updates incuding the yard, a/c and memorial day
It's been a while so let's get started.

Amy and Scott helped with the patio in the back yard. It was ugly weather but not yet raining. I borrowed Leberknight's Xterra to buy more sand--1,200 lbs in two trips--and the battery died in the loading zone at home depot on the second trip. After running home to get my car and jumper cables Scott E. and I were able to get it started and last 600 lbs of sand home. Amy and I relayed the 90 pavers before it started to rain.

I had my air conditioning/heat pump serviced by adco. They weren't able to keep thier first apointment but rescheduled for a week later. The service person looked at the air handeler and the compressor but found that the compressor was EOL after 17 years and neeed to be replaced since it was stuck in "heat" mode and the fan wouldn't start without help. And so this morning I'm home for the installation of the $1,700 replacment.

This Monday Amy and I went to Kristin, Kristin, and Jen's BBQ. There was a good turnout and the sun even came out for a little while in the afternoon. I had too many hot dogs and a braughwurst mit zenf. We played frisbie and passed the football.
