  Ok, so I went to have the a/c looked at.. again. The leak causes all of my precious r134a to leak out of the car and into the atmosphere. Now, before you get all greenpeace on me, r134a is supposed to be non harmful to the ozone and all.. That is why any joe schmoe can buy it. And it is cheap. But not if you have to refill it every day. Ok, so they put the car up on the rack to take a look at it and all... There is a seal that is leaking. I'm thinking, good news.. just a seal. But then it gets worse.
Much worse. Turns out that my car has an a/c part infamous for getting rusty and trapping leaves in a pool underneath it. I guess that is what happened. The parts alone would be about 360. With labor and all it would be about 600. RRRrrrr.. So, it's already August, and I've already dealt with most of it. It will be really hard to keep going in August and the beginning of September without it, but I just didn't want to spend that much on it right now. So I'm going to sweat instead. Good trade off? Probably not. But I don't have to go to the spa to use a sauna. I just need to hit rush hour traffic and let the pounds melt away. Blaugh.
