:icon_cheers: OK so Carrie and I go to an open show at Cypress Gardens today. :dancer01: It was hotter then maybe two and a half hells. :ack2: Made Venice seem not too bad. So far so good right? Then they give out awards and we go home. :thumbsup: I can hear an Ice House calling me all the way from my frig.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: It's ok, cool is just a couple of miles down the road.

Get home,:vette: park "Goldie" in the garage, :vette: engage the Ice House properly (that's with my bare feet up and no shirt on like a true Florida boy) turn on NASCAR and start to cool off when.............:2232censored: from the garage comes a sound of a bursting hose and the attached hiss. Being the truly intelligent guy I obviously am, I did nothing until no more sounds emanated from the garage.:thumbsup:

Well then with my Ice House properly in hand I go "check it out". A close inspection reveals A/C oil blown out in that area under the motor on the floor.:eek: My vast investigative experience lead me to belive that if it was on the floor it probably came from above that (I'm tellin you I R 'specienced).:lmao:

As I look up I see an A/C hose from the back block of the compressor going down blown out the bottom side:thumbsdown: . Ya know who needs freon, or A/C oil or comfort and it is my duty to support the A/C repair trade so guess what I'm doin tomorrow?

Ken, ain't life grand?

Man that SUCKS, but :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: With Rob..:thumbsup:
Sounds to me like "Goldie" took care of her man before she Blew a Vessel!:thumbsup: :dancer01:
 
If you need, we are a full service AC shop with computerized evac/fill machine & all the parts you need nearby.:thumbsup:
 
OK worked out well in the long run.

Only damage (other then to my garage floor, ego and short term body temp) was a single blown 35 year old hose.:shrug01: Local shop pulled it and I took it to an A/C hose maker who made a new one on the spot. :thumbsup: Took it back to the shop and they installed, vac'd. and refilled the system. Less then 1/2 a day and under $250 total.

Good Goldie, good Goldie:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Ken:thumbsup:
