I thought my wife was going to burst a blood vessel when she walked in.
Her face turned red and then purple, and I was sure she was going to have a stroke.
I had let her know I would be working on the air conditioning unit. She had said she didn’t want me to work on the air conditioning unit, and to let it go until the HVAC company came out. My thought was I could do the repair on the air conditioning unit. Why would I pay money to the HVAC company for something I could do? Paying the HVAC company was expensive, and I was trying to save us some money. When she came out back and saw my brother there, I was waiting for the steam to come out of her ears. She and my brother got along well, and they were friends as well as being in-laws. When I invite him over to help fix something, there is more horsing around then fixing. I knew we went back to our teen years instead of staying adults and getting the job done. If I were being honest, she probably had a good reason to be upset, and worry if we were going to do more harm than good to the air conditioning unit. Luckily, my sister-in-law had already told my brother to work on the air conditioning and get it repaired before we started with the beer and yucking it up. He was an excellent HVAC technician until we got together. She picked her keys back up and left until she was sure the AC unit was broken or repaired.
