Rainy days with my cooling device

We haven’t played music with our band in over a week and I am getting withdrawals.

Last Sunday we were supposed to play however my voice was still hoarse from too much singing the week before.

Now my voice is back though and I am ready to go, however the weather doesn’t look so nice right now. It is gray and rainy looking outside so I know we will not be able to play again today, however tomorrow looks to be sunny so we will certainly play tomorrow. I know some time off was needed for my voice and cooling down today in the flat reminds me that Summer is here and my air conditioning is going to get a workout for a while. It will be hot for another three months and this town is going to be bursting at the seams with tourists. I will do what I normally do and work at the Heating and A/C contractor a few times a week doing heating and cooling repairs for the main man. It is a nice job and I plan on working in the field for another few years till I cut back a bit more on my hours. I know doing Heating and A/C repairs 10 hours a week for the heating supplier is something I could do for the rest of my life. I will be in my 60’s in a few years and that will be my decade to focus mainly on music and having fun because the 70’s starts to slow down for all the people. My Heating and A/C supplier is still going strong though in his 70’s.

Last cooling unit story for the day

I can smell my sandwich cooking on the stove and it is making me hungrier.

  • I know it will be ready in a few minutes, which is a good thing because I am getting very hungry.

After I eat I will go for a short bike ride to test out my new brakes I just got put on. It only cost me $20 for the brakes and I am thinking that just the rear brake will be enough to stop my little folding bike. I could buy another brake caliper for the front as well, however the local supplier is out of them till they order more from the local contractor in another town. Maybe I can fix the one that is on my bike now, however the way it looks with all of the rust on it I don’t know if it is possible! My Heating and A/C worker acquaintance is coming over tomorrow to take a look at our Heating and A/C system to see if it needs a tune up soon. I have not had the thing looked at in a long time and I noticed that my power bills have been creeping up over the past few months. I bet that the HEPA filter is dirty and I also know the air conditioning unit may need to be charged as it seems to be running more than normal. As for the heat I absolutely don’t know yet because it is Summer and I have not run the heat for like six months. I know the heating contractor acquaintance will tell me what I have to do.

Heating up the stovetop for lunch

I have my sandwich cooking away on the stove, giving me something to look forward to today! I absolutely have a problem with grilled cheese sandwiches, eating them almost every single day for years now.

I like to eat them with squash soup, but I have switched over to squash juice because it has no added sugars.

The bread I eat also has zero sugar so I am hoping that my addiction isn’t so terrible for me. I guess the cheese is the worst thing, but I only use a small slice so I guess I may be fine. The cooling worker eats them every day too, for as long as she has been working at the Heating and A/C business, and she says they are totally good for you. I know one small slice of cheese a day is okay, and it is going to have to be okay because I can’t stop eating those tasty crispy sandwiches. When I was a local contractor back home I used to eat a BLT each day at this local business, however after reading about how terrible bacon is I stopped. Now I get my fix from the cheese sandwich and squash juice for lunch each day, just like I will be having in about 15 more minutes. Anyway, today I am going to clean my washable filter and play with the cats for a bit after I get my heating and cooling writing work done. It is Friday and the town is pretty packed so I am going to basically stay in the flat all day.

Three days till air conditioning cooling begins

Some mornings are better than others, and today is one of those mornings that doesn’t seem to be one of them.

I feel very tired today and not feeling like being out in the chaos of our town with the big festival going on.

My good friend and I also have a big rugby tournament on the beach where I normally hang out, so it is pretty much a zoo in the whole town. But in about three mornings it will calm down again and I can safely go out without getting bombarded with people in the streets and around town. The local supplier owners are all happy when it is crowded, however with the weather heating up there is no place to go for reprieve. I think I am sleepy because the heat has absolutely been getting ridiculous and my body needs time to adjust to it. It wasn’t long ago that I was running my radiant floors to warm up my feet, along with running the furnace to take the chill out of the air. Well, those mornings are long gone and it will be hot here for the next three months. But in three months I will shut off the cooling system and give it a break before turning the electric furnace on for the winter. I need to decide in the next couple of weeks if I am going to meet my brother for a trip to this other country for a week. I just dread the air conditioned plane ride and those ice cold airports with the air conditioning blasting way too much.

My cooling tech brother is coming to town

I know my brother may pop into my town in a month to go see Tom Jones, who is 83 years old and still going strong.

I know of my gramps at 83 and he seemed so old and feeble compared to this legend.

I know when you have a passion like music it keeps you young and keeps you going. My grandpa just liked to fish, which compared to singing music in front of thousands of people is quite boring indeed. I just got into music myself a few years ago and hope it will push me along, heating up my desire to keep living life to the fullest. A 5000 seat air conditioned concert hall is where we will watch Tom perform, if my brother does end up coming here then. I wonder if Tom still has a voice after all of these years singing like that. My Heating and A/C tech cousin may come along too if he can cut loose from his Heating and A/C supplier long enough to make the week long trip over here. I just looked at the price of the tickets and Tom aint cheap, charging up to $400 a ticket for the seats. I bet the local supplier where he is performing takes a nice chunk of that money to cover heating and cooling expenses of the big concert hall. I will talk with my brother to see if he feels like paying that much to go see the legend while he is still performing. Anyway, I’m going to finish this heating and cooling article and then hit the yoga mat.

Moving slowly and cooling down

I am doing day number four with bleaching my teeth and they are for sure getting whiter.

I’m using those Crest easily white strips called radiant express and they seem to absolutely be making my teeth easily whiter with each use.

If you’re looking to make your smile easily whiter too then give these bad boys a shot. They cost like $35 for a two week supply, which I know will last me for two separate rounds of easily whitening. This week is Friday and last night I met some cool chic who painted caricatures and I am sure I’ll see her again. The local supplier where she was painting is right next to the Heating and A/C contractor where I work, and I also got her card so maybe we can meet again to chat. I like talking to other artists because I can relate to their mindsets, as opposed to my working class friends back in the States who just seem to talk about their kids and what they are buying. My life is so different now as a musician compared to when I was a heating supplier back home running my Heating and A/C dealership. I liked it for a while however then after doing it for a decade I wanted a change. I didn’t have any kids so it was simple to shut down my Heating and A/C supplier and move overseas to start a modern life as a ductwork cleaning worker part time. I was working way too many hours trying to keep that contractor going and now I just dabble in it part time for a local contractor.

A simple life with my indoor air cleaner

I was talking about how I changed my life to a more simple one over the past few years.

It took me like five years to simplify my life as I had a ton of toys and properties tying me down with debt.

I grew tired of always having to work so much to keep up with my lifestyle, so one day I decided I had enough and it was time for a change. I was working about 60 hours a week, and had been for many years, however after that I told myself no more. I shut down my local supplier after I paid off my debts from selling my local contractor supplier and after that I made a plan to get away to another country. I moved to a new country and did stand up comedy there for a few years before moving to a smaller town to simplify life even more. Now I play music for the Heating and A/C contractor with my bandmate and left comedy in the past as it was troubling my mind too much. Comedy uses the mind a lot while music seems to tap into the heart more. I work for the heating supplier about 15 hours a week and I know my Heating and A/C tech job is the best. I don’t know I can simplify my life much more than it is and I am pretty happy where it is now. The cooling supplier’s work is simple and I have a lot of time to work on my music with my friend. Life will be heating up soon with this newer music venture.

Seven air conditioning units in our home

I was pretty happy last night when I went to bed, knowing I made about $1500 that day with my EV contractor shares.

But waking up this afternoon was a different story as all my profits disappeared and I ended up being well over a thousand bucks.

Well, this is how the market goes and just when you think you had it all figured out you realize you haven’t got a clue. All I know is holding long term usually results in making money, so that is what I am going to do with the 16900 shares I have. Heating and cooling system work is looming in the background this weekend as we get ready to do a big ductwork cleaning and sealing job for this local business. I know we are going to start tomorrow because today is a big rugby tournament and there are going to be a lot of games to watch. My Heating and A/C tech acquaintance is playing in it and I want to watch as the competition is heating up later on where I normally play volleyball. It is a hot one today and I am going to stay in my flat till about 6pm when it starts to cool off a bit. I know my cooling supplier acquaintance is coming to town and my other acquaintance who does heat pump repairs is talking about coming to watch the rugby match as well. It will be a fun day hanging out with them and just being spectators for once, as we normally are playing ball there.

 

New heating

Visiting the heating business

I need to buy one more caliper at the local supplier, however they are $20 a piece and one brake works just well for this little bike, with the natural climate control it gives me when I ride.

I need to grab an allen wrench set today because I need them periodically and consistently have to borrow from my neighbor. I know I can buy a set for $5 so why not get it and have it when I need it? I guess it is just laziness so maybe I should stop bothering him and buy a set of them. Okay, I am back and he just loaned me the tools and now my bike has brakes again, well at least on the back wheel for now. I need to buy one more caliper at the local supplier, however they are $20 a piece and one brake works just well for this little bike, with the natural climate control it gives me when I ride. I will test out the brakes and make sure I can stop well with just the back one for now, but I am sure it will work because I ride slowly in this small town, however the new contractor in town is having a sale on the Heating and A/C systems and all of the smart control units and I know I may take a ride down there to see if there is anything I could use. My unit is running well for now however you never know when you need something else and it is to check out their prices. They had gas fireplaces last time I went there and even some old oil boilers for sale, which is something I would certainly not want to buy again seeing how many problems we had with our old oil furnace.

Followers following our heating as well as cooling tech band

Five more stories to write today as well as after that my buddy and I have to change hats as well as do some toil for my band.

  • I am trying to get 5000 followers for our page just to see what they think about our music as well as if my buddy and I are moving in the right direction with it.

I feel that if my buddy and I have that many followers as well as put good music on our own page that my buddy and I will keep building more over time. How do you get followers though as well as do you easily need them? My pal and I didn’t really have this 40 years ago as well as maybe heating up your band does not have to happen online. I’m sure you can play music in local businesses, as well as if you are good, get a following that way. But my heating, ventilation, and then the A/C worker friend told me that life is weird now compared to way back before the air conditioner was invented. It seems like if you are good that the followers will come to you, however you need to be heard before anyone knows if you are good. The cooling products supervisor at the air conditioner company told me that my buddy and I need to get in front of the right woman as well as our band will explode. I think my buddy and I also need to get one or two more bandmates to fill in the sound a bit more, as well as my buddy and I are looking for them right now. The air filter sales lady told us to just buy a bunch of followers, although I tried that with my heating, ventilation, as well as A/C tech money as well as it seemed to just be a waste of money. It is all another learning process.
