Finally! Blogger's back.
Ouch-- that was a long outage as far as Internet, cloud services go.
Anyhow . . .
I finally got my air working again. I had a server issues at work where I had to manipulate the jumpers on a hard drive. Doing that inadvertently trained my mind to notice the shape of the little shunts that fit over the pins.
Well . . . it got so hot that my wife just complained and complained and complained.
And rightly so . . . it was quite miserable in our house.
She left to go visit a friend and get some touch ups done to her hair. While she was gone, I took a flash light and some tools. I opened the air conditioning unit in the back of my house and shined the light down and tried to make sense of it all.
I got nothing.
At first.
Then, I noticed a black wire with a little shunt attached to the end of it-- very much like a hard drive jumper.
Hmmmmm . . . .
Then, I noticed a tiny metal flange that was begging for something to slide over it.
Like that shunt on the end of that black wire.
Worked like a charm. I'm chillin' like a villain.
Things are getting better about my mood lately. My (meager)study of Kung Fu has taught me that every obstacle should be met with an attitude that is as relaxed as possible. So, when I get frustrated, I assume the seated relaxed position where you sit on the floor cross legged with your wrists resting on your knees. I take deep breaths and meditate and center myself.
That helps a lot these days.
Anyhow, things are getting better around the house, too. I've got virtually all the laundry done. Now-- step by step-- time to work on the rest of the house.
*Breath deeply*
