Thanks for the resistance values, DJ! To be safe, I did order a new resistor, and I'll send it back if I don't need it.
I'll be getting a new drier again with the TXV valve, and I'll replace both of those. I actually do have a recovery tank, but my vacuum is a single stage.... so I'm gonna borrow Ron's. I really want to get all Yellow Jacket tools, but damn are they expensive!
Walmart was out of R134A, so I went to Vatozone and they price matched Walmart. Just took my word for it too.... they didn't even look it up, now that I'm thinking about it. Never heard of this brand though.
As much as I love fireworks, I just couldn't bring myself to light that much money on fire (literally).
I called the 'rents back in Ohio last evening. Dad was out on the deck and it sounded like he was hunkered in a bunker! (He loves it. Mom? Notsomuch.). OTOH, I didn't hear a single bang or boom here. I had to cut a couple of bolts down to mount a TV, and the cutoff wheel spit off the only fireworks I saw this year.
EDIT: I just saw a news tickler indicating that pyrotechnics fell into the crowd at a BYU event?

Yeah.... my cousin actually left our family reunion early yesterday because he had tickets to the Stadium of Fire. I haven't talked to him since he left.... so I assume he's alright.
I seriously would be perfectly fine if they banned fireworks in my area. Me and the Wife were just talking, and we think it's been 4 straight years that a stray firework has headed our way.
EDIT: When I used to still buy/light fireworks, they were always in a block like this. I'd have 3 or 4 of them, and a hose ready to go. Last night it was a stray that shot out the side of the firework. If it would have been contained by blocks, it would have been contained. It's 100% the people lighting them off that concern me.
