After a couple of weeks of my A/C not cooling as well as it used to, I knew I needed a professional. Knowing my buddy newt (Myke, who lives about 120 miles/2+ hours away) was an A/C expert, I figured I'd talk to him about finding someone reliable over here. Here's kinda how that went: me: Do you know anyone over here that does A/C? newt: I'll be over Saturday with my tools OMG....WTF! newt arrived with Sue (Janet was happy about that  ). Jawed a bit and 'we' went to work. In my own defense, I was the best apprentice and the pic below PROVES it (check out the shady area on newt!)  Needless to say, my A/C works perfectly now. In my life, I have found very few guys that I would call my brother. Myke, you rock.

My first thought upon seeing that picture was, "Aw, look at the happy couple..."

See if Newt will make a service call to Rob in NH. His AC was making a lot of noise.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
