Happy to report that I spoke to the auto mechanic I use for big jobs (because he lives 50+ miles away) and he told me quite firmly that he did not believe I needed a new AC condenser. He told me to get the coolant replaced and see what happens.
A load off my mind!
What!! You have air conditioning in your car?? Wait, you have a car?? Ha, I’m betting you have traded your ice box in for a modern electric refrigerator. And you talk about poverty. Does Paul Ryan know about this????
Best wishes for a long, cool summer.
