Eating cold food from the fridge rather than cooking anything.. (yesterday was hummus with chips for lunch and dinner was a whole grain sandwich from the Starbucks cooler). re: the car not sure what it's set on. (I don't have my own car).

Originally Posted By avromark 45 mph seems slow, if it wasn't for the new Lieberal provincial government our speed limits would be 120 km/h.

Is it your compressor or do you just need a recharge. I swear i'm spoiled without a/c I don't know how I'd survive.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight yes, it's my compressor. I've been without it for so long it doesn't bother me anymore. I have central air in the house and most places have air out here so being in my truck isn't all that bad. Actually on Ball road that leads to Disneyland drive in Anaheim the speed limit is posted at 40 mph. I usually go 40 -45. Never over 45 on Ball Rd though, as I don't want to get into an accident or get a ticket.
Originally Posted By ReadingMom I wish I had a thermostat! We had two wall heater....one in the living room and one in the hallway.

It's a wall unit and it's old and loud but works really well. On particularly uncomfortable nights the kids bring a blanket and pillow into our room and sleep on the floor with the air conditioner running. Other than that we just use regular fans and one ceiling fan. We have looked into central heating but we having some other upgrades we want done on our house first. We just have a regular air conditioner and heater on our van.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I have central air at home and we always have it set at 75. During the winter we set our thermostat at 71 during the day and 65 while we are sleeping. We don't do that with the air conditioning because unlike heating, it seems like once a house gets hot it is REALLY hard to cool it off again. I figure we are better off just leaving it at 75 24x7.

If you don't mind using premium gas and want a lady driven green 04 Sienna (bought the first month the "new" Sienna's came out) it's still probably at the Hyundai dealer. It's funny how a premium product like the Sienna has manual air conditioning (regular type) and a Hyundai van has 3 zone electronic. Does anyone else here feel that you get "spoiled" as you get things and hard to go back to the "old way" Ie: washing dishes by hand versus dishwasher.
