'Have to keep this month's issue short and sweet!
1) I've been meaning to tell you guys for a while now that
many of the most popular
'How-To' articles that have appeared in the newsletter over the
years are archived
on the website (including the two important ones mentioned in item
#2 below), indexed
here:
www.DavesRepair.com/DIYhelp/index.htm
2) Somehow July's already here again, when I always remind
(nag!) you (and myself)
to clean your refrigerator's condenser coil and lubricate its door
seals.
As you know, these two little jobs will make your refrig breathe
easier and save you a
bunch of money in the long haul, so they're
definitely worth doing annually.
And seal lube is especially important these days when seals are no
longer held on with
screws, making them really tough to replace.
This simple trick prevents your ever having
to replace them, if
done correctly and annually (our refrig is 30+ years old and its
seals
still look new, even though its 'Harvest Gold' color is really
getting hard on the eyes)
So here's your (and my own) 'official' annual reminder (you needed something else to
do, right?!)
Seal

to clean your refrigerator's condenser
3) Many of you have been taking advantage of me
<grin> with the 'two or more ship
free'
sale, and I'm happy to keep it up and running for you.
Details for newer subscribers: shipping
and handling are
no charge for
any
two or
more
online products purchased on the specials
page, to any US
address. But
only for DRSNews
subscribers. Regrettably, this has to be limited
to US
subscribers, as
international shipping
rates have gotten pretty pricey.
Here's the current list of parts and tools included:
Sale Parts . If you don't see what you
need there, just
ask. I can probably throw in parts that
aren't listed if you get in touch.
I know I keep saying this, but it's true: one of the most rewarding
things I've gotten
over
the years from
writing
this little newsletter is the blessing and encouragement
the thousands
of
you have
been, and continue to be, to me over the years.
You
send me the most wonderful 'feedback' comments (I keep them all in their
own folder),
and I want you to know just how much I appreciate
you. This
shipping deal is just a tiny token
'thank you' that I'm pleased to do as a feeble attempt to say THANKS for
your incredible
support over the years!
Please feel free to send me any other ideas you might have for
subscriber 'perks' I can
add for you, and I'll do my best to make them happen. And any suggestions for article
topics, manuals you could use, tools you'd like to have available, etc, are
all always
welcome.
4) Our daughter Lindsay has been living in Chile for the last few years, and has fallen
in love
with that country and its amazing people. Even though it's no longer
mentioned in our
news
here in the US, the devastation and homelessness there from the March
earthquake is
still
many years from getting back to normal. In fact, she says aftershocks are continuing even
now, some 4 months later, with everyone
still on edge.
Most of us just don't have Chile on our 'radar' any longer, because the
media has moved on
to more sensational stories by now, but the needs there are still crushing.
She previously lived in the town of Valparaiso, on the hard-hit Pacific
coast, before her
apartment
was destroyed by the quake (she was back in PA for week-long visit when it hit,
by God's mercy),
and has been working with the newspaper in Santiago and several relief
agencies
there.
I've had a lot of folks ask what they could do to help (many thanks to
those of you who already
have!), so I've hastily
put up a simple webpage
to accept donations from anyone who would care
to send a few dollars to the
relief effort. No
donation is too small, and 100% of the funds she's
collecting goes directly to
helping the people
of Chile get their lives back to some semblance of
normal. Whole towns that were
located on the
coast near the epicenter no longer exist, and many
families are still living
outside, with no real
shelter or income - and it's winter there now.
I hope to post more photos and details on the site in the near future;
right now it's just a one-page
site to accept donations via Paypal. Thank you very much and God bless you for
anything you can
do to help, at

5) Lyme Disease has reached epidemic levels here in our neck of the woods,
and yep, I've come
down with it like so many others. On the one hand, I'm glad to know that the
extreme fatigue I've
been dealing with for the last 3-4 years *isn't* just aging <grin>. On the
other, it comes with a
painful and bothersome bunch of symptoms, which can vary from one individual to
the next, not
to mention the 'interesting' co-infections that often accompany it.
Just in case any of you are also dealing with this nastiness, here are a
few resources that have
helped me a lot:
www.LymeDoctor.com - I highly
recommend Dr Singleton's book, 'The Lyme Disease Solution'
www.ILADS.org - Another excellent site
www.LymePA.org - From SE Pennsylvania;
download your free 'The Basics' pdf booklet here
