    The air quality is awful! The mountain just above my house is burning, they have no access to it other than by plane drop...no planes available.

    If I were you, I would check the booster itself. I have seen it where it was sucking the brake fluid out of the MC and ruining the seal. When that happened the booster weighed about 10 pounds more than it should have. It took a little while to figure out where the fluid had been going, since the level was dropping but there was no sign of a leak anywhere, of course.

    OK I'll splain it to you. Twice a month when it's my time on the schedule I open up my ports in the irrigation canal and for 5 hours the water will flow in and flood my yard. It costs about $70 a month to do it but thats cheap to keep 2 acres green in the desert. My trees love it too.

    Every once in a great while it will rain hard and this happens.

    During the hottest part of the day, a few minutes spent spraying water from a garden hose onto the roof will cool the attic (and the house) some, and help the AC catch up.
    Aww, go ahead and spray it on yourself, too.:banana:
