kevin_standleeThe good news is that its supposed to be cooler today, albeit still quite warm: 34°C (about 93° in old money), down from 38°C (100°F) yesterday.
The bad news is the the water pump on the swamp cooler died last night. Lisa says that hard-water buildup has jammed it, and it's not worth trying to fix. That means the machine is currently just a high-powered fan because it won't pump water into the pads that lead to evaporative cooling.
The less-bad news is that replacement pumps aren't too expensive, and according to Lisa, the worst part of replacing the pump is getting the screws that hold it in place to release due to the hard-water build-up.
The pump died last night too late for us to go over to Big R Ranch & Home and buy a new motor, but we will go and do it after work today. With any luck, we'll be back in business by tonight.
