Fixing Evaporative Cooler

We’ve been having problems with our evaporative cooler. It’s just about fixed now. The water pump shorted and fried the controller. We have a new pump and new controller as of this evening. The fan only works on high speed, this will be debugged when HVAC contractor Gary F. has some time to work on it.

Stacy Eating

Our rat terrier Stacy can be a picky eater. This usually happens when she wants something other than her dog food.

Gary is experimenting with his new Phottix lights. Our Betty is standing on a boulder about 5 feet off the ground (I lifted her up) with the trees of Granite Creek in the background. I think Betty looks kind of regal in this photo.

Summer Arrives

Arizona summer

summer

Summer has arrived in Prescott, Az. 96, 99, 94 degrees is hot. Not Phoenix hot, but too hot for me.

We have been using our air conditioner for the past couple of days. Normally we use the evaporative cooler this time of year, the dry summer. The evap is not working, a service technician was here yesterday but he did not have all the parts required. Maybe today? Since we have the A/C it’s not a big deal.

We have 2 kinds of summer in Arizona, dry and wet. In dry summer, the humidity is low and so evaporative coolers work well, and the cost to run these is much less than A/C. Around the start of July wet summer begins with the monsoon season. Humidity is up, evaps stop being effective, so we have to switch to A/C.
