My spouse Ed rolled her eyes and laughed at me last week. I got misty-eyed when I watched them heave my seasoned air conditioning machine onto the back of their truck. I had a more current A/C machine in the backyard, and I knew it was going to supply us with cold air for years to come. Ed and I would no longer wake up to humidity so thick you could wear it. Ed and I wouldn’t worry about coming to the household to not have air conditioning. It distraught me a bit about what they were going to do with the seasoned air conditioning unit. It had been in the backyard for almost twenty years, and I didn’t want it to be discarded like a seasoned scrub rag. I hoped it would be refurbished and sold, however I could not be sure of that. Ed and I kept the outer part of the air conditioning machine in good shape, however there was nothing Ed and I could about the mechanical part of it. Through the years, it had kept us cool and comfortable, however not so much in the last 2 or three years. It was costing more to keep the air conditioning running than it would to have a more current one installed. It was an easy decision to make, however when I saw them heave it on the truck like it was trash, I felt sad. Ed put her arm around my shoulders and walked me into the house! As soon as Ed and I walked in, I could feel the cooling relief of the current air conditioning unit. There was no more humidity, and it ran so quietly I forgot it was running.
