I too, tend to start more than one project and sadly sometimes never finish any of them.
When our heating/cooling unit was new a few years ago, to maintain the warranty on it, it had to be inspected and serviced regularly, which is twice a year. I have been with this company for over 20 years and they are quite honest so I trust them to not fleece me with unnecessary expenses. The yearly cost is reasonable, they clean the unit and inspect it and that meets the manufacturers requirements. The couple of things that have went wrong with it over the years, was paid by the manufacturer and that more than made up for the servicing.
But we never have to not use it before the inspection. It should be ok for you to keep cool while you are working. No need to drown in your sweat while you work your fingers to the bones!

ET BE OF GOOD CHEER, IT WILL GET COLD AGAIN, AFTER ALL THE MIDDLE WEST IS WHALL T IT IS. I LOVE THAT PART ABOUT SLEEPING ON THE COUCH BECAUSE YOUR BED IS FULL OF CLOTHES. YOU BETTER KEEP SOME OF THE OLDER THINGS, THEY WILL LOOK NEW TO OTHER PEOPLE AND YOU CAN "MAKE NEW WITH OLD". GOOD LUCK!

Hi Earthy: Last Monday it was snowing and freezing cold here, then two days later it was Summer and shorts and t-shirt weather. I have to put all my Winter clothes away and drag out all my Summer clothes too but I don't seem to have much energy to do it this year. We only seem to have two seasons now and not much in between freezing cold and boiling hot weather.

You just hush with that elderly talk! You keep calling me "elderly" and you are older than me.

ET, I'm taking a break..... something I do frequently these days. But I do have some clothes hung up out of the dryer, and more in it.
The UPS man delivered my insta-pot and air fryer, but I had him leave it in the garage and I opened the big box and brought each one in separately. Not sure where to put them though. They look like they are going to be pretty big and heavy and will need to just sit out on the counter.
I had a box of stuff to take to our booth, but decided to go through it first, so am getting another box of stuff ready to go after I get a hair cut. Then the yard needs mowed. I'm going to wait awhile before I plant anything.
We leave in one week for a trip with Yellow Duck, so I have a time element to get everything done...... but like you, I seem to take one step forward and two backward.
What I want to know is............ how the heck did we get everything done when we worked?

This Spring weather seems to confuse me. My body responds to the season......The world is green and golden again with frilly blossoms, humming bumbly-bees, nesting, flitting. drumming, singing birds......Nature's excitement is contagious.....we are, after all, animals, and our bodies respond to the awakening......My sap rises...at least metaphorically. I am filled with energy and bursting with song.....I throw myself into yard work and gardening and Spring chores.....My rising sap is apparently affecting my common sense as well, because yesterday I bought some original paintings......2 of them, by different artists......I 'm not sure what came over me. I always find art compelling, but there is no way I can afford original paintings...Ha!

So now, with aching body, from all the outdoor work......and aching pocket-book, I'm just sitting back in my deck chair and typing and listening to the kids getting off the bus........Life is lovely even when it hurts......

I love Txjw2's sense of humor. I don't have A/C in my place. We aren't allowed to put those things in. Also the windows aren't as such to put one in. So I have to rely on fans which most of the time do the job. We don't get hot weather till July and usually only for a couple of months. I face the ocean and in between the buildings I sometime get the breezes off the ocean. Tx version of using the warranty for TP reminds me of when we were kids and we used Sears catalogs for toilet paper. I was so happy when the day arrived when we used regular toilet paper.

My understanding is that the instapot is a cross between a slow cooker and a pressure cooker. A lay from SFF who is on FB got one and I think she had to install some kind of hose for the steam to escape through. I don't have need for one. I do a lot of stir fries and besides which I don't have roo on my counter for another small appliance.

Earthy when you are finished sorting your closets you can come do mine. I need to haul out my summer clothes and put away the winter stuff. My bed is usually the landing spot as I make the transition.

LOL, JW. NOT that kind of pot. I am hoping this instant pot will be helpful..... I'm getting where I really do not like to cook, and often don't figure out what I want until it is too late to cook many things. This will greatly cut cooking time.

I must admit TX supplies a lot of humor to the blogs. It is something that we can use and it goes a long way. Maybe TX can go and push a few of Trump's buttons or put in a zipper. I was watching Jimmy Kimmel last night and of course his favorite subject is Donald Trump. I love when he slows down when Trump is talking and it sounds like he is talking out of the corner of his mouth. It is not very flattering of him.
