They have a portable AC in as a replacement and things have cooled off slightly, so we should be up and running unless another heat wave comes through. No ETA on the real unit being repaired yet but we will keep you posted... I'm also in the process of moving out to my new position at University of North Dakota these coming weeks, so if things are a little slow on my end getting things working or fixing problems, that's why.

Speaking of work - North Dakota? Who did you tick off to get assigned there? LOL. Before winter sets in, please learn what you should keep in your vehicle's "survival kit" .. not kidding. Speaking of vehicle, make SURE that you get a block heater or "tank-type" heater installed to keep the engine warm while it isn't running. Also, this may be a good time (off season) to start looking at cold weather clothing. From late Nov through mid-March, it can easily get to -30F or colder. Good Luck!

No, we won't mention it. Lets just say that it can be cold and breezy enough that it does not register on a Wind Chill Chart. Somewhat simple way to tell the temp without a thermometer.... right around -44 or so, if you are brave enough to open your mouth to spit, you can hear it crack before it hits the ground ID: 50373 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
