Thankfully my father in law is awesome at pretty much any/all home repairs. I dont know how this is going to play out but I have my fingers crossed that its fixable. The unit it only 10 years old...

Cant wait to hear how much this is gonna cost. We know someone that just had to buy a new unit to the tune of 8k.

Hopefully just a compressor etc. that the FIL can replace/fix.

If replacing the wiring/motor doesnt work today, I cant envision a way to afford a new AC...



mox - if that were to happen, your wife would probably take my side and that would be the end of your lawncare service. Women stick together for stuff like that. I'd imagine that I would have to put on some sunblock because I'd be the one on the roof, then I'd have to pay for repairs. So you see, there's no getting out of this cheap. Vicious cycle...

Yep, this is a "Get it Fixed or Else" situation. Been there. Done that. If it were me, it better appear that I was working on fixing the problem every waking second or there'd be hell to pay. Even if I'm on the can or blowing my nose I better look like I'm jotting notes down or reading a manual or something to get to the quickest possible solution :lol: GL Dan! I hope it's an easy fix!

Dave - this is completely OT, but where do you look for hi-res photos?
I've already tried yahoo/google/photobucket/et al.
I may have to just buy some 8x10's and scan them myself :o :shock: :o

If anyone else has any input/advice, please feel free.

I would assume you want player pics? If it's hi-res you need, those are hard to come by. I think there are only a couple places that post pics big enough to be good quality when they are shrunk down for hi res output. MLB.com has some I think (it's been a while), but in google Images, I know you can specify only large image files are found, which would be adequate for hi-res output.

If you are just doing graphics for a sig or web site, you only need lo-res, but at a decent file size (inches, not kilobytes). If you have to enlarge a file from a very small pixel size the image will be very fuzzy. Usually for banner or avatars etc, google does the trick for me.

Thanks Dave. Yeah, I can find TONS of stuff for more current/popular players.
Dawson & Williams are proving hard to come by. I need some 8x10's anyway :D

Morning gents. Hope everyone has an awesome day. May the sun shine, may the fish bite, may the beer taste good, may your endeavors find happy fulfillment, and may the wives be silent (unless you're.....ya know.) :)

My apologies for being so late today guys. I had to get 3 fillings this morning. No worries though, I have a great dentist and everything went smoothly and pain free.

George- The set is looking great! Congrats on another red pick up.

Dan- You guys are in my thoughts and prayers. It's too damn hot not to have AC. We'll be praying that it's an easy and inexpensive fix. ;)

Just making sure I check in. I have a professional development class this week, with no computer access. But I really like this professor, so it's not that bad doing 5 days of fractions...

George, that chunk of Red autos looks great!

Yo Yo fellas
Go figure I could not even give some of my cards way (sell that is) and then I listed them
on the bay and they sold for what I was asking for them. Sad part about that is I lose money
because of eBay fees and PP. ::facepalm:: Oh well one of them went to a board member even. ::facepalm::
I was asking my BIN price before and on one even counter offered, so the card sold for the BIN :)
