Grizzly Dave Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 the saga of my swamp cooler so the boy and I got it up and running Friday, water turned on etc worked for a day and a half then quit, I figured it was a belt Today the boy had an early errand, so I went and got a belt, well three, wasn't sure what size, trip 1 to Lowes we both get home, he goes up on roof, belt is fine motor is turning way slow and making noise return belts buy new motor, trip 2 to lowes wiring it was not at all obvious, but I figured it out, had to squeeze in the spade lugs. go to pull the pulley, take half an hour finding my gear puller so I find my gear puller and have to put it back together, crank, crank, it comes off a little then cranking gets way hard and I bent the pulley and it won't come any farther so another trip to Lowes and buy a new pulley, get it put on and send the boy back on the roof. He got it installed and adjusted and once again the swamp cooler is operational. Now I'm hot and sweaty and heading off to the chiropractor, I'll be nice to her and at least put on a fresh shirt.

Grizz You know when you go to the chiropractor, you literly put your life in their hands. They kill or cripple their "patients" only too frequently. The most common injury is a stroke caused by compressing the arteries in your neck when they "adjust it". http://whatstheharm.net/chiropractic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Don't think you need that Grizz. Really got hot here yesterday. Almost 80. Today it cooled off some to 69. Where did I put them Long Johns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Long johns? Sheesh, I don't even think about Long Johns till it's well below freezing, heck, anything above about 50 is shorts weather. Band Hand, we all make decisions, but best to make them after due research and thought. It's often a matter of risk/reward. FWIW, they never do my neck unless I specifically ask them to per my instructions. This cool air sure is nice, might actually be able to get to sleep before 1 am tonight.

Grizzly Dave Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 This was just my normal 6 week adjustment. That seems to work for me to keep from getting too far out of whack and minimize back pain most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
