Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving week always have been a fun week for us. This year being no different.
We had the privilege to install a new system and ductwork for Peter and Simone. The job came out fabulous as usual, but the twist was they fed us. They fed us like kings too. Top of the line homemade chili on day one, it was dynamite, subs on day two and fried chicken with potato salad on day three. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Nothing makes us go the extra mile like filling our belly's.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and save just enough room for a slice of pie.

Un-buckling my belt,
Tim

WOW

Above and beyond anything I could have even imagined.
Finally technology has caught up to what Roger Waters always wanted us to know.
Amazing 100% amazing.

Stunned,
Tim

Roger Waters

The time has come.
We held these tickets for seven months now.
When I was a freshman I played this album THE WALL so many times it would not play anymore.
Then I used up two cassettes.
Now it's on a cd. Indestructible right?
Ha Ha Ha



Education IS the most important thing for my children and all children.
Except...........




for tonight.

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasms in the classroom
HEY TEACHER......LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE!!!!!

All in all were just another brick in the wall.

See ya on the dark side.

Tom Will Be Missed

I don't have a picture of Tom Meredith so I posted one of a professional American Standard / Trane air handler installation. He will be so proud.

Tom was my American Standard equipment salesman. He was fine gentleman with a good sense of humor, and he put up with my demands.

Good luck with all your adventures, take care of you family and enjoy South Carolina.

Livin the good life,
Tim

Settle Down Easy

These pictures are from the Sunday afternoon/evening show.

It was very nice to stay at one venue for three nights and not drive a couple hundred miles, packing, un-packing, hotel jumping headache.




Found our route and a few good places to eat. I do love me some blackened fish tacos. Good stuff there.
We had warm (84-87) daytime temps and cool (52-56) evenings with a 10 MPH breeze. Low to no humidity, I don't think we could have even asked for any better weather.
We didn't even sweat once for the entire week, not bad for a couple of Florida folks.



There was an artist who painted and danced up a storm each and every night, always a different location, but always drew a crowd around him. He was a bono-fide character.
Sundays picture was Jerry playing a guitar and fading away into some clouds.
Fun times indeed.

WOW second set was totally off the hook. Space was the only one played the entire tour and it was very very sweet.
This was by far the best set of the six we saw.
left us all singing, whistling, looking and wanting more.



All in all Ana and I had a wonderful and relaxing time.
They played a total of 110 songs with 96 different ones. That is a lot of music to know and to play.
I think the only logical thing to do is look for New Years run in San Fran.

Nothing left to do but Smile, Smile, Smile

I-70 What A Ride

Thursday was an off day. It was 750 miles from Las Vegas to Denver, we took our time driving through Utah and into Colorado. Ana was very impressed with this area of our country, she has never been out west.



We actually hit the area during a cool front. Usually the temps are in 100 to 110 this time of the year, but the highest temps we felt was 85 with very low humidity.
The entire time we were out west we did not sweat a single time.
Good stuff.



Stopped and got a very good hotel room in Eagle Colorado. About 150 miles short of Denver, it is in the Rockies. The aspen trees were in full bloom and some of the mountainsides were all yellow. Very nice, an extra bonus for our trip.



After a good nights rest we drove into Denver and got our hotel room. We were very excited to get a glimpse of and see a show at the world famous Red Rocks Theater.
We decided to see this show from the very back and get the full view of Denver skyline, all the outer towns, and the day after harvest moon rise over the stage.
I took my spot on a wall with a rail to hold onto and I stood 7 feet above the crowd.
My own personal space.
Very cool lookout spot.

Red Rocks IS a very magical place for sure, the sound, the breeze, the people, just the overall atmosphere.
The band is having the time of their lives, there is no mistaking that. The crowd could not be more appreciative.
Holding on tight, 2 more nights,
Tim

Full House In Vegas

Hard Rock is the place they film Rehab the TV show.
The pool totals 3 miles in length, kinda cold a shock to me, but the spa was good.
Totally cool set up, and believe me when I say a bunch of my fellow deadheads needed to clean themselves and pick up some sun. The pool was a nice bonus.



Everyone stayed here the fans, and the band, We ate breakfast at Mr. Lucky's in the casino and the band members came and left throughout our stay.
ATM's in Vegas only deal in 100's not 20's.
I said something to a cashier and she told me nothing in Vegas is worth less than $100.00
I guess I'm just cheap.

Takin tomorrow off

No Free Shows In LA

Hollywood Blvd, there are a whole bunch of odd people. I mean a lot. This is coming from ME!
To stick out in LA you really have to stick out.
These girls were walking up and down the street posing with people for a snapshot and a tip.
Ana stopped to take a photo, they spotted her and in unison held up there hands and said very loud "There ain't no free shows in LA, Girlie"
We walked on and reviewed the picture and thought about what they said, and you know what?
There IS a free show and they WERE it.
HA



We ate lunch at the famous Pink's Hot Dogs.
I got the David Hasslehoff (Dog, pastrami, sauerkraut, swiss cheese and mustard)
I also got the Steve Gormet (Coleslaw and tomatoes)

Ana got the spicy sausage and a sour cream with onions.
They were all very good. They even have a free valet there?!?



We also visited the Le Brea Tar Pits.
Its hard to get comfortable in a city that is oozing tar all the time.

I would love it.
I'm too excited to sleep.
Drove straight to Las Vegas.

Keep on dancin'
Tim

Santa Barbara

I do not like flying.
It is a great way to get out west in six hours, but I still don't like it.

Flew into Los Angeles and rented a car, they gave us a convertible Mustang but after sitting in it for 30 seconds I said no way.
We ended up with a Ford Explorer with navigation (Betsy)
Betsy got us there and back like no other. Before we travel again I will seriously consider buying on of these devices, You NEVER get lost.
We hot-footed it to Santa Barbara because the show time was 6PM.



Nice 70 mile drive down the PCH. California is so laid back. Instead of STOP painted at stop signs and traffic lights it says WAIT HERE.
Here is a picture of the Pacific outside our hotel room. Very nice clean rooms, very friendly staff, and the most beautiful landscape and flowers.

Kickoff Weekend

Took my youngest son Ted to his first NFL game.
He hugged MANY cheerleaders, ate like a king (NY strip steak and shrimp) a pirate threw him beads, and he got a new Bucs shirt.

On the way home he said " Dad that exceeded all my expectations".
WOW I guess I did alright this weekend.
Oh and by the way Bucs 17 Browns 14

Best Dad Ever,
Tim

No Time

Been a VERY long time for posting anything.
The temps have been very hot combined with thousands of dollars of rebates for new air conditioning systems and that means little time for computer work.
FPL rebates.
Manufactures rebates.
Federal tax credits.
And the new Florida cash for clunkers.
Rebate totals can be up to $5,495.00
WOW


Here are a few pictures of Martin County South Pop Warner Midget Football Team.
This year we have a very good group of kids.
Some of the biggest kids on the team have never played ball before.
Love teaching the "big guys" how to use their strength.


Hopefully it won't be so long before I post again.
Don't forget my wife and I will be out of town Sept. 20 to Sept. 28th.
We will have a few people covering for us and everything will go very smooth.

Keeping everything balanced,
Tim

FREE

Tuesday night June 29th at 7pm on Sirius 32 or XM 57 Further will be broadcasting live from Penn's Peak Pennsylvania.
I'll be kicked back, with a cold beverage of my choice, and the stereo (hi-fi) way too loud.

Oh yea by the way, work has been very hectic. Don't know were to go next.
Tim

Just A Little Bit Further.

Has anyone noticed that it has been a little warm for the last few days?



Our cat Drip/Draino loves to play in and around water. Sits by facet trying to figure out how to turn on.



Added a third night in Red Rocks. Going for 6 in 7.

The wheel is turning
and it can't slow down.
You can't let go
and you can't hold on.
You can't go back
and you can't stand still.
If the thunder don't get you
then the lightning will.

I vote for a siesta when its over 90 degrees.
Tim

Did I Hear Someone Say Hot?

3 pm in a Hobe Sound attic.
139 degrees.
That WILL melt some brain cells.
Dreaming of a snowball fight.
Tim

Might As Well, Might As Well

If we are going to go that far, we might as well hit Santa Barbara up for Monday night too.

Go West Young Man

Summer has hit and all hell has broken loose.
New helper on a quick path to a mechanic, Justin is a fantastic addition to Grateful Air Conditioning. I look forward to teaching him something new daily.

The tour dates my wife and I have been looking for is here and we picked up the first half of our west coast tour.
Saturday we will get the Red Rocks tix.

Fly to Los Angeles for one night at the Greek, drive to Las Vegas the next night for a show at the Joint, take a night off and get to Denver for two nights at Red Rocks.

Acting like a 20 year old again, all new towns, states and venues for Ana.

May the wind shift to the east,
Tim

A new addition to the family.

I found a very nice 6 foot by 10 foot utility trailer for work.
It is going to make change-outs so much easier.
I plan on a real bright and bold painting om all sides.
Can't be a sneakin around town all quiet.



First week or two of "summer" when it gets 89 or higher outside is when all hell breaks loose.
If you look close enough to our phones you will see smoke coming out of them.
Hang on to your britches, Were going to have SCORCHER this year.






We have a big concert run coming up for us in the next few months.
Pick This on Friday in Stuart at the Lyric.
Ian Andersons Jethro Tull June in Boca.
Carlos Santana and Stevie Winwood in Aug. in WPB.
Roger Waters performing THE WALL in November in Fort Lauderdale. (I think I listened to that album 2 or 3 times.
Scarring the Children January 2011.

Stay hydrated,

I Told Ya So

Year after year.
When the weather is nice, I say Hey lets get it looked at.
Not many listen, they wait till it's hot.
Let's call Tim, he's probably just waiting by the phone for my call today.
HA HA HA
That's funny.

Tim

Warming Up Now

Some people try to install a system, but most of the time they just throw it on the "big enough" slab and stretch the wire.
Its all good, isn't it?



Couple of bags of concrete, 12 inches off of the house (code) and a new electric wire.
Now were starting to look professional.



This air handler is magically hanging off the wall or that's a little more like off of a closet.
Hope the plumber does not need to get to the hot water tank.



Lets hang her with some all thread and now we can get in the closet.



Just another day of doing it right.

Fillin the cooler with ice,
and wearin a sweat band again.
Tim

Fort Clinch State Park

Five days camping on the river and beach.
The food was killer and the weather even better.
I don't think I need to write anymore.












Till next time,
