011 Spillin The RC Cola: Our Air Conditioner Blew up

Our AC unit literally blew up. It was loud, it was scary, and it filled the whole house with noxious smoke. But it was also a sign.This is eps 011 of Jamie and Claire Finding Home, our daily saga to move from NM back home to PA. And today we are struggling with an air conditioner that exploded in our faces.In this episode of Spillin' the RC Cola, we sit down with our RC Cola and mini MoonPies to tell the real story behind the explosion — the chaos, the duct tape, the box fans, and what it means for our timeline. Because that blown-up AC unit was the sign we needed: we're not staying until October. We're leaving by the end of August.We also share: The wild story of how a split-second decision with a trucker friend got us off the streets in New Mexico Jamie's continuous glucose monitor (he's officially part cyborg now) A church fart story that will make you cry laughing And our original song "We Got Grit" — the lyrics are about Mama and Papa, about laying up food for winter, about bending like cane but never bowing down. It's the battle cry of simple people who have the grit and grace to win over every obstacle. Keep the shiny side up, rubber side down. Happy trails, partner. 🤠Welcome to Jamie and Claire: Finding Home 🏡 Join Jamie, Joe, and Claire for nostalgic storytelling, country music, and our Appalachian journey from New Mexico back home to Pennsylvania.
