Lorraine Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Troutman, it says you are the last poster on this thread, but your post doesn't show up. This has happened to me a few times before on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Actually it was yesterday, I was jumping a car battery. All of the sudden their was smoke. Turned off the engine and jumped out of my van. Not realizing that the cables were melting, I grabbed them to throw them on the ground. Burned the inside of my left hand. Just below my left thumb. I couldn't fish at this point if I wanted to. It is a pretty nasty burn. Keep that well covered and clean. It could get infected. If the burn is that bad, why don't you go to one of those emergency clinics to have it looked at? Thanks, Believe me. It's been constant cleaning and bandages. I will not pay for the emergency prices. I will survive and make it heal. Just frustrating. After a few hours I went and look at the cables. There was a short in the wires. That's strange, I couldn't see your post before. Now I can. :unsure: Anyway, peroxide helps. Inside the hand is a bad spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out the hard way I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Getting home later than I wanted to, I have so much many things that need to be done before my vacation starts this weekend. Then when I walk into my house it is HOT as hell because the AC went out. So I had to spend the entire evening trying to diagnose what the malfunction is. Not being able to find my meter (essential for diagnosis) why? because I need it! So I have to go into "caveman" AC tech mode. I discover either I have a bad condenser fan or capacitor or both! Too late to get one so I now have the ac limping along with a box fan as my condenser fan... Can you sat Macgyver? oh this will set me back about $200 right before vacation too!!

Bummer, Get the fans going.Fans without the AC running only stirs hot stickey air. So far my jerry rigging is doing the trick as the box fan I have over my condenser coil is giving just enough air flow to keep the compressors head pressure within nominal operating limits. Necessity is the mother of invention. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still has been hot but without the humidity makes for much more tolerable conditions. I guess I should feel blessed that I have the ability to correct the mechanical situations that confront me. I just am floored by the timing of such events, it never ceases to amaze me :D Edited June 22, 2016 by Crimsonmistymemory 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that you had a bit of a reprieve in the form of drier air :) Perhaps you were presented with this challenge because you are able to handle it! :madra: Your vacation was already well-deserved, but here's hoping that it will feel all the more enjoyable after you have permanently solved this AC issue! :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then your dog barking at home is better than your dog's silence while missing from home. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
