Living on/in a floating steel box isn't too bad when you go home 1/3rd of the time,,,,except when the AC system dies. Then the temps rapidly soar over 100+ degrees. Sleeping becomes impossible.

The AC&R man got it going temporarily because "just-in-time" supply/delivery can't replace this unit until Monday (3 days).

This is in Houston, Tx!!!!! And there isn't a spare system in this LARGE city!!!!! Now that's scarey!!!!!

More evidence as to the wisdom of being prepared @ home!

I pulled a bandanna out of my BoB, soaked it, wrung it out, placed it around my neck, back, & chest. It keeps me cooler and functioning. Thanks, BoB!!!
