[urq] a/c expansion valve

[Brandon Rogers]

I decided if I'm going to take 4 days off from work, leave my wife and 6 
month old for 6 days, and spend 4 complete days out of 6 covering 4000 
miles, I was damn well going to be comfortable.  No sense in missing work 
and family and spending $500 in gas to be miserable with windows down at 
90mph or windows up and 100 degree cabin temps....

but its going to be a great time I think.

Oh yeah - and wear and tear - hey these things were made to be driven and 
I'm not saving my car for anybody - I'm going to use it up.

Bill it would take a lot more than you giving me a hard time to hate - I can 
take it (all in good fun)

Brandon
