A/C is cool, if it works, and right now "my man", as my Aunts in PA call him, is out getting the van's A/C fixed. He went over to his friend Phil's house where Phil does some mechanic work.

So far, we had some work done at the Shell station down the street. Some of it was unrelated to the A/C, but the bill was about $500. Gotta love that $86 an hour labor charge. The next week, the belt broke. DH fixed it. It worked for 2 or 3 days, then the compressor went up, smoking and all. So, now the final fix is in, and I think we've spent about $1000 on it. Oh, well, we will have to keep the van for another 2 years, unless the motor goes up in it.
