    Yes, Arizona has many beautiful features, and I loved all 7 years that I lived in Phoenix and Tempe. But after awhile I started missing the four seasons of the Midwest where I was raised - especially the Fall season in rural Illinois. Anyway, here I am back in Illinois, enjoying your videos and remembering many good times in AZ.

    And maybe find someone that could look at your AC which probably needs a compressor and drier,leak test and charged

    I love Oak Creek Canyon, my dad took me there when I was a child 55 years ago. It was one of my favorite places of the trip. There was no State Park back then but I always said it should be one when I was little. They always said there was an airplane that crashed and we would always look for the shiny wreckage up on the edge of the canyon (I could never see it). It is a beautiful place!

    We visited Slide Rock many years ago and nearly took a pratfall like that poor fella....until someone more experienced than us advised us to put on a pair of old socks when clambering on the wet rocks. How could that work? But it DID, like a charm. No more slippage.

    @MikeLockheart 3 місяці тому +6

    if the mechanic is that busy, and popular, it must be a good sign. That means he does good work, so everyone goes to him. sorta like a resturant, if it is packed always, they must have good food usually. but if you go to a resturant during lunch time and there dead, no customers.. something could be up with the food. LOL.

      It's like a paint shop. It will sit until the better paying work is done. They don't plan ahead. When the better paying work is done, you had better have your vehicle sitting in the parking lot. In the body shop business, it's referred to as "paint jail".
