Fortunately, my minivan's air conditioning is working well as we went to Reno this morning to do some grocery shopping and deal with maintenance issues on the Astro, preparatory to the Westercon trip coming up at the end of the month. Lisa also did some mechanical repairs last night, fixing the spring on the hood so it will actually open and improvising a metal L-bracket to make the front grille stop rattling until we have time to go to the Pick-a-Part place and see if we can track down a replacement.
I'm very happy that getting an oil change fixed a rattle and some performance issues. The Astro needs to run well for these long road trips.
