July 1966 Jim Trojan asked me if I would be interested in working for him and his dad in the Air-Conditioning/Refrigeration industry. We were both in a local bar drinking when this conversation started and I asked him what the job was about. Jim said they needed a truck driver, someone to pull and deliver material and occasionally get to work with the mechanics in the field.
I thought I'm drinking in a bar and there in here hiring drivers this sounds like a good place to work.
That's how Syd "the Kid" Smith got into the refrigeration trade.
Over the years I have been a truck driver, a local UA 373 refrigeration apprentice, a Journeyman Mechanic, a supermarket refrigeration installation Foreman, A project Coordinator, An H.V.A.C service manager. The owner of two business and to day is the first time that I am about to live in a house with central air-conditioning. Don't you think that's a little strange? Anyway here are a few shots of Matthew and Billy doing the finishing touches on two Carrier (brand) 21 SEER A/C systems.

I waited 58 years before i had Air Conditioning of any kind .Never even had a window unit .Now I feel like I'm making up for lost time!
Actually I haven't put it on yet . Those hot days last week were spent in the AIR CONDITIONED airstream. It looked like a big ice cold Coors can sweating in the sun.
To tell you the truth I don't like it and never have. I'll admit there is always a week every year that it's nice to have the rest of the time I don't need or want it.
I like to sleep with the windows open and that's all year long.
I felt the same as you Until I started to use it . Now I wouldn't be without it ,unless I had to . No humidity is such a nice thing!!!
We have the stats set at 74 and the fans set to on. I'm always cold
That what you get for putting in those cere 20's .I think I keep mine at 69 only because I still dream once and awhile .lol
I just noticed how you subtley manage to get some advertising into the blog
