It's been a rough couple of days here on the homefront . The weather has changed and we have moved right into summer . Spring was in the air but it just kept going . The temperatures are hovering around 90 degrees . Which in and of itself is no big deal . As you know I plant a lot of trees for the future . And make my little piece of the world that I call home a better place . Unfortunately that does not help in the present . Just like Steemit , I am building for the future . A sapling here and there will pay off in the future . Not only for my benefit but for my environment or platform that I call home . Upkeep or engagement is a critical part of it . Ones foundation will either allow one to secede or collapse in time .
Last week before the warmer weather hit I checked my A/C unit . It blew air but not cold air . Not a big deal every once in awhile you have to recharge the system with coolant . So of I go and make an appointment to have the system recharged .
The guy comes out put his gauges on and behold its bone dry nothing is in the system . The tech ask if I wanted him to fill the system with r22 coolant . So I say no bring it to vacuum . Why would I want to fill it with coolant without checking for leaks . Bring it to vacuum will tell me if there is a leak without wasting money if there is a leak . Well there is a couple leaks in the coil . To keep things short it just cost me $86 to find out that I need to replace the coil $2400 and 4lbs of r22 will cost $800 bringing it to $3200 . Or I could replace the whole thing with the new r410 at a cost of $5960 . The problem is that r22 will be against the law to sell in 2020 .
It's been hot the last 3 days and my sweety pie does not do well in the heat . I purchased a couple Snickers bars for the mood swings (ref: to the snickers commercial) 🤔
So let's go over the options because the above is not going to happen
Replace the unit with r410 at a cost od $6000
replace the a coil and use r22 which will become more expensive at a cost of $3200
???
Ok a day later and after looking and working on different options this is what I have worked out
Replace the A-coil for a deferred cost of $1200 . receive 3 bottles of r22 to be used at later dates if needed . That's what I have worked out . A total cost of $1200 due TBD and enough free r22 that will last for years
Its is amazing how one's character and reputation comes in handy . People who over the years that one has engaged with and helped out asking nothing in return from them . How they step up as a community and pull together to accomplish what appears to be a problem for an individual and not a community . This all applies to ones action on Steemit , don't you think . So many good people here even though we have never meet in person . We can still look at each other's actions over time and determine the character of an accounts actions . Is there no difference when we know someone in person compared to engagement online . If we take the time to truly look at their actions . Truly get to know them . The small saplings we plant grow into mighty trees . Make some ripples and watch them grow into waves . Make friends not followers
I have to much sweet pouring down off me . no fancy post or pictures just the facts and Pay It Forward .
I love the comparison of the saplings your planting to Steemit and building a future. Each person we reach out to support and help is helping a sapling grow.
Sucks about the whole A/C thing. I don't blame you for wanting to get it fixed. I lived in STL for 7 years I hated the time I did not A/C it was horrible. Never seems to fail though, when something like that happens. It and arm and a leg to get it up and running. I hope your able to get it up and running soon.

its about having friends who help each other out . Building a community.
Sometimes your in the position to help others and when you do it builds friendships that last and in return when you need something it it paid back as you have treated them

This is so true! You get to know people in your life, and especially when you have some problems, your real friends jump in to help. I'd say it's exactly like what I've witnessed here; if you take the time to nourish it, it will grow. I love your tree analogy too by the way. Really nice post...and I don't mean that in a nice post kind of way haha

The very broad meaning in the first paragraph, the parable of the tree used today as a protector in the summer, the conclusion is that whatever we do today will provide something useful in the future. 👍

When you say "I plant a lot of trees"... is it like 20 trees? But whatever number it is, you are most definitely planting so much goodwill here in this community with the help that you provide me and fellow minnows. And you are appreciated! Just like with your trees, no effort is waste in what you do in #payitforward because and there will be pay off in the future! Excellent article. I am glad that you have worked out the AC situation. Stay cool, my friend!

I planted 7 so far this year . cultivating the ones from last year so we don't lose any . that's the ones around the house . the ones on the perimeter of the property is something we also do . them we just plant and they grow or not so I don't keep track . There is one are I let mother nature take over . I'll get some pictures of it later . The winter took a toll .
The point with the post is that we always pay things forward whether good or bad. The A/C was an example . I'm glad you got it . We all go through difficult times . It is easier when your not alone . I am grateful that I am not alone here on Steemit and together we can do so much

summer is heating Beijing too and there isn't AC in our office, the hot weather is putting some of our colleagues in a different mood. A couple of female interns just requested if they would wear shorts to the office in which I find it improper to do so.

Hope you have a nice cool summer ...jeez sitting in AC lol im so jellyfishing now ..🤣

I would love to jump into a pool or any body of water . When its 94 deg with 98% humidity it rains inside the house . When we cook dinner we just leave it in a pot on the counter and 45 min later its cooked ready to eat. It's so hot that when you turn on the hose the stream of water evaporates before it has a chance to hit the ground .
Hawaii has the best climate in all of the US
