    Everytime you walk into a store to shop with your wife. You look up to check out the duct layout and note the stat locations.
    Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things, I am tempted to think there are no little things!

    I'm definitely guilty of that one. And I don't even work in the field...

    When your out shopping or at a restuarant and you see a white rogers or lux on the wall and shake your head in disappointment.
    If you didn't do it right the first time it probably makes sense that your here asking the right way to do it now

    When you look over at your customers neighbor's condenser after you just fixed his on a 95 degree day....and see that the suction line has an inch of ice around it....and a smile comes across your face.....

    When at a get together you just can't help but notice how the A/C isn't keeping up well with the heat load. Beer in hand you investigate

    You try to strike a deal with the bar owner "say just keep an open tab for me and I will fix that walk in"
    "Do not let what you can't do interfere with what you can do"

    "Do what you can do the best that it can be done and no one will ever know what you can't do"

    You're sitting in a movie theater waiting for the movie to start...and you can't help but hear the RTU compressors humming overhead.

    You can tell a recip and a scroll apart just by sound alone.

    There's a thermometer stuck in one of the dash a/c outlets of your truck...permanently.

    You walk into a friend, relative or neighbor's house and your eyes immediately start scanning for the supply and return registers, what type they are, and grimace if they're placed wrong and/or are the wrong type.

    You're inside a huge, cool, domed stadium on a hot day, and you can't stop wondering how all that space is air-conditioned.

    You see your wife/girlfriend freezing in a cold draft when you're both sitting at a table or booth in a restaurant, and your eyes immediately find the source of the offending breeze (offending to her, anyway. You're probably happy as a lark )

    You want to know the types of units cooling/haeting whatever place you are in and will do all you can to find out.

    The queen wants to know why I shout out "superheat" while in the moment of passion. I told her that its my pet name for her

    She said that I also say "TXV". I told her that I was speaking French.

    If she calls me "dude", the marriage is done.

    I always want to go feel the temp of the condenser air discharge. If it' too hot I wonder if there are hot air leaks from th attic, if too cool low indoor airflow?

    Indoors I can't resist feeling the airflow & estimating its velocity & temperature.

    Always estimating the terminal velocity of the airflow at the occupant level & its percent of RH.

    Then you can tell her your speaking Spanish when you call out, "Manual J!"
