@redenigma just have a couple questions:
Where's the rest of the beagle,
What in the name of Dog happened in that bathtub

I've known this HVAC service person since they were a zygote. Drove an hour to me, popped open the broken AC, took some readings with I swear a tricorder, replaced a capacitor(!) and cool air doth issue forth. Then proceeded to inspect every bit of the house, drew a 3d model of it and sketched 2 different replacement systems.
Good little zygote.

@sfleetucker I wear their previous incarnation's hat everyday. Getting a bit ratty.

@Beanc @XSGeek that, then if it's gnarly I'll add neosporin and for a few days a light dressing (non-stick gauze and vet wrap) just so they stop messing with it until it dries out.

HVAC crew has scrambled a truck! We're at 90F indoors and contrary to medical lore I have seen dogs sweat. They're not just wet because I hosed them off. Maybe.

@Alfred how long can I safely hold a container of ice between my thighs in order to cool off, it's so damned hot right now.

@Alfred if I hold a container of ice between my thighs how long before I pass out.

If you are interested in urbanism, walkable cities, Japan, just anything that isn't That Other Thing:

Younger dog has taught older dog the joys of ice.
Much crunching.

This heat is stupid, who picked it? Why was I not consulted.

@Beanc hey there's a content warning button geez

Seriously though get rid of all that and wear a good mask while you do

@mcfate @northernbassist yeah that man is going to get a fatal, affectionate swat. It's going to happen.

@Beanc have to empty it a lot, fair warning, but extra bonus benefit is greatly reduces the amount of roller cleaning on the regular vacuum.

@Beanc always walking around with a hand vacuum. Each fluff pile is named and then removed. You will be missed, Spotson. And you, uhm, Fluffilla.

@Route10 that's perfect, your own personal mosquito control service
