      Shows why micro channel coils are worthless. They might be marginally more efficient under test, but give some real world dirt and grease, the become plugged up and useless. Just another example of government regulations doing more harm than good.

But boy; am I glad that I’m retired and I just do it to help people out and not for a paycheck. Don’t miss the 18 hour days or the facilities guys calling from the hospital at 9 pm at night.

    A great demonstration of you keeping focused and somewhat calm amidst chaos. (California burning in the background) That’s an essential skill in itself especially in a smaller operation where staff is limited or you’re alone on a standby weekend.
    In central Canada it’s the Colorado lows that kick us in the a$$.. nothing like looking at a provincial map showing a visible swath of destruction cut through a telecom network; public safety broadcast facilities included. Realizing all hell as broken loose, each site without power now counting down the backup batteries end. Only hours left to restore 100’s of impacted sites. It’s times like that you see the very best or worst in people.

I imagine you checking weather forecast in adavnce just to guess how many calls you are gona to get ... It is an interesting job really, but hard to balance out like you have pointed many times.

    The smoke from the Yucaipa fire has just been horrendous... I was driving on the 10-West Saturday and you didn't know what exit you were at until you were right at it. Love it at 9:12 that you blew off your mirror and had a reaction of, "oh shit... Wait, nvm we all good." But honestly, with this heat, it's probably better for you to be doing evening/night calls... x.x a lot cooler.

    For where I live, its the Polar Voetexes that do it. Instead of high pressure resets it's flame sensor cleaning and plugged intake pipes (snow).

      As a business owner you're always on call. When its that hot multiple guys might be needed to get calls done. My phone is always on, even when I'm not on call I tell our guys to call if they have questions or need assistance. I've had many customers for so many years I often know what is wrong before the tech gets there, usually based off of what I told the customer they needed repaired/replaced and they opted not to. Saves the on call guy time troubleshooting something I already did.
