Working at the cooling corp today

This place reminds me a bit of my hometown where it is pretty much sunny every day of the year.

The only difference is here it is a lot cooler and has seasons, unlike back home where it is hot in the summer and a bit less hot in the winter.

I think the only cool months back home are January and February, other than that it is pretty much blazing hot year round. I moved here eight years ago to chase a dream and it has brought me so many fond memories and I’m happy I made the move. Heating and cooling corporations in town keep me busy doing air conditioning work and furnace repairs most of the year. But I only work about 15 hours a week so that I can put all my focus and energy into this music dream. Our band is pumping out songs at the HVAC business where we record in the back storeroom where the acoustics are great and nobody bothers us. We put out about five songs a month on average and by the end of the year will make our first album with the top ten songs from our set list. The HVAC contractor believes in us so much that he cut back our HVAC tech hours so we can pour our energy into this band and make the dream come true. What is the dream? To play in local businesses and travel to other towns doing shows and making people happy with our fun and original music, in climate controlled venues of course.

Happy Sunday edition to that local business

We want to thank the church store where the priest lives and lets us play music without being bothered by the cops.

We have just one spot left where we can play music and they don’t stop us, which is in the back of the church where the pastor lives and the thrift store is located.

The pastor is so nice and told us to keep playing but to please not play really late, which is fine with us and besides, we don’t want to have a pastor mad at us, that wouldn’t be good. The local business where the priest lives above is open on weekdays and has nice air conditioning where we can escape the heat when we are playing. We will play later today so I need to focus on my online work and get it done so I have it all finished before we head out on the street to jam. I work at the HVAC business tomorrow so we can’t stay up too late tonight playing by the local business where we love to play. We will play for about two hours tonight and I hope my shoulders are going to hold out and still be good tomorrow for the ductwork that I have to do all day. It isn’t easy working on air ducts if your shoulders hurt, so I can’t play too much tonight or tomorrow is going to be a long day working on the commercial HVAC system for a customer. I think the job will take two days and after that I can focus on the band again.

Listening to funny songs and cooling down

I just spent the past hour and a half working on songs online and now I have to switch hats and start this work.

  • I’ll have to rest my eyes some because that was some intense screen time working on the songs this morning when I woke up.

Most of my energy goes into this band and who knows if it is going to go anywhere but you have to try right? We’re just making a whole bunch of songs and seeing which ones stick, which is the only way to really know which are good. My a/c system is now cooling me down while I do this work for the next few hours in my climate controlled office where I can work in peace. Music is like a big deep rabbit hole that consumes your whole life if you want it to, which is fine with me because it brings me joy. Working on heating and cooling systems at the HVAC business can be kind of boring when you’ve done it for so many years like I have, which is where music comes in. Music brings me hope and just makes me feel good, so why not do it all the time? My new contractor friend is just as consumed with it as I am while he tries to run the heating company and keep his band going. I guess eventually I’ll just do the music thing and will have to stop with the HVAC tech work and all the local business stuff so I can make this dream a reality.

Getting some energy saving tips later

The skies are filling up with fluffy gray clouds, which hopefully won’t last too long so I don’t get rained out later when I am hitting the streets.

I guess it is just some passing clouds and it should be clear and sunny later when we go out to do our jam.

I just got back from the beach and I still have this pretty girl’s image in my brain. Maybe I need to go back and talk to her because she was alone and she is too pretty to ignore. Should I give it a shot? My local contractor friend hits on every woman he sees, something that I don’t like to do when working at the HVAC company each day like he does. He just doesn’t care about dignity or anything and will hit on any woman he wants. I’ve always been more reserved when it comes to talking to women and prefer to have a long term relationship than jumping around all the time. I meet women in the heating and cooling corp all the time but I have a certain taste and will keep doing my HVAC tech work there till she walks in the door one day. Hopefully her name is Kat and she comes back to me one more time so we can make a nice life together like I thought we were going to do! Kat was a cooling worker and we met when I worked for the local contractor back in the day and I am still waiting for her to come back to me. Patience.

Keeping cool with a nice cooling device

I have my little fan on me while I write these stories.

I have a nice relaxing office, which is a far cry from the corporate world I used to work in when I was an engineer, and I am so happy not to be working in that stuffy environment anymore with all those type A personality engineers and bosses.

I can work at my own speed here, in my pajamas if I want, and it is so calm and relaxing it almost doesn’t feel like I am working at all. I listen to some calm music while writing HVAC system stories about air con systems and gas heating devices. I never would have guessed that I would be working overseas in my own flat in my pajamas without a boss breathing down my neck. I used to be a local contractor running my own HVAC company and was working so many hours I had no time to do anything else but come home and sleep. I would get home some nights, well most nights, at 8:30pm when the sun was down and would have zero energy to do anything but eat and go to sleep. I would run my air conditioning system and make my room really cold so I could sleep well and wake up rested for another day of heating and cooling work for the local business I was running. Now I am a musician in a band over here in Europe making songs and having a blast doing so. Chase those dreams while they are heating up.

Heating business opening soon

Today is going to be a really easy day except for a short back and biceps workout at some point this afternoon.

I am letting my voice rest and won’t be talking all day till we meet up and play music later.

I need to get in a workout though because I haven’t done any back and biceps for about a week now. I like to do four days a week of working out, but I lost my workout partner to love and I’ve been playing in the band a lot lately and haven’t had time. But climate control or not, I will workout in my flat or out in the heat where the temps have been heating up quite quickly the past few weeks. It is going to start getting really hot out soon and I will be in my flat most of the day till 6pm to avoid the strong summer sun. I will run the air con system today and test out the new HEPA filter I bought last week at the local HVAC store. I think it is going to help a lot with my asthma because I am allergic to dust and pollen and it can make it tough to breathe sometimes. I think the new washable air con filter is going to do the trick and help me with my breathing issue. I am also going to go to the pharmacy today and get an inhaler in case I have an asthma fit when we are getting ready to play in the streets later on this evening.

Keeping my cool working on heaters

Tomorrow is Thursday as well as I need to get to bed early tonight because my buddy and I will be playing songs for a few hours next to the church

I am almost done with my workday as well as it is only 1:30pm, which means I get more time to meditate as well as do yoga. I also have to go to the fruit sit as well as get a bunch of pears as well as other fruits. It will be an easy night too because I will just do a short workout with my friend as well as then go watch the sunset on the pier as well as relax. Tonight I will really watch some documentary about the sea with my cats as well as chill out in my little office. I will be comfortable with my heating component keeping us all sizzling while my buddy and I snuggle under some blankets beside the media air purification system. I like to watch things about nature, as well as documentaries are cool because I usually learn something from seeing them. I periodically watch infomercials about Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C component as well as sizzling water heaters, however that can get kind of boring, so I like to put in a nice nature flick periodically too. Tomorrow is Thursday as well as I need to get to bed early tonight because my buddy and I will be playing songs for a few hours next to the church. The local supplier near the church is going to spend my money us to do a show in two more weeks, which is nice because they have a fireplace next to the stage heating the performers while they bear their hearts to the audience. It should be a great show as well as if it goes well, which it will, they will spend my money us more as well as have us do a show there every week, however life is great as well as getting better.

Having fun working on cooling devices

I went to the bank as well as got my account fixed as well as I am so relieved now, as there had been a few months of problems with my account however now it is fixed as well as all is well again.

  • I am going to write two more articles as well as then my buddy and I am doing my little yoga session followed by an hour of meditation in front of a sand timer.

I put the hourglass in front of me as well as sit for an hour while I meditate as well as watch the sand pass through the glass as I empty my mind over as well as over. Heating pumps through the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system as I quietly learn patience as well as quiet my mind, which creates a better life in the end as patience is pretty much needed all of the time in life! Patience helps when doing Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C component toil when things aren’t going as planned, as well as it also helps when carrying a heavy heat pump up a bunch of stairs in a building that has no elevator. I have been meditating for about 15 years as well as I have noticed that I am not only more patient however I am not as angry as I used to be. My cooling tech friend helped me get into meditation while my buddy and I worked at the Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C supplier doing HVAC duct sales as well as service for clients in town. Now I do it every day as well as it is like brushing my teeth with the nice habit I got into with meditation as well as I have my friend to thank. If I didn’t do Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C component toil at that local supplier I may never have started.

Air purifiers as well as fat cats

The Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C rep who gave me the cats told me to not feed them too much as my buddy and I diagnosed this heating component one day, however I forgot what he said as well as now I am stuck with a fat cat… I feel after a few weeks he will lose most of the blubber as well as then my buddy and I can start feeding him a bit more food

I had to put Mr Fatcat on a diet recently because I noticed he is gaining too much weight. I have two cats as well as the male cat is a hog as well as eats all of the food, saving genuinely little for his sister who is now too skinny! So I have put Fatcat on a diet now as well as he isn’t genuinely excited about it. He is constantly waiting next to the food bowl as well as meowing when I walk by. But he needs to lose some weight because he is just getting too plump. The local supplier where I got the food told me to not feed them too much because some cats like Fatcat will just keep eating all day long. Now he sits on the media air purification system as well as waits for me to walk by the food bowl as well as feed him, however it isn’t happening like he wants. He has a genuinely cute meow, sounding like a little kitten as well as not a cat, as well as it makes me smile when I hear it. The Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C rep who gave me the cats told me to not feed them too much as my buddy and I diagnosed this heating component one day, however I forgot what he said as well as now I am stuck with a fat cat… I feel after a few weeks he will lose most of the blubber as well as then my buddy and I can start feeding him a bit more food. I will go to the heating dealership this week as well as grab an cooling system as well as furnace filter for my Heating, Ventilation, as well as A/C system, as well as then my buddy and I will feed Fatcat tonight when I’m back.

Furnace filter for sale

Bank in an hour for some heating

I am going to the bank soon to sort some stuff out with my account plus I assume I’ll bring some rock n roll with me while I wait.

It could be a half hour wait till my turn plus having some nice music would help the time pass quicker. I could also bring my computer plus do some writing work while I am there so it isn’t a total waste. I have to pay my rent in the next three days plus need to pay it from this account, which I am having trouble with so I need their help! The heating in the bank is entirely nice so it makes it a little nicer when you sit by their heating component plus stay warm. It won’t be a big deal doing the bank trip today, plus the toughest part is just walking down there from my flat. I saw a sign on the street of a furnace filter for sale by someone plus I am going to check it out because my HEPA filter in my component is shot plus needs to be replaced. I don’t know how much money they are asking for the thing however I assume it will be cheaper than buying a new one from the store. The HVAC supplier near me has a sale on them too, however I want to take a look at this used one to see what kind of shape it is in plus if it is a HEPA filter. I am off now to the bank plus then to check out that filter, see ya.
