Interesting turn of events with my former BMW/F150 Lightning neighbor. The Ford dealer had a customer apparently want a Lightning really badly and they offered him $30k over what he paid for it, so he jumped on it and pocketed some change. He in turn bought a Kia or Hyundai electric car (don't remember which).

That makes no sense to me. But congrats on your neighbor's profit.

I am getting so many spam texts. Most of them are political. Really starting to tick me off. I get one from one party, and then the other one sends something out.

But then I still get the typical bs trying to get me to click on whatever bs link.

I got one asking who I'd be supporting, Warnock or Walker. I responded to it with "yo momma", and haven't gotten one since 🤣

I always go extra hard for the other party. Last election cycle, if it was a go Biden group, I would respond with the most pro MAGA text I could think of. If it was trump I replied back with how he loves Russian hooker golden showers

After a terrific June, my July numbers are pathetic. Those June numbers reflect projects from at least many months ago to as much as a year. A young entrepreneur over in Elberton that I quoted a 100HP to about 18 months ago asked me to re-quote and I got the order in minutes. Even wiring the money upfront with a 24 week delivery. Of course I will not get compensated cause I will flying to coup by then, so gave the young man a very good price, and would of anyways as he is just another phenomenal young man and business owner. Nice knowing there is good young people out there.

Of course Dry Pocket guy told me he walked into an office today and a Facility Engineer immediately said "You suck"....meaning our company. He is still noid cause the money has not been wired to his account lol

And BTW, since he is only a few miles from the Georgia Giddystones, I asked him what happened. He said they found the time capsule when they demolished and there were 1500 Qualudes and some porn stuff..lol.
I mentioned Wolf of Wallstreet and we got a laugh as they must be very potent by now.

Not under warranty?

I trust HVAC repair guys as far as I can throw them. I have taken it on myself to learn as much as I can about all things HVAC and there is no way some ass wipe is going to lie to me and get away with it.

I had an appliance repairman charge me $400 for a replacement board in my man cave refrigerator years ago. I told this story before. When I opened in the night before the Georgia game it must of been 140F inside you could smell the plastic fumes.Turns out it was the $30 or whatever light switch was sticking shut..now that is bizarre as you would think door closes and little button pushes in to kill the circuit, but is was opposite. I guess a NO switch. Talk about bad engineering

I stuck with the standard warranty. 10 year parts 1 year labor. Little did I know the labor is the major cost. When it's late July and your air is out you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I had just had a tune-up within the last two weeks. I am always suspicious but what do you do. I was able to get a 2nd quote for the issue and the price was comparable. $1200 - $1300 minus maintenance agreement discount put me under $1000.

I asked the tech guy what could've been the root cause he said it could've gotten too hot at installation when they were welding nearby or it could've just been partially bad. It's hard to say. Suck it up and move on. Listen learned on the warranty. I'll at least more strongly consider cost - benefit in assessing risk.
