Chesters is having a bike nite Friday 4/29 from 6-10 pm. Food trucks etc. Details on their Facebook page.

It's close to my house so I will likely stop by. Anyone else going?

 

Yes thinking about it, weather watch of course.

 

Will their parts department be open that late Friday?

 

Jonesee best to call and ask, speak to Murph or Pete in parts.

 

I'm thinking about this one, too!

 

Joe and Lauren, are you both still in for tonight?

 

Looking good for me, and my friend is playing at the American Legion Post 36 Bike Nite at State Road 84 and I 95 from 8 to 11, I would like to go see him, the bike nite there is pretty fun, I've gone many times.

 

I'm feeling like a no. Just being lazy even though I know it's a nice night to ride.

 

It was quiet and low-key, but I did meet with another rider so it was a nice jet down there and back. Oh, and I managed to pick up some yellow polarized glasses for the night ride home (been meaning to do that for a while now, so all was good.) I'm sure I'll catch up with you guys soon!

 

Yvonne I did get your text and responded... my air conditioner decided to quit late Friday afternoon, earliest I could get an appointment was Sunday at 1!

I told the company that put it in 2 years ago that just wasn't going to fly. Guess what, they told me to essentially pound sand because that was the best they would do.

I ended up spraying water on it to get it to run, an old trick I learned and it got me through the weekend. But turns out today when the guy got here, it was a bad Start/Run Capacitor. The capacitor was weak and the fan motor was running under voltage and overheating and kicking off. The trickle of water kept it cool enough to run. I have experience with a bad start capacitor on my old system, in fact I keep a spare in the garage but never knew a start/run capacitor could cause the system to run making a lot of extra noise... but sure enough a new capacitor it is quiet as can be and runs perfectly.

So I learned something today, with a Carrier system you need to by a big start/run capacitor and keep it on hand, it's easy to change and they do go bad and that'll save me $300 next time. Lesson learned hope this helps someone else, always have a spare capacitor even if your unit is only 2 years old like mine.
