Narrative: Had a busy day that started with two doctors’ appointments and ended up with massaging the air conditioner so it stays running for 9 more days.
The trip to the doctor was the first time we met in person since the virus outbreak in February. (Then it was a virtual appointment.) Yesterday we went to the office but Kathy was the only one with the appointment. Today we both had appointments in person with masks and a process of using hand sanitizer before handling the office clipboard.
When we got home the air conditioner was running on high cool but the temperature was one degree above set point. (Unusual) Using a temp gun the air coming out of the vent was 65 degrees. Too warm for the compressor on high cool and too cool for it not to have run recently. I turned off the breaker for the compressor and let the fan thaw the evaporator coils in the air handler. (Took about half an hour on high fan, surprising!) I took the cover off the coils and they looked pristine with no material in the drip tray. The drip line had mold on the underside of the pipes which I wiped off and discarded. Turned on the compressor and checked the temp of the coils, they were above 60 degrees which is right on target. Also there was good air flow through the coils. (I have no idea why the coils are freezing up.)
I did manage to fix the stove today. Lightning took out a diode and that blew both of the control boards for the stove top. I replaced the first board before I knew the second one was also blown.
White Fragility: It feels to me that the black population has an entrenched hatred for police officers. I agree that there has been some aggreges abuse, but the forgiveness seems a bit short. Eventually the “Movement” will have a steep hill to climb if the protesting keeps willfully disregarding established laws and ordinances. (Instead of positioning themselves above our existing laws as though they didn’t apply to them.)
