And a short Friday, to boot. Logging out at 10, taking the kids over to my parents house for another sleepover, then heading to Golf Galaxy for my fitting. No moonlight golf tonight, however. Nate had to cancel because of a funeral.

That's sad for Nate but all the other parts of the post seem positive.

Good morning, Dave.

Actually, golfers are usually pretty good about being paired up with someone else. We're all just out there to have fun and enjoy the scenery, and there's a camaraderie in that. But as early as I'm teeing off, I'll probably be out by myself anyways. If not, they can enjoy the wafting of my smoke. Lol

Today is Friday, July 23, the 204th day of 2021.
There are 161 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On July 23, 2003, Massachusetts’ attorney general issued a report saying clergy members and others in the Boston Archdiocese probably had sexually abused more than 1,000 people over a period of six decades.

On this date:

In 1829, William Austin Burt received a patent for his “typographer,” a forerunner of the typewriter.

In 1945, French Marshal Henri Petain (ahn-REE’ pay-TAN’), who had headed the pro-Axis Vichy (vee-shee) government during World War II, went on trial, charged with treason. (He was convicted and condemned to death, but the sentence was commuted to life in prison. On this date in 1951, Petain died in prison.)

In 1958, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II named the first four women to peerage in the House of Lords.

In 1967, five days of deadly rioting erupted in Detroit as an early morning police raid on an unlicensed bar resulted in a confrontation with local residents that escalated into violence that spread into other parts of the city; 43 people, mostly Blacks, were killed.

In 1982, actor Vic Morrow and two child actors, 7-year-old Myca Dinh Le and 6-year-old Renee Shin-Yi Chen, were killed when a helicopter crashed on top of them during filming of a Vietnam War scene for “Twilight Zone: The Movie.” (Director John Landis and four associates were later acquitted of manslaughter charges.)

In 1983, an Air Canada Boeing 767 ran out of fuel while flying from Montreal to Edmonton; the pilots were able to glide the jetliner to a safe emergency landing in Gimli, Manitoba. (The near-disaster occurred because the fuel had been erroneously measured in pounds instead of kilograms at a time when Canada was converting to the metric system.)

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush announced his choice of Judge David Souter of New Hampshire to succeed the retiring Justice William J. Brennan on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1997, the search for Andrew Cunanan (koo-NAN’-an), the suspected killer of designer Gianni Versace (JAH’-nee vur-SAH’-chee) and others, ended as police found his body on a houseboat in Miami Beach, an apparent suicide.

In 1999, space shuttle Columbia blasted off with the world’s most powerful X-ray telescope and Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a U.S. space flight.

In 2003, a new audiotape purported to be from toppled dictator Saddam Hussein called on Iraqis to resist the U.S. occupation.

In 2006, Tiger Woods became the first player since Tom Watson in 1982-83 to win consecutive British Open titles.

In 2017, a tractor trailer was found in a Walmart parking lot in San Antonio, Texas, crammed with dozens of immigrants; ten died and many more were treated at a hospital for dehydration and heat stroke. (The driver, James Bradley Jr., was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to transporting the immigrants resulting in death.)

Ten years ago: Singer Amy Winehouse, 27, was found dead in her London home from accidental alcohol poisoning. Retired Army Gen. John Shalikashvili, the first foreign-born chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, died at Madigan Army Medical Center near Tacoma, Washington, at age 75. Nguyen Cao Ky, 80, the flamboyant former air force general who’d ruled South Vietnam for two years during the Vietnam war, died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A bullet train crash in southern China claimed 40 lives.

Five years ago: A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-packed clothing among a large crowd of demonstrators in the Afghan capital, killing at least 80 people; the Islamic State group claimed responsibility.

One year ago: In response to an ACLU lawsuit, a federal judge blocked federal agents in Portland, Oregon from arresting or using physical force against journalists and legal observers at the ongoing protests there. In a shift from his earlier demand for a full reopening of the nation’s schools, President Donald Trump acknowledged that some schools might need to delay reopening in the fall as the coronavirus continued to surge. France reported a sharp uptick in coronavirus cases as people let down their guard heading into the country’s summer break. The virus-delayed and shortened major league baseball season began with the World Series champion Washington Nationals hosting the New York Yankees at an empty Nationals Park; Dr. Anthony Fauci threw out the ceremonial first ball. (The Yankees won, 4-1, in a game halted by rain.)

My wife decided to have an a/c guy come out last night. She got the recommendation from someone she works with. I spent nearly 4 hours with him while he cleaned and serviced my unit. (Not nearly as fun as it sounds). In the end, he filled it with refrigerant even though I told him there was a leak at the coils in the handler. Then he tried to start it up and it started short cycling. He told me to go out and buy a new capacitor. I successfully replaced the one on the other unit last year. I'm crossing my fingers that this will work. Wish me luck. Otherwise, I threw away about $315 dollars. Waiting for an estimate to replace the coils. That's IF today's operation is a success. I guess it's better than replacing the whole darned thing. Sheesh.

This kid didn't instill confidence in me. Sure enough, the short cycling continues. I would have bet it wasn't the capacitor but I don't know shit. Apparently, this kid knew less than me.

My wife decided to have an a/c guy come out last night. She got the recommendation from someone she works with. I spent nearly 4 hours with him while he cleaned and serviced my unit. (Not nearly as fun as it sounds). In the end, he filled it with refrigerant even though I told him there was a leak at the coils in the handler. Then he tried to start it up and it started short cycling. He told me to go out and buy a new capacitor. I successfully replaced the one on the other unit last year. I'm crossing my fingers that this will work. Wish me luck. Otherwise, I threw away about $315 dollars. Waiting for an estimate to replace the coils. That's IF today's operation is a success. I guess it's better than replacing the whole darned thing. Sheesh.
This kid didn't instill confidence in me. Sure enough, the short cycling continues. I would have bet it wasn't the capacitor but I don't know shit. Apparently, this kid knew less than me.
That's a damn shame.

A simple Google search shows that the "technician" overcharged the system with refrigerant. Apparently a very amateur move. May be too late and now I'll have to replace the whole fucking thing.  FMTT!
