00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Amanda, did we get our appointment t x-rays yet?

Saw someone walking their dog today. Amanda have an extra saddle?

So the injury also means no horseback riding until I don't need the brace anymore which makes me sad so I will need lots of puppy, kitty, fish, and any other animals pictures as well as all the happy family pictures I can get from all of yoyou

Here's last night's dinner that I forgot to post Amanda. Fajitas!

Good morning all!

Woke up to no AC after a rain last night. Got out and checked the breaker - it tripped. Reset it and jumped on the roof (kinda like Superman except with a ladder). Compressor wasn't running and the condenser fan wasn't either. I had my wife switch it off and I checked the capacitor - looked good but it had shifted over and was touching the ground bolt. Also found the condenser fan white "common/neutral" wire had rubbed on the thermostat switch and was almost exposed wires. Moved the capacitor away from the ground some and rerouted the wires (gonna tape later) and restarted it. Compressor and condenser fan both kicked on like they should.

Best guess: wire or capacitor shorted and tripped the breaker.

We're going on about 3 hours of normal running.

After climbing off the roof I went to my parents house and laid some tile with my dad outside on the patio. It's nasty muggy out today so I'm wearing one of the sweatshirts that was discussed yesterday.

Dang Tim, that was a rough start to the day. Glad you got that AC fixed for you and the family.

And the tank! Hydros said we got up to 79.4.

Just finished up at the urgent care nothing is broken or fractured just badly sprained and bruised. I have to wear a brace for 3 weeks.

had to go back a few pages to see you already went. Hope for a speedy recover. so must be bruised right down to the bone. hopefully you received some more pain meds.

Interesting development that makes sense but people never really talk about... pH dropped during the no AC time as well.

I had A/C once cut out at the hottest time of the year. took 10 days for them to order parts and repair. this is what was inside when they opened other up.

Luis, we can be friends again ;-)

Interesting, I don't have anything to check Ph because it has always been stable but it would have been interesting to see how it behaved yesterday

I must say I've never seen a nest there, I've seen snake skins, mice, lizards...

yeah, this was a few years ago in peak Covid time too. The mouse fried the capacitor and the compressor. And I had just given all my window fans away to someone who had no AC.

Saw a really nice looking clown tang at Petco this morning for $60 ~3". But I do not want to deal with ich magnets.

Clown Tangs are pretty but they can turn mean, right?

I don't know. I just know tangs are ich attractants. Can't be meaner than my dotty or blue devils

I'm going with the cable option because if the capacitor had shorted out, it would have been damaged. You measured the capacitor an it has the MF that it need? When you were changing the cables, didn't you see any signs of a short circuit?

I didn't change them, just shifted them over away from the switch.

Capacitor wasn't swollen and didn't appear to have arced. That's the only two things I "changed" so I'm assuming either the wind and rain last night or the wire caused it. Either way, I'll probably swap the breaker out sooner rather than later to be safe and tape the wire. The capacitor is only 8 months or so. I swapped the main capacitor when I was having AC trouble earlier this year or late last year and the new condenser fan I got at that same time came with a new starter capacitor for the fan.

That looks delicious!
