So, today’s research challenge is to figure out why an air conditioning unit ices over.
Update: Anwer – I knew this. It’s either 1) low coolant – ie. leak or 2) the cold air return is blocked

My favorite television show is Lost. My 2nd favorite is Boston Legal. One of my favorite characters on Boston Legal is Alan Shore portrayed by James Spader (starred in Stargate the movie).
So I have this new anger management plan. Whenever a situation arises with the children, or a phone call (call), or anything else, particularly if I feel myself starting to boil, I pause and ask myself, "What would Alan Shore do?" I did this for several weeks with much success before confiding my plan with my wife. Now she is aware and periodically calls out, "you’re doing it now!" with a grin. I tilt my chin up slightly, give a Mona Lisaesque smile, and reply, "of course I am."
This morning I forgot to ask, "What would Alan Shore do?" It really does make a difference! So, next time the tension hits, just ask, "What would Alan Shore do?"

Do-over!
I’ve started this day on a bad note. I’m going to lie down for 30 seconds, change clothes, and start over.

I am convinced that there are no air conditioner repair people that know what they are doing in Knoxville. Looks like I’m about to have HVAC to my list of skills.
