somewhere around year nine of running this company i noticed my phone had a folder that was just food.

homemade pepperoni pizza from a customer who had just finished a 25 mile bike ride. spaghetti and meatballs with the air handler closet still open behind me. miso ramen a customer made me, eaten in the truck cab. beans and sausage on a patio with a dog under the table making a strong case for half of it.

none of these people had to do that. i show up, i fix the thing, i leave. the plate is extra. it is a customer looking at the guy working on their system and deciding he is a person before he is an invoice.

that is the part of this job nobody prints on the van, so i am printing it here. new series. plate in front, panel off. i will never post a name or a house, but i will never forget who fed me either.

thank you, south bay. you cook better than you think.

A 73 year old rode 25 miles on his bike, then went home and made pizza from scratch. I get winded opening a service panel.

The other night I was working late on a mini split heat pump in Los Gatos, right through dinner. The homeowner's dad walked out with this. Homemade crust, real pepperoni, served on a paper plate two feet from the outdoor unit with its guts open.

Working after hours has its perks. This is the best one.

September in San Jose is the sweet spot for your HVAC. The AC just survived another summer of Willow Glen afternoons and Evergreen heat pockets, and the furnace has not been asked to do a single thing since March. That gap is exactly when a tune-up pays for itself.

Here is what a real maintenance visit does, not the drive-by kind:

• Cleans the coil and checks airflow so the system stops working harder than it has to
• Catches the small stuff, a weak capacitor or a dirty flame sensor, before it turns into a no-heat call on the first cold night
• Trims the PG&E bill, because a clean system uses less electricity to do the same job
• Confirms the safeties actually work

Sharing is caring. Butch grabbed the last chorizo and egg burrito from the taco truck, he gave me half of it after I cried the unfairness. What a sweet little Terrier, from Boston.
