    The AC my car die, there was no blow. If we drove fast enough we could feel a slight cool breeze.

    Hit up YouTube, turns out there is an AC blower fan - makes sense - and the one in my car had probably made it’s last rotation.

    Found a replacement part for $50 on eBay, followed YouTube vids to replace. Took about 15 min, and a bit of discomfort. Beautiful cool Air on demand again, in time for that 40C day.

    Given that super cheap auto quoted me $350 for the manufacturer recommended part, I like to think I saved myself a lot on going to the mechanic. Pretty chuffed with myself, I know nothing about cars; thanks YouTube.

    For whoever likes a classical music Livestream, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra does free Livestream of certain performances they do. You can sign up on their website or subscribe via their YouTube channel. They seem to do it around once a month. Not exactly Australian but it’s nice to see something different every once in a while.
