the hunt is on!!!

And I'm done!

The closest I could find a motor was an hour and a half away. But they did
not open until tomorrow....

So I called, Scammy (hated to bother him on a Sunday), a buddy who does
furnace work...He told me where I could get a motor locally, but again not
until Monday...tomorrow.

Scammy even checked his garage for a spare motor but he had none...Now, the
company he worked for did have motors but it was like $379...I can easily
wait until Monday. After all, I was prepared for Y2K so this is nothing....

A few minutes later, Scammy calls back and tells me his brother works for a
local Supply company and that they charge $50 to special open for
emergencies....could I do $20 cash?

I said no, but I would do it for $25!!!

Long story short...New motor, new condenser and picked up a humidifier
filter while I was there for a grand total of $125.49.

A little soldering and the furnace is up and running....it's nice to have a
good bit of luck on occasion isn't it?

It's always better to be lucky...
