    is that a hack to help it last longer, or is it a way the pro's can avoid a trip to the supply house if they dont have the right one? Comments sound like its avoiding a trip.

    I dont know if this was original or not, it was in there when I bought the house. I replaced it with one from a supply house 2 years ago, which was different. The one that I ordered and put on the shelf and installed last night was the exact same as the one I found in it initially. I already ordered the same replacement.

    I finally had to give in and turn the air conditioner on yesterday. That is the first time we've ever run it this early in the season and I hope this is not telling us what the summer will be like.

    On the other hand, it is very humid today but much cooler. Frost predicted for a large area of MI this weekend but looks like it should miss us here.

    Avoiding a trip...cap should be replaced with exact same or within +/- 5%.
    OEM cap size should be on a data tag somewhere there...

    Short answer is yes! In my case, I couldn't find the proper size dual capacitor readily available and in talking with the electrical shop pro, he told me how to do it and that it will likely last longer. That was the last time I seen the two jumpered capacitors under the hood of my AC. I kept the original dual capacitor for the part number if this two unit ever failed but in 15-16 years I haven't had to look at it.

    Well, I rarely have to help mow, but we are still on "covid 19 schedule" and mowing is part of my duties for now.
    But to answer your question, municipal water utilities maintenance.

    I have seen several of these centenarians from all over the world who survived Covid-19 in the news over the past few months. During this time, many younger people have succumbed to the virus. The one thing these people around the 100 years of age have in common is that they were all exposed to and survived the the 1918 Spanish Flu. I have to wonder if their immunity to the Spanish Flu has carried them through once again?

    I had an ongoing conversation with my father for decades on our genealogy, one thing that came up commonly was diet between my grandparents (1905 &1907) food, Dad's food, and the food I grew up on. Stark difference!

    My nieces school did that about a month ago. All the participants decorated their cars for the kids. They had a route that they mapped out to where the kids lived. Of course not all the children lived in town so they included areas that the kids folks could come and park and the kids could get out of their cars to wave. I believe 60 cars participated including towns fire truck. I love what they are doing for the kids.
