I fixed the A/C unit on my own
I didn’t have my tools with me, so I asked the lady at the front desk about having a handyman look at my AC unit, she said it would take a while, because they had to call in a heating and A/C business from the nearby town
I got fortunate during a local raffle, and won a weeklong stay at a dude ranch out west, if you don’t guess what that is, a “dude ranch” is an area working ranch, area hotel. It’s a tourist destination, where you can go to rough it just a little bit, and get your hands dirty alongside real cowgirls and cowboys, would I have paid cash for it? No way! But it was a free trip, so I went into it wanting to have a superb time – and I did. As outdated and rustic as the buildings are, the rooms are all air conditioned, with WIFI and flat screen TVs. Day by afternoon, I enjoyed our stay there a little bit more, and on the last evening there the cooling system in my room broke down. I didn’t have my tools with me, so I asked the lady at the front desk about having a handyman look at my AC unit, she said it would take a while, because they had to call in a heating and A/C business from the nearby town. I explained that I was a heating and A/C tech, and if I had a common toolkit I could get the thing finally working by myself in about 10 minutes. The regular handyman for the dude ranch came up to our room, and carefully watched me take the front panel off the AC equipment and get inside of it. By the time the cooling system was finally working again, the handyman was on the phone with his bosses, telling them they should hire me to work there!
