Earlier this spring, after a romp in the woods, one was kinda limping around. She had worn the pads on her feet way down. They’ve both lost collars and one lost her harness. One broke her leash twice; one time she ripped the sewing that formed the handle loop; the other was the swivel for the catch to the harness. I riveted the leashes to back up the sewing and got the swivel back together in a vice (couldn’t force it by hand) and hammered the retainer part to tighten it up.
No quittin` fer those two!

Having owned a Beagle yourself, you know why Schultz named that doggy what he did.
Id
And chase cats and bunnies.
They haven't caught a rabbit yet, but they do enjoy the chase.
Id
Nah. The Beagles get along with other doggies.
Now, cats and especially rabbits are a different story!
Soldier Son takes them out to an off-leash bush area in the river valley and turns them loose. After an hour or two he usually has to go in to round them up even though from time to time one or the other will come out for a drink of water. They sleep especially well those nights.
Id
Yeah, Know what you mean; Know what you mean.
80 here is a hot day. 100 would prolly kill me.
Come on up. Bring the girls too. They can play with our girls.
We’ll find some room for you somewhere.

`Mornin` LH,
That whole story is filled with false denials.
As someone once said: “Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink.”
Beautiful day here; No wind; Predicted to get to 80° F.
And… The weekend starts later today.
(Not that it makes much difference to me.)
Have a good one all!

How frequently (on average) is the clunk, clunk, clunk?
Once a second? Longer? Every how many seconds or minutes?
Less than a second between clunks? Guess how many clunks per second.
Describe the “clunk”.
Is it the “oil can” sound? Metal on metal? Metal on plastic? Or?
High or low pitched?
Id
In an updraft the blower and filter(s) are on the bottom, blowing the air up.
Id
That link is for a belt drive, not a direct drive which probably is more complicated.
On our furnace (old) the fan compartment is simply accessed by pulling up a cover and pulling it away. Very simple. Is yours (updraft furnace?) like that? That could eliminate the belt possibility.
Id
I searched Lennox.com. All there was is this “generic” manual:
http://www.lennox.com/pdfs/manuals/Lennox_G12_Manual.pdf
Figure 1 shows a drawing of the updraft and downdraft types. Both show direct drive (motor integrated into the fan) blowers.
BUT… In the lower left hand corner is a separate drawing of a belt drive assembly. A note says: “G12E-200 models only use belt drive blower motor”.
There is still hope that it is a belt and not the bearings. Not much hope… BUT…
Id
Is the fan a belt drive?
If so, the belt could have a crack or have a “chunk” missing.
I’ve replaced clunky belts several times. I keep the belt tension almost absurdly low. My experience with the belts is that if I adjust them “snug”, they tend to squeal after a while.
When the sleeve bearings went in our fan, (I can’t remember the sound but it was there all the time.), I replaced them with ball bearings. Some years later one of the bearings went bad. I replaced them with the same ones and they have lasted for years.
… clunk clunk clunk not just a one time pop.
I now kinda doubt that it is the duct also.
Id
Sorry for the late response. Sometimes I need a time-out from the computer.
Most that I've looked at have solid state relays that have outputs in the miliamp range.
A Solid State Relay (SSR) is an external device. The controller output 5 Volts and 30 mA turns it on and off when required. This control Voltage turns on a LED in an opto-isolator within the SSR. The output of the opto-isolator turns on the power switching circuitry. The opto-isolator isolates the power side of the SSR from the control input (LED) side.
Your desired lower temperature range of 35°F is too close to the controller’s 32°F for my liking. Perhaps you should search for another, something like the ones Don found. They are more designed for your application.
Id
BTW… It’s a font deal.
I sign my messages as “Id”. That’s capital “i” and small “d”. Capital “i” looks like lower case “L”, (“l”).
Sorry for the interruption.
What temperature range do you wish to achieve?
What accuracy do you wish?
What temperature deviation from a set point is permissible?
The AI-208 is an industrial controller more suited for an application to control an oven. One of the specs is:
Suitable for 0~999°C application.
0°C = 32°F; The freezing point of water.
Yes, AC for the controller only (not the load) are #1 & #2.
You can’t go by the other pin numbers because some functions are different in the different diagrams
On pages 6 & 7 are “Wiring Graphs”, but I don’t know which is the AI-208.
I presume the terminals named “Main Input”, Main Output” or “Relay Output” are the relay contacts to turn on or off the power to the device.
Power would go to the “- COM” terminal. When the controller turns the output “ON” that power should be switched on to the load through the + N/O terminal.
In relay parlance; COM stands for “Common”, N/O is “Normally Open”, N/C is “Normally Closed”. The COM terminal, when on, is switched to the N/O terminal. When off, to the N/C one (if it has one).
The Alarm terminals are such a relay; COM, N/O, and N/C.
The thermistor terminals are labeled “OUTP” on two of the diagrams.
In the bottom diagram the thermistor connects to #12 & #13. I don’t know for sure, but #14 probably provides some (optional?) bias or offset for the thermistor input.
Id
First, the Amazon, Johnson Controls A19AAT-2C looks interesting… curious interesting.
The curious part is the AC plug. To me, it plugs in and the 120 Volt load plugs into the (controller-switched) back of the plug. Simple and easy if so. Just my guess.
Power supply:
24 Volts * 4.6 Amps = 110.4 Watts.
With power supplies, bigger (within reason) is usually better.
Here is an example of a 150 Watt, 24 Volt, 6.5 Amp one:
http://www.circuittest.com/s-150-24-ac-dc-power-supply-150w-24vdc-6-5a.html
If so, the AC cord for the power supply would plug into the AC input / output plug / jack.
Of course the temperature sensor would have to be in the cooled area.
I found this owner’s manual:
http://yudian.com.hk/attachment/product/20110823095403_file_0.pdf
Looks complicated and *** You may have to supply a correct thermocouple ***.
What is the application for the cooler?
On pages 6 & 7 are “Wiring Graphs”, but I don’t know which is the AI-208.
I presume the terminals named “Main Input”, Main Output” or “Relay Output” are the relay contacts to turn on or off the power to the device.
Power would go to the “- Com” terminal. When the controller turns the output “ON” that power should be switched on to the load through the "+ N/O" terminal.
If you don’t need that much precision and my guess about the AC plug is correct, go with something like the Johnson Controls one.

Dunno if Soldier Son and The Marine ever hooked up.
Soldier Son said that he could learn a lot from Robbie.
My “shot” was based on the perception of the strengths of Canadian vs. US beers. Thus, The Marine’s disadvantage.
Id
Hey, our neighbors still answer their doors and phones when we go a callin’.
As far as The Marine and Soldier Son are concerned, beer would be involved. Canadian Beer! After a few cans or bottles, Soldier Son would have The Marine at a distinct disadvantage. Soldier Son also has a housemate who is a member of the Canadian Military.

Here are a few more four letter words:

We have oil, gas, and coal also.
I pretty much agree with Pickens. Keep Natural Gas for house heating and vehicles.
If there was a proper infrastructure for Nat Gas refueling, vehicles could be designed with engines with much higher compression ratios, resulting in greater efficiency.
Use “Evil Coal” for power plants… Nuclear also.
Back in the early `80’s a Brother in Law stayed with us for most of a week. He, an Environmental Engineer, was doing monitoring on local coal fired power plants.
After an off handed comment I made concerning coal, he quickly straightened me out… Saying that the scrubbers were doing their job and generally… All Was Well.
Edmonton.
Although it is ~ 90 miles south of the geographical center of the province, it is considered the “north”. Calgary is the “south”, Red Deer in the center.
We are far enough north that right now we have ~17 hours from sunrise to sunset. What a Waste! In the doldrums of winter there are only ~ 7 hours of daylight. Yeah, drive to work in the dark, repeat for the drive home.
Fortunately, being retired, I no longer endure that commute.

LH would have no problem moving here. Not enough workers and there are thousands of “Temporary Workers”.
Canada’s population is ~ 34 million; Alberta’s ~ 3.6 million.
Typically there are ~ <10,000 new jobs per month in Alberta.
99,000 new jobs in 2011.

How about this one from July 20, 2011?
Alberta created more new jobs in June (22,000) than all 50 U.S. states combined (18,000), even though the U.S. population is 85 times larger than Alberta's;

A couple weeks ago, my Wife was out walking our two Beagles. They came across a man walking with his young daughter. The little girl wanted to pet the doggies and they, always craving attention, were more than happy to oblige. Small talk between the Wife and man revealed that they had just moved here from OHIO.
Oh, LH… We do have AC up here, believe it or not.
We don’t have it in our house, but I consider it a necessity for only ~ two weeks a year.
Id
You had to bring that up. I Hate Winter. LOL
We get -30°C (-22°F) cold spells that typically last a week or two. It can often get to -40°. A few years ago, one morning it was -46°C (~ -51°F).
Amazingly, my car started even though it does not have a block heater. The next morning it was -40° and it didn’t start.
Id
Yeah, pretty much typical for this time of year.

Since many lately are into weather reports:
Today:
Mainly sunny. Increasing cloudiness near noon with 30 percent chance of showers this afternoon. Risk of a thunderstorm this afternoon. Wind becoming southwest 20 km/h (~12 mph) this afternoon. High 23°C (~73°F). UV index 6 or high.
Later this week the forecast is ~80°F

You could try power steering no leak, stop leak, or conditioner. I have not used any of these products. Some of the products here are only fluid, not a conditioner.
http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/AutoFluidsChemicals/SteeringFluid.jsp
If you are into DIY, or have an independent mechanic, you could get a rebuilt pump or one from an auto wrecker. Auto parts stores should carry generic replacement hoses and perhaps the cooler, but these also could be purchased at a wrecker.
For your own peace of mind, you should track down the leak.

Thank You, LH.

Yeah, a long time ago, my schools had athletic “Field Days”. We had sunscreen back then but pretty much nobody used it. Becoming tanned was part of the rite of passage from winter to summer. That said, many of the field days produced sun burns to our ‘melanin deprived’ skins.
I believe that there are laws that protect a first aid administer as long as they do not knowingly do something stupid. This could protect the teacher from an action taken by the ‘patient’ or their family, but alas, NOT from the School District.

PC Runs Amok… Again!
Her response centered around the the [school's] inability to administer what they considered a prescription/medication (sunscreen) for liability reasons.
What if a student had a severe allergy to something like a bee sting, and carried a Doctor’s Prescribed “EpiPen” that was not accompanied by a Doctor’s letter?
And what if said student suffered such a sting at school that resulted in anaphylactic shock and the student was unable to administer the drug?
Theoretically, what would the teacher do? Watch the student die while awaiting the Paramedics? Or break a stupid policy / law to at least buy some time?
… and that school policy should be revised by October.
Not Soon Enough!
