BLRI day 8

Hillsville, VA

Well it didn't start out too bad... but it ended with another delay. We were having an average day of collection, good amount of errors, couple of computer restarts... then we started smelling smoke. Then we saw smoke... voltages started dropping.

Pulled over, shut everything off. Van was running fine, belts were ok, smell kinda went away. We decided to drive to a Ford dealer to have them check things out.

Got there and per usual, were a little intimidated by the van. So after talking on the phone with our support and describing the situation, they suggested checking the air conditioning or more specifically the auxiliary air conditioning. We did and that was definitely the culprit. Our condenser has likely gone bad and now we need to find a new one.

So not really sure what we breathed in when the condenser conked out, but it wasn't good.

And I'm still sick... have to pack and get up early tomorrow to drive to Winston-Salem and hopefully get this thing fixed ASAP.
