Air conditioner

[mortonfox]

While driving around town getting some errands done, I noticed the car air conditioner wasn't working. It was just blowing hot air. And this had to happen during a heat wave too! Went to get that fixed this evening. The reason it wasn't working was a bit indirect. Turns out that the radiator fan wasn't working so the engine was overheating. And that shuts off the air conditioner compressor. Well... after replacing the fan assembly, the car's once again ice cold. murr...

Also got an oil change since it was time for that. Mileage is 143,787.

While waiting, I called the NY Newsday reporter and did the interview. She informed me that she had already called some NYC and Long Island geocachers. Since the basics had already been covered, the focus was more along the lines of what drives my particular insanity. :) She'll let me know when the article will appear in the newspaper.

I just passed the 179,000 mark. I drive about 500 miles a week but somehow I still think you will catch up to me.

I have been doing about 3,000 miles a month judging by the frequency of oil changes. I don't intend to keep the car for too long after the 200,000 mile mark though.
