Near the old Dominion Foundry there are a bunch of warehouses slated for demolition. Part of the new West Don Lands development site. Im a bit sad to see this old warehouse come down but a quick peek inside revealed nothing that exciting. One of the strange things about this place is a door that was once the entrance to a business. The doors message is Inverted. It says..
"Dont Let The Bastards Wear You Down"
Update: 2012 - This building is now demolished
My message: "You speak for all of us now...we're standing right behind you! Now I won't have to lie and tell the French people that I'm Canadian!"
(yes, I did that in Paris last year. And yes, I realize that not everybody stands behind the man, and probably never will. But to say "64.6 million of us are standing right behind you, and hopefully those McCain supporters will come around eventually" kind of dilutes the message, don't you think?)
Forgive me, it was a busy day and we were leaving the kids to their own devices in the evening. Although they're old enough I still worry.

It's HOT out! But that doesn't mean you should have to break a sweat in your Cadillac. I invested some time into making that a reality once again for this car.
This car was "retrofitted" to R134a in 2004. From the time that I owned it, performance was forgivable until the outside temperature got into the mid 80s and above, or parking in the sun for an extended period of time. Basically it exhibited all of the flaws of a converted car. When it was really hot out, the AC was a bad joke, especially when driving slowly. After exhausting everything else, the only choice was to go back to R12.
I had never done any real AC work besides the occasional charge with a can until the air coming out "felt good." I wanted to have an AC shop do everything, but no one in my area does anything with R12 anymore. I was definitely nervous, as, despite it sucking, the 134 system didn't leak at all. I found that it really wasn't that bad, and I would do it again if I had to.
This is what everything looked like before I started. The compressor was changed in 1991...R4's are not known to live that long so it was definitely going to be replaced. I bought an ancient but new Harrison 200 on Ebay some years ago in preparation for this. Here it is getting ready oiled and ready to spin for the first time in decades! Hopefully it will hold up.
At some point the evaporator core was replaced, evidenced by the black goop sealing the box. I wasn't sure of it's condition so I was going to replace it too (it wan't in bad shape and was probably a waste to anyone who might be considering undertaking something like this). I'm glad I did it because the way the box was sealed really wasn't the best and was probably sacrificing some efficiency. I didn't take any pictures of the box itself, but the sealant that was used was a nightmare to remove completely. This was really the worst part of the job, as whoever did it last must have bought stock in the sealant company. Even the drain was filled full of the stuff
So I'm not sure how exactly it was draining before (it did drain though, no standing condensate) There is a bolt that holds the bottom of the HVAC box to the firewall, just about where the passenger's left foot would rest that goes behind the carpet, through to the engine bay. This bolt was missing, and the box was surprisingly...you guessed it, glued to the firewall with about a 1/2 tube of sealant! I was able to find a nut and bolt that was appropriate to hold the box as it was designed to. While I was behind the carpet, I also noticed this.
This rubber plug has 3 vacuum lines running through it. Mine was loose, so much so that if one shined a light at the firewall from under the hood it would come through the car. It was a bitch to get a grasp on and seat back into position. I had no idea that it was there, much less that it was loose and causing an air leak into the car right by one of the manifold-to-Y pipes. I only mention this because I told my buddy about it who owns a 1985 car and his was just kinda dangling there like mine was. Worth looking at if you own a car of this era. I had to use two pair of tiny needlenose to put enough power on it to pop it back in.
There was nothing really wrong with the lines or condenser, so they would be flushed out, 134a-dapters removed, mineral oiled and put back into service. At an HVAC pro's recommendation, I used RX11 AC flush. Nasty stuff, but did a great job. It is really important to get the 134a oil out of the system, along with any garbage that may have accumulated over the years. My job was made easier by tons of green dye that was in the system.
The orifice tube is supposed to collect physical contaminants. They really shouldn't be that dirty, provided you're not working with a car that had a blown compressor. No idea how old this tube was, but it was not bad.
Once I had the system flushed, I put everything back together using one of those AC o-ring kits. My mechanic checked it for leaks, and then vacuumed it down. Finally I was ready to charge! I was excited, and regrettably forgot to take pictures of the process (I even bought a gauge set). Anyway, the only one more excited than me was the car!
Can you see the cold?
Vent temps are in the mid 40's around town, NYC. Figure 90 +/- 5 and very humid. On the highway, I've seen as low as 37, but no lower. Of note, these measurements were taken from the center vents using a digital temp sensor, not a vent thermometer. Regardless, of the vent temp, the car itself is actually cool inside which is something I remember about R12 that even newer cars that have much more consistent performance seem to lack. Ice coming out of the vents, but you have to be in the airflow to actually be cool. Not so anymore. I'm so pleased with this, and kinda shocked that it worked! To anyone contemplating AC work, I recommend watching this guy's videos, especially this one

It helped me out a lot (read: gave me confidence to tear into an air conditioning system) I'll be back with an unrelated update sometime soon, and I don't mean 3 months soon like last time!
Your THREE Promotional messages will go in this shot little Funny video. For example: first message "Do you like tacos?" second message "Do you like spicy tacos?!" third message "Then eat at Sam's Taco Shop!" This is a sure fire way to get your message across to any audience. If you are unhappy with the first version I will provide ONE revision. File will be provided as an HD QuickTime .mov.
Hero has more of an Asian face, Message has more of a Barbie Asian face. But both are from the same production period.
When I took the top off of some of my favorite Black Raspberry ice cream tonight I was confronted with this cryptic message.
This month, I was close to hitting 10K Direct Messages on Twitter.
It was pretty exciting cause I've sent around 14K DMs and received around 10K. As you can see I'm only 9 tweets away from 55K and everything else looks normal but that DM count is only 856?
What did Twitter change?

All the trucks in India have these little messages painted on the back. I had to ask someone what "Use Dipper at Night" means -- it means flashing your lights from high beams to low.
