows says it should be Jason, but next week might change that, or his clear fan base will continue to bail him out.
'nuf 4 now...
See you next week!
Urgh, John, I'm so sorry about your troubles! What a pain!! That thing sure has given you problems. I hope it gets worked out soon and for way less money than you've guessed.
ReplyDeleteReplacing the compressor will only cost about 1/4th the price of a new unit, and there's not much else that can go wrong with them, so it should last a good while. But it falls on the tail end of several unexpected expenses that hit me on top of income and property taxes and vehicle registration all hitting me in the last two months, so thank goodness for credit cards... ; ) But it won't really hurt much in the big picture, which is looking very good.
