McAllen Texas
Surprised by a 1 am direct.
Imagine if you will, driving a few short hours to a foreign country with an open border, where you don't speak the language and can't read the signs. Mirabel, Quebec - they have horizontal stoplights too. Shippers are bilingual but English seems to fade when you leave Montreal
Went to a mcdonalds for wifi and lunch, chickened out and used the touchscreen...nice girl behind the counter said blah blah blah and I smiled back and skulked out
So this is how immigrants must feel, pretty isolating, I'm hiding in my van in case somebody tries to make small talk or something
Sticking around for a backhaul and GasBuddy is no help, diesel is 4.15 a gallon...nap, then home

Unloaded in Saint Louis. Now trying to fix the AC. A lot of google going on here. AC clutch won't engage, It might be a burnt coil or the compressor itself.
Consulted an old back yard mechanic friend. He said, last resort, force the AC clutch manually until it engage and glue it permanently and it should pump the refrigerant. Huh?!?
Good bye compressor.
Not! Lol...

Sold my Camaro 35 years ago
I guess that's why he's a backyard mechanic. I had one tell me to cross thread the bolt, best lock washer there is.

What went wrong? You know any modern cast iron today needs to be polished inside before ya season it correct.. Once broke in propely ya can't go wrong with cast iron.
