County-wide Don't Breathe Order has been lifted.

Still hot and humid af, though.
At least we're in the shade here in the shop. Still hot af inside, though.

Someone stocked the freezer with a couple cases of Freeze-Pops, so there IS that.

The interview Tuesday didn't go well.

I told the recruiter that called me Friday that I was interested in full-time work out of Cincinnati.

Fine and good.....can you meet with our safety guy Tuesday? Yes, where and when.

So Tuesday I drive to a McDonald's 40 minutes away, we sit down, the DUDE tells me there's no full time work out of Cincinnati.....

Great. Thanks for your time. Seven minutes, my second shortest interview ever. I tell the guy give me a call if anything changes.

Since I burned a vacation day for this, I went about doing some errands.

I'm at the Meijer store near the house. I check my phone, there's a voice message......"Hey, my bad, we DO have full time in Cincinnati. Can you come on back and we can finish our talk?"

Uhhhhh, no. Just.....no.

Didn't even make 1 round today. Mushy hydraulic brakes. Like 40-60 psi application on a pneumatic system. Bike riders & Porsches, I need brakes. So went home and mowed my yards. Another fine day on the books.

House a/c/heat question for you @Dave_in_AZ (or anybody else in the know)

What type of system was installed? traditional a/c or a heat pump

Was it ground looped/geothermal to extend efficiency range for extreme temperatures?

WA State is encouraging new installs to be ground looped heat pumps here because the heater side does not loose as much efficiency in cold weather.

Ground loop heat pumps are very efficient...vertical loops even more so.

Bailing was a proper choice.

The interviewer not even bothering to check what he was interviewing you for is a sure sign of deep rooted managerial incompetence.

Another 4 hour wait. I did get my pepperoni rolls on the way home.

Not at this time, but thank you, I'll keep it in mind.

Columbus would be a longish daily commute for me. I'm not ready to move house, we got a pretty good setup where we are.

I'm tryna stay in Dayton, Cincy, or points between for jobs.

I got a couple more irons in the fire yet. Thanks again, though.
