My A/C Broke

I was driving down to Torrance, when my A/C died.

It wasn't hot anymore, so I didn't notice at first... but there was no noise coming out of the vents. I clicked the A/C lever back and forth, but nothing.

I think it died.

Argh... is my car telling me it wants to retire? I wasn't planning on buying a new car for another year or so.

This is the second time my A/C died in the middle of summer. The first time was when I was driving up north on the I-5 with Erikku and Jimmy or Daisuke from the cycling team for a cycling race. You know how hot it gets on the I-5 in the middle of the day? Yeah, we drove through that section that smells like cow poop without the A/C. We almost died on the way up.

We decided to drive back down late at night, so we wouldn't die from the heat.
That time, the coolant evaporated because the mechanic who worked on installing the A/C forgot to put the cap back on. If any of us died during that drive, could he have been arrested for gross negligence?

But I don't think coolant's the issue this time.

Maybe the wires short circuited.
I could only hope.

New Glasses

I broke my glasses last Friday, so I went to COSTCO to order a new pair.

I wear my glasses while I sleep, so I like to get titanium frames since they can be bent back into place multiple times without the metal breaking. But I couldn't find really good titanium glasses.

So I settled w/ a Guess frame with bendy arms.
But when I was ready to place my order, the COSTCO rep said the glasses are too small.

I didn't know glasses have sizes, but the number at the end of the SKU number is the width of the glasses.

Like this one is 46.
Too small for your fat head, he said.

I explained that I have bad eyes & need smaller lenses so they're not so heavy. And bulky along the edges.

But I relented and picked a pair that's a little bit wider.

This is the one I ordered.

The glasses are a wee bit bigger than those I've had before... hopefully the far edge (outer edge) isn't too thick. Or it'll make my face look curved through the glasses... and I don't like that. Bleah.

Vu & Dave Join WiiFit

While I was gone for the three day weekend, Vu and Dave joined the Yama Fama WiiFit family.

Apparently Vu scored high on the ski slalom and Dave scored high on the Table Tilt. I can't even get past Level 6 on that one!

Vu fixed the Wii wifi connection & now we can share Mii's with Ards and Dee.
We need to get new Miis of Allen & Steve next.
