Jurassic Lancer Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Ask the Crossmen, 27th Lancers, and Garfield Cadets alum...............they did many tours without A/C in their old buses.And for the last 2-3 weeks in '79, we had to cram 3 bus loads of mms into two busses without A/C -- heading south to Birmingham, AL. Ah, the good old days! Edited July 19, 2016 by Jurassic Lancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad did the same thing when I talked to him earlier. "Back in my day we didn't have car air conditioners!" :p I'm a delicate flower I guess.

Can you get one of those temporary AC tubes with the gauge you can buy at like any of the car part places? They just screw on to the AC valve on the engine, you add the freon or whatever they are using these days, and you're done. It doesn't permanently fix the problem, but it usually lasts awhile, since most AC issues are slow leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Very funny that in tonight's political coverage, I'm seeing a number of reports that read, essentially: "They're not booing, they're saying------" "------Actually, no, they're booing." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 They did not even come close to remotely disappointing me. Will never ever forget that. Oh my God. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
