Shit, my knees get in the way of my posting all time BC.... *just messin wit chu*

Hello there Ho Bros.

Yes, well, I'm getting back into running and had to go see a doc about some serious knee pain I've had. What worried me was that it was in the same knee that I had some serious surgery on a few years back (meniscus repair and tumor removal/bone grafting of the femur).

He did some shit to it and it hurts like hell today.

On a side note, evaporative cooler is installed. Only took me about 7 hours today and 1 trip to Lowes to get a length of wire. With the new cooler on LOW, the house is now 71deg and 3 days ago, with our 30 year old cooler on HIGH, our house was 81deg. I'd say that is WELL worth the ~$940 I paid for parts and the ~$1k I saved by installing it myself.

I just got back from some trail jogging, I'm taking it easy. Earlier this year I was doing some jogging and I tweeked my knee because I did too much too fast. Watch out for rocks, holes, and yucca.

If you cleaned the old filters you could have saved 7 hours. SC's are nice till it goes over 80-85 then you're just adding humidity to the mix.

I put a brand new cooler pad on, two of them last summer (changed it half way through the summer). The water delivery system is pathetic, it was the old cylindrical style that is out of date and impossible to find parts for. I could never get the pad completely soaked, and the system was sized to 1400sqft, our house is 1700sqft (previous owners built two rooms onto the back of our house). Seriously, the coolest our house got last year was 78deg and that was with the cooler on high 24/7 from around April 1st until the end of September. It was LOUD!

Not to mention, I live in the desert where it gets over 100deg for weeks on end during the summer, and the humidity is always less than 10%, the evaporative coolers are the only way to go. AC is incredibly expensive down here, and our house isn't ducted for it, so it would cost around $8k to install AC, which might be in the budget in 5 years, but not now.

Also, that's a myth about swamp coolers adding humidity. If you are adding humidity to the house, you don't have enough windows open to exhaust the system.

I'm very glad I paid the extra 4k for A/C in our house.
