Since I don't have much news to report from the home front, I might as well talk about my air conditioner saga for a little while longer....
As, you, my readers know, I bought 2 air conditioners on a staggered schedule. The first AC was delivered several weeks ago, but came with a firmware flaw which prevents me from using the Wi-Fi link to control the device from my cell phone. This past Tuesday, I had the opportunity to talk with a nice service representative, and he got the process of getting updated firmware in motion. Today, I called to see what's up, and I spoke with him again.
Hopefully, by this time next week, I'll have two fully functional air conditioners being controlled from either my iPad or my Android phone.

I may have mentioned that I am replacing a semi-functional AC in my bedroom. Yes, it works, but I can't rely on it. So I'm spending the extra $1,000 to be sure that I have a working air conditioner that will last me several years. How do I know it is doing something? First, I've seen physical evidence that some cooling is going on: when I had the air filter touching the "cool-air radiator", I found that there was some ice on the filter. Second, I'm seeing an occasional water droplet drain from the air conditioner when I look at my unit from the outside.
Will I get my $1,000 worth when the new bedroom AC comes? I hope so.
PS: The bedroom AC unit was installed on Saturday, and it feels like it's cooling off the room much better than the old one. Additionally, it has the same Wi-Fi issues as the one in the living room.
